Loss of libido and Erection problems - Im only 31 for Pete's sake! Please help.

Sex Problems for Men

Hi,

I'm a healthy 31 year old. I have a new partner who I find really attractive. However, to my horror, on 2 or 3 occasions now I've not been able to get an erection with her. Sometimes, I can get an erection, but it is not particularly hard or lasts very long. I do admit to having drunk heavily in the past - but no more than most men. I have also been depressed and anxious in recent months and have taken anti-depressants ans beta-blockers over quite a long period prior to this relationship. However, I had not taken anything or even drunk alcohol for weeks prior to the problems. To put it in context, I have not suffered this kind of problem in the past.

In desperation, I bought some generic Viagra on the net (Kamagra). Which seems to do the trick. But even then, I notice my erection goes soft really really fast?!?! It used to be some time before I could even urinate after ejaculation but now its no time at all. In short, Im worried. I think its probably mainly psychological but im thinking maybe there is something physical. I am a fit guy who eats healthily. My one concern is I had a dull ache in my right testicle for some months a while back. This is gone now but I wonder if there is something wrong.

Im thinking of facing the music and going to my GP. I've heard Cialis is very very good.

Any words of comfort or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks !

Probably Psychological

You are probably right about it being psychological, but see ypour gp as a first step. Beta blockers and antidepressants can have a bad efect on erections, even more so than the depression they are trying to treat!

The trouble with a loss of erection is that it plays on your mind and worries you so that it inevitably happens again. It is called performance pressure.

You may benefit from an assessment from a therapist in due course, as there could be things in your background making you vulnerable to this sort of thing.

Cialis is very good too.
