[trumpet]

Hi everyone here. I am 25 years old and started to realize that I seem to have a weaker erection lately , I cannot seem to get as hard or as big as I used to about a year or so ago. I dont know why this is happening to me but it makes me really depressed. Any suggestions please ???

There could be many reasons why you cannot acheive & maintain an erection. Such as fitness, smoking, poor diet, stress and underlying health problems which only your GP can could comment on.

I suggest you visit your local Doctor and get some tests done, if it comes back that your healthy it could just be your lifestyle. You could always look online after youve visited your Doctor for Viagra Specialists..

hi, I m 28 and experience low libido and weak erections. I feel really embarassed because my erection is not hard enough to penetrate. I think the problem might be due to anxiety and depression because i seem to have symptoms of depression. I was told that I need to see a doctor but can they really do anything about it? I could take medicine for depression but will this alone restore my erections and libido ???

It's quite natural to have erectile dysfunction occasionally due to anxiety or depression. You might get bored of sexual routine, or need to have variance in sexual intercourse (maybe changing position can help in this case). You could be bored with your partner's performance, or your sex position causing problems in getting aroused, but your problem seems physical rather than mental.

There could be many reasons for that. Are you diabetic? When you are able to get an erection, does it get rock hard like it did before, or is it just moderately hard? Are you on any medication? Disease can effect the nerves and blood vessels of the penis, which can diminish your ability to obtain or keep an erection.

See your GP and rule out all physical causes first, and if there are none, then you need to analyze the possible psychological causes. If it's mental, you may need to change your position, sexual activity, routine, etc.

Libido is controlled by the pituitary gland which, continually checks the level of circulating testosterone and all your other hormones, eg thyroid, adrenaline etc. With insufficient amounts of circulating and bound testosterone, you are not very likely to have erections or any desire for sexual activity.

But how do we know if it is a case of low libido or erectile dysfunction??? I reckon these are pretty different and treatment of each one would be different as well.

Male impotence or erectile dysfunction are way different from low libido. Remember sometimes it is the anxiety and pressure that prevents you from getting erection or causing you to lose it... anyway, viagra works wonders if you are having ed. i took it once or twice and after that my confidence was back and i don't need it anymore. Viagra saved my love life mates !!!!

Yea low libido is a different problem and its treatment is different as well.

ED is often caused by blood flow issues, and is often a sign that a man has an underlying medical condition such as diabetes etc. In many cases, exercise and diet can help. Drugs such as viagra, cialis or levitra can override it by increasing blood flow, but the healthier solution is to lose weight and get fit. It can also be due to nervous system, emotional or hormonal issues. Premature ejaculation however usually is a psychological issue, where performance fears cause a man to compensate by ejaculation quickly before he has ED.
