Hi, it remains senseless and feels like a piece of rubber. It doesn't get aroused automatically when for example I sleep with my wife. There is urge of sex but since it's senseless am avoiding.
I was sexually very active but since two weeks my penis has become senseless. Haven't masturbated since 10 days but I checked yesterday it became erected during that time and then imdtly again senseless.

Brief Answer:
You have Secondary Erectile Dysfunction .

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for feedback .
Based on what you have stated I would state that you have secondary Erectile Dysfunction .

It is common and known fact that every individual at some time or other faces this problem of secondary erectile dysfunction in his sexual life and it is mainly due to some stress factor of which one is not even aware of or may be due to some stress at work place or constrained relationship in family life .

Most of the time it gets resolved of its own over a period of time and does not need any active intervention.

You ca discuss the issue with your wife and consult qualified Psychiatrist for counselling .

Taking Sildenafil (Viagra)as on demand will help to get good hard sustainable erection and to have enjoyable sex.

Hope I have answered your query ,please feel free to ask if you have more questions , I shall be happy to help you .
Thanks and Regards.
Dr.Patil.
