What Causes Erection Problems During Sex?

Dear Doctor,
I am a 23 year old male who is having problems maintaining an erection during sex. I have no problems when it is oral sex but can not keep one during intercourse. I am a smoker and do drink occasionally. What can I do to help this problem

Hello,

If you do not have any erection problems during oral sex, and if you have erection problems in vaginal sex, it has to be due to psychological issues. I suggest sex counseling for you.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. K. V. Anand, Psychologist
