27 Year Old Having Difficulty In Getting Erection. Need Help
I am 27 year old guy. I am active, in good shape, proper diet (Vegetarian diet) and good physique but I am having issue with my erection. I masturbated a lot since I was young. I don't have frequent erections and I have tough time keep an erection for more than a minute or two without stimulating it constantly. I am having tough time with my partner as my erection are not hard enough for intercourse or my penis softens up while having intercourse.
I am worried as my confidence is going down and although my partner is supportive but its tough not to satisfy her.

Hello dear,
First of all remove all myths & misconceptions from your mind about masturbation.
In fact, Masturbation is completely normal & doesn't have any bad effect to the body and mind.
Regarding the problem of Erectile dysfunction, it is due to decreased blood supply to the penis.
The reason for erectile difficulty at your age is likely to be inadequate stimulation or the sense of anxiety to satisfy your partner.
There are medications that increase blood flow to penis & maintains erection.
Performance can be improved by having a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, fish, nuts & honey.
Avoid stress...practice meditation..this helps in improving concentration & builds up the confidence level.
Avoid smoking & alcohol.
You can also do oil massage of the penis...it increases blood flow & maintains the erection.
Despite these measures, if you experience difficulty, it will be better to rule out other causes like high blood pressure, blood sugar and other local causes that impair blood flow to the genital organ.
Wishing you a good health.
Take care.
