i am unable to achieve and substain an erection during sex. what are the main causes and solutions? less masterbation? . i am in my later 20's and have yet to have sex in my life with a condom on and am forced to have sex without one which usually is not a problem for me. does masterbation really effect your erections and sex drive during sex?
masturbation is not harmful and will not affect your ability to achieve or maintain an erection during sex. if you are having these issues associate with sexual activity -- your first sexual activity -- this could just be "stage fright" or performance anxiety. while there can be organic reason why a person could not achieve an erection the fact that you are not having a problem with masturbation proves that the blood supply to your penis is adequate the nerves are working and all systems are "go". if (and when) you find a caring partner try to relax and allow nature to take its course when it comes to sexual activity. if you are still having problems you may need to see a counselor to help you through this anxiety-provoking event. many fears run through a man's mind when first-having sex: will i be able to perform? will i please my partner? will something happen that will embarrass me? will i get an std? many things. let sex "happen". don't be anyone but yourself.
