And i bet all you guys have one thing in common.. you smoke marijauna.. i promise you..l i had the same problem.. if you stop watch.. u start getting your erection back!!!
ok no big deal guys it all sounds like performance anxiety just relax for a while it could be caused by stress and if not then go to a doctor and they should treat anyone under the age of 18
Im in the same boat, im 19, ive had a lot fo girlfriends but for some reason i still masturbate everyday, its something ive done since i was 12 even when i have a super hot girlfriend that i can have sex with any time. on my spare time alone i still do it. its like a addiction for me. anyway same problems here, able to get an erection but ether not hard enough to have sex or if it is its not to my liking. i want it as hard as it can get when im with my girlfriend. anyway if you guys find anything let me know.
These problems are normal school, work, stress, not sleeping well ,not eating ,depression can cause that problem aslo . masterbaiting every day a couple of times can tier your system off getting a hand job in a car and not erecting could be that your worried if someone sees you and your always on the look out and when you hear a car pass by or some one walk you panic a little and that dosne't help you erect. in a realtionship if you notice in the begeing sex is great even if you rush into it or not after a year things change its not like the beging most guys when your with your girlfriends we dont like the whole kiss for like 10 15 min we like to have sex right away i suggest do the 10 min part of kissing let her touch you for abit so both you and her enjoy and this helps erect. for those who wanted to take medication such as viagra and others i do not recomend it becuase even at 16-25 years old is young are blood flows fast if we take viagra it can cuase you yo get a heart attack and for most teens or a little older your penis can shrink. see a docter he or she can help more then i can you can also try these herbs you can get that a a natural store helps erect better to. i had the same problem i normaly would have sex 5 to 8 times a day almsot everday and at some point i couldint erect as well from 9.1 inches i went down 8 then 7 takeing breaks from sex and masterbating helps to hope i helped you guys let me know if anyhting worked for you
I too have the SAME exact problems and I'm 18.
I am uncircumcised. My foreskin does not impede my erection so its not that.
I do not do any kinds of drugs and have no ever before.
I am overweight but currently my lifestyle change has me dropping 1 or 2 pounds a week.
I know its not "anxiety" because this happens while regular masturbation! I cant get it fully hard, its still somewhat bendable and the head doesnt inflate at ALL (I can pinch and prod and push it around as if it were unerect)
This problem is really effecting my love life. As an overweight guy who is uncircumsize,d those are 2 barriers I have to overcome in girls (unatraction to my weight, and then the stereotypical female disgust as uncircumcision) but now I also have this!
And to make it really bad, I don't have health insurance, I HAVE no doctor to go to! Any help is greatly appreciated.

That sounds exactly the same as what is happening to me. I'm 24 and have never had a problem like this before, but for a few months now I have been unable to get fully erect as you describe. I'm finding it much harder to get stimulated in the first place, too. I'm still able to ejaculate, but it's quite disconcerting that my penis isn't working the way that it should, and would definitely not satisfy a woman in the same way..
Anyone got any ideas about what may be causing this?

There is a lot of bad advice and pseudoscience on here.
First of all, masturbation is good for erectile function because engorgement of the corpus cavernosa through masturbation promotes healthy cell function and erection reflex.
Probably psychological if:
1. You can get a good erection while masturbating
and/or
2. You get morning erections of good quality
Probably physical if:
1.You can't get a good erection while masturbating
and/or
2. You get poor or no morning erections.
You should definitely see a urologist if the latter is true, I did, was diagnosed with venous leakage, and am now being treated and able to enjoy sex again. I'm 23 by the way.

i'm 19 and in college, and i'm having some serious problems with this too
i had a long time gf and everything worked fine. no problems ever having sex. then when we broke up i stopped being able to get hard. i thought it was a phsycological thing, but now its about 8 months later and i still have the same problem.
i can get semi hard, but thats it. also i don't even wake up with erections anymore , which leads me to believe it is nothing pshycological. most of the time i don't get as hard as i used to when watching porn either..
any help would be greatly appreciated

I'm 24 and am in the same situation....Even when i get an erection it doesn't last as long as it should...It's so frustrating, I hate that all of us are having this issue and no one can help us out
Might be worth geting yourselves checked for diabetes, that can cause erectile dysfunction.
And excessive alcohol, weed can also do damage, or stress.

I have a very similar problem I'm 16 and good to go when my girlfriend and are getting ready to have sex, and then when my pants come off my hard-on goes away what the hell is going on?!!!
I am 16, and i am having the same problem as this guy.
Hey dude, I was having the same problem. I thought I f'ed it up from bending it or something but I found that when you get the idea of "I hope it gets erect" out of your head, your body relaxes, and your back to normal. It's kind of like when you watched porn before this. You weren't watching your penis to make sure it went up, you were just letting your body relax and enjoying yourself. I just ejaced with no problems after I got the idea out of my head and acted natural. It was 100% hard too so just calm down. Most cases of ED in teens is because of stress so just relax. :-D
Dude, calm down. I'm not a doctor but I can assure you that you're not impotent, your penis isn't broken and there's no reason for all this panic.
Erectile dysfunction is the persistent inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual performance. The word persistent is crucial here. It is perfectly normal to fail every now and then, it happens to everyone and it is no reason for concern.
An erection is a complex event, it involves many different things: brain, penis, nervous system, hormones, cardiovascular system all have to work together to produce an erection. Any minor problem with one of these elements and your sexual performance may be compromised. But that doesn't mean that you're sick or have ED.
Anxiety is a perfectly normal reaction but it may get in the way of sex. And there's a good reason for this. When you get too anxious, the release of stress hormones constricts peripheral circulation so that blood can get to your vital organs (heart, lungs) more rapidly. The penis is not a vital organ and the last thing you need when you're facing a dangerous/stressful situation (e.g. involved in a fight or escaping a lion) is an erection! This is the infamous 'fight or flight response'. Again, this is a normal situation and extremely common.
Depression is another major cause (and consequence) of erection problems. Erections start in the brain and if the brain isn't working properly, your sexual performance will suffer. To make matters worse, most antidepressants (e.g. SSRIs) can cause or worsen ED.
I suggest you do some research on this subject. Read books, talk to experts, search the Internet. The more you know about your body, the less stressful these problems will be. Don't even think of trying any meds or natural supplements: most of the treatments you see on the Internet are useless and can do you more harm than good.
If your problem persists for more than three months, go see a urologist. It's no shame to seek professional help and even if this is 'just in the head', a urologist can help you. Anyway, you won't need any of that. I'm sure your problem is purely psychological. Just relax, try not to think about this too much and things will improve.

ok guys my name is jared and i had the same problem 2 weeks ago and it lasted for atleas 3-6 weeks, here is my advice, dont think about it, dont master bate for 1 week( i know its hard and if u cant stand it just masterbat once each week) if you have a rice bag (something you put in the mocrowave and heat it up) every night before you go ton bed put it between your legs and sleep with it like that. drink lots of water and stop taking any vitemens you have started to take if you have. it should be gone in a couple weeks. if you do not feel comfortable with this then see a doctor. no its not the end of your sex life because it is ED then there is metication. Oh an btw do lots of activitys because this well help you keep your heart working hard and well make more blood pump to the penis. Hope this helps.
