May be he feels lazy for doing proper sex.his excitment may be finishing in foreplay only.talk to him

Are you using condoms? Do they fit well? Does he abuse any substances? Alcohol? Tobacco? Weed? Etc? How is he for stress/exhaustion?

Seeing a doctor for ED at his age would be a daunting thing. How pushy have you been with that?

I assume he finds you attractive? What reason has he given for his flaccidity?

How old are you?

At what point does he lose his erection?

There are a lot of things that can cause this problem.

It could be a mental block from concerns about a possible pregnancy.

If he is stopping to put on a condom, he may not be staying stimulated enough.

If he masturbates a lot, intercourse may not be giving him the physical stimulation he needs.

If he is concentrating more on pleasing you than just enjoying the sensations, he be distracting himself.

Pressure to perform may also be adding to the problem. Not just from you (even if you don't mean to apply pressure), but from himself.

As Craven asked, have you discussed the issues? Listening to him as well as trying to help him determine what the cause might be.

How much porn does he watch daily?

Have you ASKED him what the problem is?

How experienced is he?
He could be having issues with not performing well.
Stress and anxiety are erection killers and he
May be subject to them for various reasons.

Always the best thing you can do is communicate.
Talk to him about it.

I'm 20 and no he uses no drugs doesn't smoke and barely drinks. We where trying with condoms and it never worked so I got a depot injection! I tried to get him to see a doctor and he said he can't, he's not comfortable with the idea. As far as I know he doesn't masterbate a lot and doesn't watch porn. I try talk about it and recently he's saying he's just tired which I feel is just an excuse. I've given up trying to push it anymore as I don't want to pressure him about it.

Low pressure is a good idea , but don't give up.
Since you said you've not had "proper sex" since you have been
Together , this is not just going to go away and stands a good
Chance of becoming much more of a problem.

Keep the communication going whenever you can.
I still suspect he may have performance anxiety
Are you familiar with each others sexual past?
(which is usually a tough and mostly unnecessary subject.
It can cause many problems , but may be a clue to the present)
This could be related to a past relationship.

Being tired does not last for a year.....usually.

We've discussed the past not in that much detail and as far as I know he has had a similar problem previously but not as bad! Also I am his longest girlfriend so I probably wouldn't have been a huge problem! I find myself feeling unwanted unloved and unattractive and I often end up crying! I really appreciate all the comments as all my close friends are also friends with him and it wouldn't be fair on him.
