Erectile Dysfunction at 19?

[breatheH20]

Hi there,
I've recently had and still have trouble getting an erection. This has been going on for a solid week now and i'm embarrassed and ashamed. A couple days ago, I met up with an old friend, and after the night was over we were starting to have sex, but no matter what was done, I could not get hard at all. It was really bad, I have felt bad ever since.
Then, last night I tried "rubbing myself the right way" and after 30 mins, there was nothing, no matter what I thought of.

Up until this last week, I had no problems at all, masturbating about 2 to 3 times a daiy or so, and then I just kind of took a break. What the hell is wrong with me? This is the one thing I thought would never happen to me, at least not until I was much older. In fact, I've joke numerous about having the ability to almost always have an erection for whatever reason. This is really depressing for me, I feel awful.

I've talked to a couple of my friends, and they think maybe I'm just stressed or maybe my conscience is playing tricks on me, since the guy I was with the other day was not my boyfriend of 1 year. I have no idea. Are there some health habits that could have contributed to this?
Any replies would be greatly appreciated.

Take your focus off masturbation. It's all a matter of mind over matter. When you matter much over something that really doesn't matter, then the matter becomes more a matter of perception than anything that matters. Taking a rest from the predictable, also saves on Kleenex and reduces your outgoings

Don't worry it will all be right, when your worries stop imposing their restraints on your sexual fantasies. When we worry, then worry takes control and the limp dick becomes our excuse for feigning a limp prick.

I tend to agree that it is probably psychological.

Do you have an erection when you wake up in the morning still? (at least on occasion). If so, then it is psychological. Relax, the stress is messing with you I think. If it continues for a while, I'd see a doctor but it would be kind of rare to have a physical problem come on so suddenly.

I agree with the other two posters. Psychological. You are stressed about other things and being stressed that you may have a "problem" is only adding to it. We all go through periods like this at one time or another. Before I finished school I would stress over exams and it was impossible for me to even get horny, never mind an erection! Get your mind off of it. Forget about masturbation for awhile. Your body will let you know when you are back on course. If this does happen to go on for an extended period then I would suggest you consult with your doctor...but I doubt it will come to that.

I guess it is Psychological. I have been stressed a lot, from what I'm not entirely sure since I'm on break from school and work, and I should be relaxing. I did manage to get somewhat of an erection when I woke up this morning, so hopefully it isn't anything physical or serious. It just sucks! And the fact that this is happening is adding to whatever stress is bothering me right now. Oh well, I just hope this won't last a long time, better be over by the end of the new year lol.

*sigh*.. Thanks again for all the replies

I guess you didn't knock on wood when you said that.

I kid, but I have had the same periods. Just wait it out (I would say a week to two weeks) and if nothing has happened (no morning wood, no erection when watching porn) you should talk to a doctor about it.

I have weeks where I don't get an erection and don't feel like masturbating. I guess it's my body's way of telling me to let the reserves refill before I go spouting it everywhere.

Good luck. I'm sure it's nothing.

People who wait too long can end up with permentant damage. I think it is always best to be Safe rather than Sorry ...
If you go a week and still have the E/D .. you need to get Help immediately to avoid any potential permenant damage ..

Wait for what? To masturbate? If so, I disagree... you don't get permanent damage by not getting off for a long period of time.

Since you had morning wood, I wouldn't worry too much. It's not ED if you still can get an erection. So just relax.... it'll come back.

All good posts, no worries just that at 19 how can you help but worry right? Just let it go and you'll see, it will be all hard and nice and ready to cum, oh and send us pix.

The christmas season can cause all kinds of stress with people and it can strike in many different ways. Probably just the time of year and nothing to worry about. The more you worry about it the more it will happen.
Chill out, see what happens when you get together with your bf again.

 

[gabriel1]

just take it easy don't wank fora week or so, If you're getting woodies you're ok... it happens

 

[breatheH20]

Yeah, when I'm back with the boyfriend .. haha, not like the other day... But yeah, I just woke back up and had one, so I guess it's ok if I'm still getting them. I was just worried as hell.. I mean I'm 19, I got plenty of fight left in me lol..

I do know of some meds that the side effect will cause that.

Are you one any meds? if so check the side effects.

 

[breatheH20]

The only thing I've taken recently was an antibiotic, which I don't think would affect anything. I do however remember the last day I had a raging hard-on was right before I had some 420 action going on. After that, I haven't been able to, but I doubt that's a reason.

FWIW, long term marijuana use can decrease sex drive and lead to ED. Not that I think that's what's going on here, but just something to keep in mind.

Must you swallow everything your american administration feeds you?
P L E A S E, you are just too funny.

 

[drhladnjak]

American administration? I've known enough potheads in my lifetime to see what that substance can do to motivation, sexually and otherwise. If you poke around, I'm pretty sure you can find research in peer reviewed journals substantiating this. Not everything is a gov't conspiracy.

 

[VICTORIADON]

If you poke around

Yes, I "poke" around, and I have smoked a hell of alot of pot in my time, thank you very much.

 

[jockboy01]

What drhladnjak says about pot is true. That doesn't mean it happens to every single person who smokes it... just that it is a known and well documented side effect of marijuana use.

 

[VICTORIADON]

Safe discussion, sorry. Overuse of any stimulant or depressant can be a factor in sexual activity.
However, if you go back and look at the original question, pot is not a factor in this discussion, at least not that was mentioned.
