Erectile problems due to lack of sleep?

I probably would need advice from someone who has a lot of medical knowledge but what the heck: when I'm very tired, I sometimes struggle to keep an erection. As it's worse when I'm actually with someone and I tend to get a lot more nervous than usual when tired, it's hard to see the cause.

Can lack of sleep really be blamed for erection problems?

Another thing: I sometimes get bad stomach/digestive discomfort which when bad, makes it more difficult to get an erection. When the discomfort actually goes (by going to the loo for example :redface: ), I find it a lot easier all of a sudden.

Can someone knowledgeable help me here and explain this? :frown:

You are lucky i'm in today... yes lack of sleep makes it harder to get an erection... Being nervous also make it harder...

So what is your problem?... just don't be tired or nervous...

It isn't brain surgery old chap!

Or not as the case may be. :p:
Haha... Most of these people are jealous of Indus. Real Talk.

Anyway, yes, a lack of sleep will affect your erection, and so will your nerves. Calm down, chill... Life ain't that serious.
