What Causes Lack Of Erection In Penis?
Hi.
if this is possible i would like to know if this could be a physical defect.
I have been experiencing sexual problems for a while now.
Me and my fiance have been together for 5 years now,still going strong.
And the past 3 months we try to engage in sex,i keep losing my erection.
at first i thought this was a problem between us(physological or mental problems),but we talk very openly and discuss our relationship,also we not really the fighting type as we get along so well,we fight maybe once in 6 months or so,and its never rely serious.
We have been looking at this problem for a while now and cant find an answer,
As the wierd thing is when we both start getting into the mood,i do start getting an erection,but when im almost there,i lose it,then i carry on with this,start getting another 1,but lose it again just before im ready.
then i thought maybe it could be something mental,such as her not giving me the pleasure i want,but thats not it,we have an open relationship and try new things.
then i thought it could be a case of erectile dysfunction,but then i read up on it and my symptoms dont add up to this as i am able to get an erection,just not a strong enough 1 and then i lose it.
However the more wierd thing is sometimes i am able to perform fully,such as last weekend i was able to successfully perform sexual contact 4 times in a row in 2 days and i had full erections,however sometimes im not able to perform even once a week.
im not really the romantic type,nor is she,but i do make it special and she does the same for me everytime. like we aid in massages,ect.
also we do like to "connect" emotionaly before doing it,as we see this more spiritual than anything.
The funny thing is i can still feel the need to do it,like spiritualy i feel like i want to and im in the mood,yet i cant perform physicaly.
also another thing i experienced is that sometimes during getting in the mood,i lose my erections and get it back,but sometimes,only sometimes,im able to get a full erection after trying for an x number of minutes,but mostly it just ends in my fiance getting to crazy for me and stopping.
is there any possibilities to what this could be?
excuse my spelling errors.
thank you.

Hello, and thanks for your question.
Erectile dysfunction is best treated with the medication Viagra (sildenafil). This is very likely to improve your erection quality and duration. I would talk with a local doctor about prescribing this to you.
