Posted on Mon, 28 Dec 2015

Question: Hi,

I masterbated last week Friday after next day I felt natural erections.

After two days I don't see any natural erections and tried to erect myself with hand got hardly mild erections.

Sometimes I was naked myself and feel that I was doing sex with a girl on bed and see good erections.

All about my concern is will I get my natural elections back.

Is this cause Ed?

I am male 31 and I don't smoke and drink.

Brief Answer:
Not getting erection is due to anxiety

Hello
Thanks for query .

Normally you get good hard erection but unable to achieve erection at times especially after masturbating frequently .

This is not due to any organic cause but mainly due to what is called as Performance Anxiety .

Consult qualified Psychiatrist for counselling This will help you to allay your anxiety .
