on any medication, any added stress in your life the last year. and with that have you had a complete check up by your doctor as to possible problems with this.

how is that normal? I would rather not take any pharmacuetical drugs. is there any more natural alterantive? has anyone heard of that maca plant or maybe changing my diet.

i am not on any medication and no real stress problems in the last year.

i have a girlfriend and we love having sex but this has been an issue before.

thank you for the replies

hmmm interesting well i would say to get wiht your girlfriend and play a lil before having intercourse. If you pleasure her or do a lil 69 think about only her body and nothing of your problem. Maybe the fatc that in your mnd its possible it not lasting long becuz your thinkning about it. So i would say have a nice of play do kinky things and damn if it dont help then i would suggest you have a physical and let your doctor know whats going on...sorry i tryed lol

What has changed lately?

I think you probably know what triggered this bout of impotence but don't want to think about it too much.

What do you think the reason is?

Are you getting pressure from your girlfriend for some reason, like getting married?
Are you a frequent viewer of porn?
Do you find that regular sexual contact isn't very exciting, want to up the ante?
Thinking homosexual thoughts?
Something else altogether?

What's distracting you?

I'm sorry but I have to respond-WHY is it that sooo many people think the answer is in the form of a pill or cream etc. etc. I said it is normal-the stiffness changes over time, the wetness(of a vagina) changes over time, hormonal/physical/mental changes day to day- why does there have to be a cut and dried answer to some problems??

sometimes we/scientists/clergy don't know why YOU have a soft penis...only YOU can answer that as you have all the information in your head..
it's called life, people.

i always to alot of foreplay before i have sex to build up the tension and it makes things alot more fun, but that dosnt seem to work. i gets hard just not all the way.

nothing has really changed recently, no homosexual thoughts, no stress, i do look at porn and have tried not looking at it for awhile but it didn't help.

i wasn't looking for the answer in the form of a pill or cream. i simply asked people the would know more about this subject than me.

i dont even get erections throught out the day or in the morning like i used to quite frequently.

once again thank you for everybodies input. it is greatly appriciated.

You might want to have the doctor check your thyroid. I had this problem and finally figured out that my immune system was attacking my thyroid gland.
