16 Years Old and I think I have Erectile Dysfunction

JustDance, first realize that your not the only one. It sounds like this is more psychological than mechanics. A simple test you can do at night, as you should be having erections when you sleep, take a postage stamp and when you go bed, lick the stamp and put it on your flaccid penis and make sure to wait til it dries. Sleep with underwear on. When you wake up in the morning, if the stamp came off then we know that it is most likely not a physiolgal problem. In other words, you can get erections. A lot of time, its really more psychological. The more you get anxiety and stress, the less likely you are to get erect and then you get even more anxious and stressed and it's even more likely that you get erect. It's a vicious cycle b
Now, what you really, really to do is to go see a doctor. I don't know where you live, but do a Google search and find a clinic near you. Try and go to clinics that specialize in things like that. Something like Plan Parenthood. You should get checked for STIs, sexually transmitted infections, like HIV, syphillis etc...because they sometimes interfere and it's good to know that your negative. You should have that done regularly and anytime you've had sex with a different partner. Your girlfriend should have that done also. She should also have her HPV shot. I believe even guys your age should get it also, but I'm not 100% sure. Your girlfriend should also have what we call a pelvic exam every year.

But go see a doctor!!! I know it's a little embarrassing, but hes a doctor JustDance. He hears this type of problem all the time. This is his specialty. The really important thing that you need to realize is that you are not alone. You would be surprised how many kids your age have equipment failure. It's a lot more than you think, but no one talks about it.

If you have a public hair ( obviously if you shave, u wont, but if it grows back, then things work there normally, remember as far as your testicles it's normal for some guys not to have any there ) if you have armpit hair, if your voice has deepened, your Adam,s Apple has gotten bigger, if you have some chest air, keeping in mind that its not unusual for guys not to have some. If your testicles have have gotten bigger, if your flaccid penis has gotten bigger, you problably have normal testosterone, but you should still get checked. They may have been high b4 but now they could be low.
So,,One test for sure they will do is to check your testosterone levels. At your age they should be pretty high. It's a simple blood test and if it's low, that would explain a lot.
So for sure you should get it tested just in case. It may have had normal levels before, but they could be low know they would've prescribe testosterone. The most common way it comes is a gel. You put a dose of the gel on your shoulder and rub it in. Eventually, your testosterone will go up and you will have very hard errctions, as is normal at your age that's the way they should be. When you have your orgasms, as you said, you should ejaculate/cum fairly big load and you should get quite the distance when you ejaculate, even right up over your shoulder or face. Remember though that its perfectly normal to have less forceful ejaculation. We never know what distance we get: sometimes it just dribbles down the shaft of your penis and thats perfectly normal.

But JustDance, you should really go see a doctor just to make sure that medically, everything is at it should be

But honestly, the odds of you having something wrong physically, is very rare at your age.

I really believe its more psychological. That does not mean your crazy. At all. At all. Are you very religious, Are you feeling any shame or guilt about having sex before your married, because your not supposed to because the bible " says that". Because if that's the case, well you need to address it. You should feel no shame or guilt whatsoever. NADA, NIET,NOTHING.
If that's the issue, then you need to make peace with God. He gave you these feelings and its perfectly normal to feel then and act on them. You should have no shame at all.

But if your not religious, the problem is still most likely in your head.

Here's a question for you. Before this started to happen, did thinks all work well b4 and then suddenly for whatever reason,,this started to happen?

I think that once the medical doctor says everything is ok, it might help to see a counsellor who specializes in things like this.

I really think that what's happening, is you have gotten stuck in a circle of anxiety and your stressing so much about it, that it just makes this worth. Your so afraid it won't work, that you start stressing about it, which makes even worse, so your hoping your erection will start, but it doesn't, so you stress even worse. Your penis will simply refused to work cause your so nervous it won't see what I'm getting at? Does it make sense? See what I'm getting at? It happens far more then you think. Plenty often with kids your age. You are not alone. Its happen to me. For the time being, try really hard to stop worrying. I know us guys kinda of don't like to forplay all that much. But here, it might help. So when your with your girlfriend, forplay much longer. It's going to make your penis even harder, because you just want one thing and you know what that is ;)

I don't know if you use lube, but if you don't, then try that. "Astroglide" is the best. Try the silicone based one, it last much longer and it's great for If your in the shower with her having sex. Lube really, really intensifies then, especially if your circumcised. You should always use a condom. Even if they are pre lubricated, you can put a big of lube inside or your penis. Dont put too much you don't want to have the condom to slip off. Try a non latex condom and see how that feels. Their are 2 other type of material used to make Non latex condoms. Try them both, see if that makes a difference.

It's a little risky, but if and only absolutely if you and your girlfriend have BOTH been TESTED for STIs. You may consider not wearing a condom IF ONLY IF you have been in a monogamous relationship for a long while, like over a year. But ALWAYS, ALWAYS have condoms with you.

The other thing u can try, is a penis ring. There are tons of sites that sell them. Get a basic one for now snd make sure it has like some form of quick release. Some of them are adjustable. Get your penis as hard as u can. Put the penis ring on your erect penis all the way to the base. With the adjustable ones, you can tighten things up. You should not leave it on for more than 30 minutes, or You could injure thé Inside of your penis. But it should hopefully maintain your erection. You will even notice your very very hard. After you ejaculate/cum take it off.

Don't bother buying all these stupid Pills like Stamina. All gimmicks.

When you see the doctor, talk to him about Viagra or Cialis or Levitra.

your not alone in this. It happens to many teens and young adults. But they just don't want anyone to know. I know its been a year and I hope u solved your proble. I will keep monitoring this thread if you have any questions.

Its the porn i stopped watching i masturbated sense 9 amd im 16 so 7 years like all the time and i called it quits and my penis regained like hardness and porn actully causes erectile difunction remeber that before you go fab

I'm only 15 my girlfriend tried to give me head but I couldn't get erect not even porn get me hard anymore I need some help

Porn desensities you to real intimacy with a real woman. Porn causes you to fantasize about things that are not normal. I'm a 63 year old man - married 40 years and still hold my wife in my arms, talk to her and cherish her.

I get steel hard erections because I fantasize about the sex my wife and I have together - not some visions of silicone fake women in porn videos.

What I’m noticing in a lot of posts is the use of porn. Try moving away from it and see what happens. Many people have had similar problems and cured it by giving up porn;  The truth is the porn is extremely risky to use because of the strong potential for addiction (it’s addiction is stronger than cocaine) and the side effects, such as the things that everybody here may be experiencing like the inability to get erections. Constant and continued masterbation may also be a problem. If you guys want more information about the side effects of porn or might want help in removing it from your life, take a look at ***this post is edited by moderator *** *** posting of web addresses is not allowed*** Please read our Terms of Use. I know it may seem sketchy or whatever but guys please give it a try. It’s life changing and eye-opening. Many people have found that after researching about porn’s side effects and deciding to give it up, a bunch of aspects of their life improved. Just look over the websites I provided and give it a try. That’s the only problem I’m really seeing in all these posts of people who can’t get erections at such a young age.

Yes i’ve been having problems like this as well and i honestly am not sure what to do. I don’t watch Porn and even when i’m mid getting a ha****b it just starts to disappear quickly. My girl and i have tried multiple times but only seems to work prior to the target. We cuddle and kiss and i get hard,but as soon as we want to it goes away.
