Dear service user,
Thank you for writing to HCM.
I can understand your concern about insufficient erections during sexual intercourse with the partner.
You do not have erectile problem during masturbation.
An occasional episode of erectile failure due to functional or situational reasons like fatigue, tension or own ''pressure to 'perform' rather to enjoy'' is very common.
So , next time one gets focused on own performance during sex. This is called performance anxiety.
For constant erection, continuous exciting/romantic/erotic feelings should be there in your mind. If your mind is diverted to concern about erection, you will lose erection. Don't 'see' the performance of penis.
You must try to enjoy and only enjoy, without focusing on your 'performance' or quality of erection during sex.
Practice this regularly without bothering quality of your erection.
I do not recommend medicines for you right now.
If your problem persists, Kindly consult psychiatrist, sexologist for same.
Warm regards.
