Dr. Bernard Seif answered

Specializes in Clinical Psychology

Erections: Younger guys get erections very easily. As men age it takes longer and involves more touch rather than from mental images or spontaneously. Please see your doctor to make sure all is well w/hormones and circulation. Peace and good health.
