A member asked:

It's been a week and i can't get an erection. i wake up with semi-boners but that's it, what's wrong?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Erection problems: May be due to psychological or physical problems, sometimes both. Erection problems may indicate physical issues such as sugar diabetes or inadeqate circulation. You should see you doctor for diagnosis.
