Hello dear,

Regarding the problem of Erectile dysfunction, it is either due to decreased blood supply to the penis or due to stress & anxiety.
Connections between erectile dysfunction & excess use of porn has been reported in many studies.
For those affected, recovery takes place by 6-12 weeks & mainly involves avoiding the causative factor, that is watching porn.

The reasons for difficulty in maintaining erection can be many such as Hypertension, Diabetes mellitus, Atherosclerosis of the arteries, Neurological problems, Chronic illness, Prolonged intake of drugs, Stress, Smoking, Alcohol, etc.
So, investigations like Complete blood count, estimation of blood pressure & blood sugar levels, lipid profile will be helpful in this regard.

Other than that, you need to make certain modifications in your diet & lifestyle:
1. Have a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, fish, nuts & honey.
2. Avoid fast foods & lipid containing diet.
3. Avoid smoking & alcohol
4. Keep away stress, think positive.
5. Exercise regularly & practice meditation

Wishing you a good health.
Take care.

hi,
don't be stressed due to breakup. you can do meditation to relax, watch something which is interesting to you. watch porn, enjoy. be calm. may be you are missing her intimacy. try to recollect joyful moments. if you are desperate, you can get the sildenafil (viagra) to boost your confidence once or twice.
if there is no chance of healing break up, search new girl friend.

wishing you good health.

Hi
your problem is surely due to breakup with your gf. Stress is extemely dangerous for sexual functioning . You are unable to get erection because your mind is full of thoughts of loss of your GF and feeling insecure . You get erection when you feel relaxed and focus on the feelings of pleasure by whatever means . You may arouse yourself as in masturbation or by your partner as during intercourse. The crux is focussing on the sensations which is not possible .
Time is the biggest healer and one learns from every misfortune so with time and after you resettle, you should be fine

GOOD LUCK

Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
At 27 years age, breaking up with a girl friend is enough stress causing and psychologically demotivating. The reason for your inability have a sustained erection is in your mind. You must come out of the break up situation as early as possible. You can make new friends, go on short trips, indulge in your favorite pass time. These activities will unblock and free your mind.

It is possible that you were very much attached with your girl friend. Whatever the reason of your break up, try and get a new social life. Try not to think of your ex and avoid any activity which brings back memories.

You must take your mind away from your sexual anxiety too. Do not worry, things will normalize soon. You are very much healthy, its only that your mind is not prepared to accept the situation of losing a trusted partner.

Hope this helps.
