My ex-girlfriend's best friend's boyfriend suffered from that. Don't ask me why that was something they needed to share?!

I know it's not 'normal normal' but I don't think it's uncommon, it's just that, as it appears here, few are willing to admit to it.

To be honest I'd have no clue what to do about it, perhaps because it's such a taboo subject. But it must happen to a lot of guys and I'm sure there is something you can do. If you can't go to your doctor or sexual health clinic about it, I'm sure there are websites with information and advice about it somewhere on this great big interweb.

And why wouldnt a guy like to admit it? Dont be so stereotypical. For one this is an anonymous forum and two its a common problem.
I'm a virgin and whilst masturbating I have never had this problem.
Moi too. Although it depends on the setting and how horny im feelin 2 lol!
Maybe with a condom. You can't feel anything. Bang mine in a car door with a condom on and I won't feel a thing.

I'll be brave here and say yeah, although we haven't gone the horizontal mile (yet?)

Just sometimes I have trouble, think its cos I'm worrying about whether she's enjoying herself, what she thinks of me etc. It comes and it goes, it's not a MAJOR problem, but I'm slightly not happy about it hehe.

I think its just nerves, once you get over that its okay, you should be back to normal wood-wise.

It comes and it goes

That's normal. :p:

(Sorry!)

Never had the problem myself, but I know of a guy or two to whom it has. Condoms (fumbling around to get them on and then being worried because it's going floppy and a whole nervous cycle) and alcohol seem to be downers (as it were).

Haven't had the heart to tell her, but she'll probably read this...hehe.

He's not being immature. It is something of a taboo subject, quite likely to do (in part at the very least) with this (read 3a)
Yes, in some people's minds, that is what it would imply...

Viagra springs to mind :rolleyes:
How about seeing your doctor??

Erections are more annoying than anything really.

Hi guys, do some of you find it hard to maintain an erection while making love?


I'm a guy!

Any guy who's been with a girl and actually cared about what she thinks, has become worried or nervous. Some people tend to be more nervous than others. Girls might worry a lot about sex and think that all the worrying is just for girls but it's guys whom so much pressure is put on! We have to "perform" and there's a lot more demand for performance. So it's normal that things like this happen if you're nervous. At least the girl will know that you're worried and care. You could just see her as a way of getting your rocks off. In that case, no pressure because you wouldn't even care what she thinks :rolleyes:

One girlfriend I'd been with for just one day invited me other, whipped her clothes off and asked me if I'd join her in the shower. :rolleyes: (there's a bit of very personal info)

Some people are just comfortable in those kinds of situations, others aren't.
When I first got in a relationship I could get it up ok, but I was so anxious I didn't climax for a few weeks. I've had problems maintaining erections only when drunk or immediately after masturbation.

I'd suggest not masturbating for a while and steering well clear of alcohol and don't be nervous. Communication is everything in the bedroom.
