A member asked:

I'm 23, i have been having a hard time getting and maintaining an erection. anything to help with this?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Two ideas: If you are not getting hard, impressive erections to your favorite pictures / fantasies / partner, you need to be checked for prolactinoma and hemochromatosis. Testosterone will often be normal and other hormones suppress your sexuality
