Im 24 and recently started experiencing problems maintaining erections. Its all quite confusing seeing as I can achieve one while clothed but lose it the moment i remove my boxers. It's never happened until I randomly hooked up with my co-worker. She is incredibly attractive and I find myself distracted by her constantly. My sex drive is healthy but inability to maintain erections has become almost a joke between us. It's not very funny to me however. Its rather trying to me mentally because only a week before meeting her, I was still engaging in random sex on the regular and experiencing no trouble. Is this mental? The worrying has also caused me to notice a recent lack of random erections during the day. Am I psyching myself out?
I'm having the same problem and actually just posted in another thread on the same topic. I was thinking about viagra to get my confidence up, but I'm afraid it might become kind of a crutch for me. This is a problem I've been struggling with and I'm looking for all the help I can get!
For a man your age this is almost certainly totally mental. Do you have any problems maintaining an erection while masturbating? If not..then there is no physical issue at all. I've been there..I know the feeling of anxiety of finally bedding someone you're really attracted to. The key for me is just relaxation. Maybe go out for drinks before hand to loosen up the mood. Spend more time on foreplay...massage each other, play orally. I know it sucks and its embarrassing...but its all in your head you just have to try to relax and work through it...best of luck!
