Most guys go through this at some point. It usually happens a few times in a row because you are still thinking about the past failures.
Bingo. Just try to shake it off man. Go release some stress some other way, don't think about it, and just go for it when the moment is right.

also...wait a week to 10 days without an ejaculation...see if that helps.... you may be experiencing a blood pressure problem with blurred vision...

there is a supplement that can be obtained OTC or prescribed...it is called Yohimbe.

Yeah, impotence is very often a mental issue more than anything else. Beer doesn't help, though. Everyone's been there when you're wearing the rubber overcoat and have had a skinful of beer.... you're on the job, dehydrated to hell, she's dry as, you're numb from the 12 pints of Stella, the johnny's not helping sensitivity, and you think you might rather just go to sleep/pass out than continue like a jackhammer. Suddenly you find that you're losing it a bit and the worry of imminent flaccidity drives you into a moment of panic. Of course, every girl takes you losing it as you thinking they're not attractive, so awkward conversations usually follow, and you can't just carry on pumping away as after a while it's going to be like trying to shove an oyster into a slot machine...
Best move here is to admit drunkeness before she noticies a distinct loss of penile pressure, and to say you need 10 mins and a cup of tea. This usually bails you out of the potential situation.

As for not being able to get it up fully when you're alone, even with the help of the internet and it's wealth of faux-blondes with modified chests, I'd say this sounds like something you should speak to your doctor about. They're paid to deal with stuff like this, and you can of course expect complete confidentiality.

Good on you ATOT for being so understanding to this guy. :beer

Yeah, I'm amazed... This is still ATOT, right? :)

I wonder if the doctor would even prescribe the little blue pills to a sixteen year old.... Worth a shot, anyway.

Sounds like an injury I've heard of happen before. Just lay off having sex or masturbation for the next week. You'll find it'll do wonders.

Another vote for going to the doctor ... better to make sure it isn't something physical. Good luck.

As a pretend doctor, here are a few questions:

1) When you masturbate alone, do you get a 'full' erection? If you do, a physical problem is unlikely.

2) Similarly, most men have erections when they awaken. Do you and is it a 'full' erection?

3) Are there non-physical problems bothering you? (e.g. stress from school or work, relationship problems) Are you no longer interested in your partner?

Being that you are so young, you should go see a doctor to make sure there is no hormonal problem. It would be bad to have, say, insufficient testosterone while you are developing. (Just ask PHilippine Mango)

Have you had a physical exam recently for school sports, etc? If you did, a doctor should also have examined your testicles to make sure they look and feel normal.

One more thing:
Don't use the DEATH GRIP.

:p

Stress is a huge factor, I know ;)
Also thinking and dwelling on it at times you should be thinking of other things, like in the mood and you pop the problem in your head, sets you up mentally and can easily cause the problem.

I would say if you keep your mind on other things and try to get that thought out of your mind you may get rid of the problem you having all together. Think and focus on other things and not have the thought in the middle of sex or foreplay and go "Oh gees its it going to conk out on me again"? You doing that will surly set you and who your with for disappointment. Instead just think of the moment, and maybe not try to do it as often. Give it a months rest, you will be so ready to go for it you won't think of anything else at all ;)
Other then that may want to see a doctor on this, but Im betting its mental at your young age.

You better go get your blood tested to be sure you are not diabetic.

Costanza had the ED issues.....he ended up eating some Mango that Kramer gave him and he was "BACK BABY!!!"

Maybe you aren't getting enough vitamins?


P.S.--You might want to consider the fact that you're still a teenager. You may be continuing to develop, etc... Hormonal changes at your age can trigger all kinds of stuff. What I'm saying is that your body's hormone levels revolve around when you eat and sleep. If you take into account all of this stuff, it may be a timing issue on when your hormone levels are lower, thus affecting the gear. This is one of the reasons you hear about guys getting morning wood....it's triggered by time of day/hormone levels, not particularly dreams or thoughts.

The same partner.

That's probably part of the problem.

not at all. I've been having sex with the same partner for 4+ years and that hasnt affected me in any way.

OP, how often are you trying to get it up? How often were you having sex when you were able to get it up properly? I dont see my gf often (only on the weekends because of our work schedules) so when we get a chance to be together for more than couple days at a time, such as a week long vacation, we have sex like rabbits...like 2-3 times a day. But towards the end of the trip I find myself exhausted and even though I can get it up, it's not as strong of an erection as it is toward the beginning of the week. You might just be overworking it. Try taking it easy for a little bit...ie no ejaculation for a week or so and see how it goes with your partner.

I have been on summer holidays for basically the past 2 months and I still have another four weeks to go (I live in Australia) so when I eat meals is all messed up, I usually miss breakfast and what I eat for the rest of the day probably isn't very healthy but it is the kind of stuff that I have been eating for years. I don't think it is anxiety because it is holidays and I am just taking it easy. My girlfriend thinks that it is her fault but we have been together for a while so I will try to talk to her about this.

1. Nope
2. Not since this has been happening
3. No work or school and I am still into my girlfriend.

My girlfriend and I both live in small towns that are a decent distance apart so we only used to be able have sex maybe 3 days every 2 weeks and would do it 4-5 times a day but now that it is the holidays she is staying over about 5 days a week so we had been doing it 3-4 times a day.

Thanks for all the help and suggestions guys. I am pretty surprised by how nice everyone has been.

Could've saved us a lot of trouble if you'd only included that in your O.P. :p Now that the serious discussion is over, pic?

For real.

I'm sorry, but I don't think the OP should be HAVING sex if he couldn't figure out this out on his own. C'mon now...if you're fvcking 4-5 times per day everyday you're going to wear yourself out, your "little" guy is exhausted man!

Besides that...you juicin?
