Q: How can I get more aroused with my girlfriend?

My girlfriend and I have been dating for about 6 months. Shortly after she had got herself vacinated for HPV (as I have genital warts and had asked her to do so) we haven't really connected sexually. I can get myself aroused fine on my own, but when we try to have sex sometimes I can't get erect or maintain an erection. She usually gets frustrated and I get discouraged. This has been making me feel a growing distance with her. I spoke to my doctor about erectile dysfubction, but as he states ( and I agree ) that if it works some of the time, then there is no dysfunction, It could be a psychological reaction. Also, she has told me that her past 3 boyfriends have had the same problem. I try to stimulate her any other way, either manually by hand, oral sex, and she doesn't get aroused. I respond pretty well to oral stimulation from her, but it doesn't always work. What can we do to maintain my erections so that we can have sex more often?

It sounds to me like you have both worked yourselves up so much that neither of you can become aroused.  You need to talk to each other and try not to think about it so much and maybe try a few simple make out sessions with no plans to have sex and see if yall can get aroused that way.
