For about a month now I noticed that I am not getting random erections. I use to wake up every morning with one without failure. I didn't think a whole lot about it until the other night. I couldn't get an erection while trying to have sex with my girlfriend. It is the first time in over a month so I am very concerned. I am only 27 years old. Without going into to much more detail it gets sort of erect but not nearly enough to put a condom on. We tried oral as well as hand stimulation. No dice. Should I go to a general doctor or a specialist. I feel I am way to young for this to be happenning.

First of try to think if it might be psycological. Have you been under a lot of stress, depressed, etc. Do you suddenly begin worrying about "what if it did happen." That kind of thinking can cause it to happen. I was having erection problems and my wife suggested I sleep in the nude. The next morning she told me I was having them in my sleep. We spoon sleep. After ruling all of this out of the way, see your doctor if you are comfortable talking to him. If not see a specialist. I still worry about it often and I also have maintence problems. My doctor has given me Vigra, but so far I haven't had the fortitude to use it.
