Hi, I'm a 19 year old male, I workout 4 times a week, and I eat a fairly healthy diet. I dont eat  greesy foods and no pop and I am in really good shape. I take no medications, but i do take protein powder before and after I workout, a muti vitamin and 900 mg of omega-3  in the morning, creatine after I workout, and ZMA supplement before bed. The creatine and ZMA I cycle one month on and two months off, just to be safe. I also talked with my doctor and he said these were all fine products to take.Even though I am very healthy, for about the last year and a half I have been experiencing a problem with my erections. I have no problem getting an erection and I can maintain it as long as I am recieving stimulation, but as soon as I stop recieving stimulation I lose my erection. It doesnt matter what kind of stimulation either, if im masterbating and stop the stimulation the erection goes away and if I am with my girlfriend and stop recieving stimulation the erection goes away. I have been with my girlfriend for two years now, and we just bacame sexully active about a month ago, when she turned 18. During intercourse I maintain an erection the whole time. Even before we had sex and she would do things like give me blow jobs and hand jobs I would still have an erection unless she stoped and it would go away as soon as my dick didnt recieve stimulation. I know this isn't a relationship problem because I am very attracted to her and love her very much. I also know it isnt performance anxiety because I have the same problem when I masterbate, and it happens everytime, with my girlfriend and when I'm alone, and I don't feel nervous either, I am just frustrated with this problem. I never have a problem reaching orgasm, or staying hard while recieving stimulation, so I'm not sure I have erectile dysfunction or something else. I used to masterbate about once everyday, until about 4 months ago when I decided that masterbation could be apart of the problem. I also used to watch porn when I would masterbate but i stoped watching porn when I decided to masterbate less. I orginally thought porn could be apart of the problem, because up until about 4 months ago I would watch it everyday. Up until about four months ago I watched porn everyday and that had gone on for about a year, previous to that, I would only watch porn about 2-3 times a week, and would only masterbate when I watched porn. The problem did occur after I started watching porn and that is what made me think porn was the problem, but now I havent watched porn for 4 months and I still have this problem. Currently I watch no porn, have a very heathy diet/ lifestyle, I have sex about twice a week and masterbate 0-1 times a week. I also have a wonderful girlfriend and a wonderful relationship except for this problem. We talked about the problem and she doesnt seem to mind giving me constant stimulation, but I just want to be better for her, and I hate that I have this problem. I also never smoke or drink and have done everything I can, short of herbs or sex pills and other devices, to figure out and fix my problem but nothing has worked. Can you please help me fix this permanantly, I just want to be like my old self
Hello, You are just 19 and do not start worrying about ED now itself. From the explanation itself, it seems that your ED is due to psychological stress. I suggest counseling for you. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. K. V. Anand, Psychologist
