Question 1

having trouble getting erection and then having trouble ejaculating?

Accepted Answer

Doctor can evaluate: To assess erections that have weakened, one should visit his primary care doctor, who can check for causes:  stress, depression, diabetes, high blood pressure, low testosterone, artery disease, high cholesterol, smoking, older age, etc...  Causes found can be treated to help make erections stronger, firmer, longer lasting. A urologist can be helpful too, if needed.

Question 2

i got a circumcision a month ago on june 21 and now that it's been a month i'm having allot of trouble getting erections during sex please help

Accepted Answer

Adult circumcision: Your sensitivity level has changed and you likely have become self-conscious which interferes w/spontaneous responses such as erections.  If your doc says your health is fine, consider seeing a licensed sex therapist for a few educational sessions.  W/out foreskin the head of your penis may feel less sensitive because the tissue thickens but will function just fine.  Peace and good health.

Question 3

i have trouble getting erections. i dont want to take viagra. is l-citrulline good for blood flow to penis? i read it was. thanks

Accepted Answer

Yes: L-citrulline is a naturally occurring amino acid which is found in food, such as watermelons, and it is also made in the body. It may help to open up veins &amp; arteries to improve blood flow &amp; may therefore help with erectile dysfunction. Other foods that may help include oysters, coffee, dark chocolate, nuts, grape juice, garlic, olive oil, salmon &amp; other fatty fish &amp; chili peppers. Best of luck!

Question 4

my circumcised penis is sensitive. specifically the skin bottom of the shaft. no trouble getting erection. during sex the sensitivity causes me to ejaculate within 2 to 3 minutes. besides desensitizing condom, other way to desensitize or thicken skin?

Accepted Answer

Anesthetic gel: 2% xylocaine or lidocaine gel applied to head of penis will both act as alubricant to reduce friction &amp; as reducing skin sensation. Combination of 2 effects will prolong time between penile insertion &amp; ejaculation. Try it, you might like it as well as you have nothing to lose because anesthesia effects will be gone within 15 - 30 minutes.

Question 5

why am i having trouble getting an erection when with a girl in bed if i am only 18?  how do i fix this?  i still get full normal erections randomly .

Accepted Answer

See Urologist: This is almost certainly on an emotional basis since you occas get spontaneous erections. A brief visit can probably lead to improvement or complete cure.

Question 6

i'm 23 years old and i have trouble getting an erection. also, when i do get aroused, i ejaculate prematurely. what is my problem? what meds are avail

Accepted Answer

See urologist: You will need complete evaluation by an urologist to find out why you are having trouble with erection. Premature ejaculation is common. Increasing the frequency of sex and foreplay may be help. Your doc may consider medications to delay ejac but need to make sure it does not interfere with erection.

Question 7
