Q: 26 year old male, cannot achieve an erection around females when I want it too.

26 year old male, cannot achieve an erection around females when I want it too.Mentally, I love women, everything about them! I am Healthy, atheltic, do not smoke, or drinks, and feels fairly confident. Just does not occur, only occurs when I masterbate! Went to doctor, and said I was ok physically..Stopped masterbating in hopes I can achieve an erection,reason being I believe I have replaced human relationships with masterbating. I have been masterbating 2-3 times a day for about 5 years now. I do it as regularly and treat it like brushing my teeth.

 I do not even get random erections anymore! I do wake up with an erection, but its not as "full". This problem occured roughly one year ago, and the change from normal erections to none at all seem to have occured from one day to another, without a hint of problems before.

Are you kidding me?? Oh my God this is exactlyyyy me!!! I'm 26, and i used to masturbate an upward of 3-5 times a day for about 10 years... due to religious belief, i've always been a virgin until i got married 3 months ago... i was devastated when i found i was unable to achieve a reliable erection... i too am trying to stop masturbation in hopes of becoming normal again.... my urologists told me that based on blood tests there's nothing physically wrong with me, so it's probably psychological...

let's keep each other updated of what the results are please

 

p.s. i tried cialis and viagra 2 months ago, and they did not work...

p.s. i can still masturbate, but without a 'full' erection..

Yea I dont know what the deal is at all. My guess i replaced what should be stimulating me (real life women) with masterbating to "make me feel good", this highwiring my brain, and/or my pleasure centers to seek out sexual gratification via masterbating only. If anyone can fact check this, it would be wonderful, but this is my belief since I love everything about women and sex!! I will update every so often

I am 22 and have the same problems as you. I am 90% sure that it is due to masturbation. I am also in the process of trying to fix this. I recommend masturbating less and do not stroke your penis too firmly. Vagina is not as firm as your hand, and we have been training our bodies to become erected only with a firm grip from the hand. I believe some of this is also mental. Nervousness can also cause ED. Goodluck.
