Erectile Dysfunction at age 17??

Posted , 5 users are following.

I'm 17 years old and I've been having trouble getting and keeping am erection hard enough to have sex w my girlfriend. I've been sexually active for a year and a half and this is the only time I've ever had this issue. Her and I started being sexual only a few weeks ago, but every time we start, I either can't get an erection at all or I do get one, but it goes away during sex (sometimes even inside if her). I'm just concerned because I'm very young and I am very fit so I don't see why this could happen to me.

I also was wondering if Viagra was an option, but I'm not sure if it I could even be prescribed it.

please help!

    At your age its more than likely something mental like she irritates you or you are nervous about diseases or pregnancy but it could be something physical as well. I treat men of all ages and circumcised men typically come in a lot more frequently for E.D.

    Are you using the correct sized condom? I need a little more to go on to help you to the full potential internet experience.

      My young friend.

      It could be a lot of thing. From stress to you not being turned on enough. 17 you should not be having a problem.

      What Marcellus said I never heard of that one about circumcised men

      First of all do you have any problem keeping a erection when you masturbate.But because you are so young I feel it would be best to go to a Urologist and have your Testosterone level checked

      They may be low. Have that done as so as you can.

      Try not to worry that is not good for you either.......Ken

      Circumcised men have a greater chance of this affecting them. If he is watching porn he may not be stimulated enough to cause an erection or an erection form enough for penetration or it returns to flaccid to quickly. This is caused from pornography and affects a lot of men, most of which are circumcised.could. e porn, could be a venus leak, could be under stimulation- it can be a lot of things!

      Hey Buddy

      I will have to look more into that. I never had a problem until after 50 but that was caused by my diabetes. I have good days and bad days.

      I think a lot of his problem is a new girlfriend and he is worried how he is going to preform. Stress can do a number on us men.

      He never answered me about the masturbation.

      Yes there could be a lot of problems. We never know each man has different problems

    Try watching porn and see if that helps. It could be something mentally with her so if you can keep it up while looking at a video/pics/etc. then it might have something to do with your feelings towards her or other things like other users mentioned.

    If you can get an erection to porn and stay erect with porn but you can't with a real woman. Then what you have is something called PIED (Porn induced erectile dysfunction).

    If this is the case then I advise you to look up on PIED and abstain from porn.
