17 Years Old, Erection Problems ?! HELP

[Sean Silver]

Hi there,
I've been sexually active since I was 14, and every once in a while I have a hard time ... getting hard. Twice when I was with new people (not in a relationship), just hooking up, I couldn't get hard. When i was with my significant other for two years, most of the time I was fine, but once again every once in a while I couldn't stay hard. I've been seeing someone new, and today we hooked up and I couldn't get hard and it was really embarrassing. I masturbate 7-10 times weekly, sometimes more. I've been really stressed the past few months, and I'm really nervous with new people because I'm very self critical and want to do my absolute best to make sure they have a great experience. I'm hoping I don't have a serious problem, but I really don't want to be diagnosed with Erectile Disfunction at 17 years old. Anyone else have a similar experience? If so, do you know of any remedies or anything I can do to help it? I'm going to give up masturbation for a while and see if that works. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Thank you.
-Sean

Maybe it's like a slight case ED. Not sure what else it could be

[Sean Silver]

I read online it could be stress related

In my most recent case, it wasn't in an ideal environment, it was kind of rushed and I wanted to take things slower.... maybe this has something to do with it?

[clarksonian]

It could just be your brain preventing it due to deeper desires

Don't sweat it. I think you are putting too much pressure on yourself!

[Catholic Guy]

I think it's just stress, maybe cut back on the masturbating as well, I'm sure it's nothing to worry about!

Online is the last place to seek for help so therefore I'm going to say you should see a doctor if you think something is wrong.

Thanks guys I hope so

yeah i think that it could just be that you're putting so much pressure on yourself, and it sounds stress related. if it becomes a serious problem then you should talk to your doctor about it. try not to get even more stressed because of it though, that would just be counterproductive lol.

You've answered your own question already, Sean. You said "I masturbate 7-10 times weekly, sometimes more. I've been really stressed the past few months, and I'm really nervous with new people because I'm very self critical and want to do my absolute best to make sure they have a great experience."

Masturbating at least 7 times every week PROVES you DON'T have erectile dysfunction.

Being stressed the past few months, AND being nervous with new people, AND worrying about doing your absolute best, any ONE of these can sure mess up trying to get erections with new girlfriends. And you've got ALL 3 worries!

Why are you so self-critical? Talk to your school chaplain about it.

Also, WHY have ya been stressed the last few months? Talk to someone about whatever those problems are.

AANNDD, stop trying to be the best sex partner of all. Why is that so important to you? Why not give yerself more time to get to know your partner better, b4 rushing into sex.

Relax n take it easy on yourself. Let it be fun like its suppose to be. I think its called performance anxiety. Just guessin tho. Talk to your doc about it. It's what they're for.

sounds like you broke it. we each get 4,212,800 orgasms per lifetime. I think you used up all of yours.
either that or everyone else is right and all the stress your putting on yourself is killing your bone. it prolly doesn't help that your doing it in places that you need to rush to finish and that the atmosphere isn't right and everything. instead of saying "I have to have sex so i need to bone up!" go with the attitude of "oooh, I'm boned up so let's have sex"

it could be a couple of things, it could be stress, it could be boredom with the same person, or nervousness with new people... you might want to j/o a little less, let a little tension build up... but yeah its bad when that happens, because then that is all that you think/worry about, and it keeps on happening, you just gotta relax and let it happen.

[klhohman16]

its probably just because your are stressed. when put up with a situation that you cant get hard take a deep breath and relax and then think of something that usually gets you off when you are masturbating. try to see if that helps! ;)

If you masturbate a lot it can make it difficult to get an erection towards the end of the week. Try cutting down jacking off to every other day and decrease if you are still having issues. If that doesn't work, next time you have a doctors appointment, ask your doctor about it.
