The causes of erectile dysfunction may be physiological or psychological. Psychological impotence can often be helped by almost anything that the patient believes in; there is a very strong placebo effect.\nDue to its embarrassing nature and the shame felt by sufferers, the subject was taboo for a long time, and is the subject of many urban legends. Folk remedies have long been advocated, with some being advertised widely since the 1930s. The introduction of perhaps the first pharmacologically effective remedy for impotence, sildenafil (trade name Viagra), in the 1990s caused a wave of public attention, propelled in part by the news-worthiness of stories about it and heavy advertising.\n\nThe Latin term impotentia coeundi describes simple inability to insert the penis into the vagina. It is now mostly replaced by more precise terms.\n\nMedical symptoms\n\nErectile dysfunction is characterized by the inability to maintain an erection. Normal erections during sleep and in the early morning suggest a psychogenic cause, while loss of these erections may signify underlying disease, often cardiovascular in origin. Other factors leading to erectile dysfunction are diabetes mellitus (causing neuropathy) or hypogonadism (decreased testosterone levels due to disease affecting the testicles or the pituitary gland).\nA wide variety of options exist for treating erectile dysfunction. They include everything from medications and simple mechanical devices to surgery and psychological counseling. The cause and severity of your condition are important factors in determining the best treatment or combination of treatments for you. \nUncontroversial treatments\n\nPDE5 Inhibitors\nThe prescription PDE5 inhibitors sildenafil (Viagra®), vardenafil (Levitra®) and tadalafil (Cialis®) are prescription drugs which are taken orally. They work by blocking the action of PDE5, which causes cGMP to degrade. cGMP causes the smooth muscle of the arteries in the penis to relax, allowing the corpus cavernosum to fill with blood.\n\n* Sildenafil (Viagra)\n* Tadalafil (Cialis)\n* Vardenafil (Levitra)\n\nThe Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Viagra in 1998, and it became the first oral medication for erectile dysfunction on the market. Since then, doctors have written millions of prescriptions for the blue, diamond-shaped tablets. But Viagra is no longer the only pill that treats this condition. Levitra and Cialis are two other options.\n\nViagra, Levitra and Cialis work in much the same way. Chemically known as phosphodiesterase inhibitors, these drugs enhance the effects of nitric oxide, a chemical messenger that relaxes smooth muscles in the penis. This increases the amount of blood and allows a natural sequence to occur — an erection in response to sexual stimulation. These medications don't automatically produce an erection. Instead they allow an erection to occur after physical and psychological stimulation. Many men experience improvement in erectile function after taking these medications regardless of the cause of their impotence.

I believe that Mild ED is caused due to "sexual rush". As I man I can tell you that the best way is for your partner (a woman in my case) to take it easy and do not rush me into having an erection as soon as she gets undressed. Conversation should be kept a a minimal, unless is related to the beauty of your partner's body and sexyness. A woman should help the man by being as sensual as posible and softly caressing him (the man should do the same to her!)... You'll see!!!... patience has its rewards and then .... a long lasting erection...!!!!!!!!

i know someone that is in the exact same situation as you and it sucks for her too. since getting pregnant is his big worry -tell him you are getting on birth control -if there is no sex after getting on birth control -there is obviuosly something else wrong-my friend's husband had to start using viagra after getting off drugs -because drugs messed up his sex drive and it took her forever to get that he had a problem with a erection for months-becuase it was embarrsing to him -all you can do is ask and if that still does not work you should find someone who wants to give it up to you

You need to strengthen the Kegal muscle. It is done by tightening muscles in your lower abd. When you have an erection if you can move your penis up and down with out touching it, or if you can stop the flow of urine then you are doing it right. Not just females need to strengthen that muscle. Then it should get easier to stop and start. If you still have a problem then you might want to see a doctor

if you're really worried then the best thing would be to consult a doctor.  There's sexual health clinics if you don't want to go to your gp.  There's nothing much unusal about the difference in size between an erect penis and a flaccid one.  The size can vary quite dramatically, just as it can if you're cold.  Doesn't mean there's anything wrong with it.  it just means the blood vessels have contracted.  When you're aroused the vessels dilate to fill and enlange the penis so it's ready for intercourse.  Too much masturbation can be a problem if your body then becomes accustomed to being arroused but that's only in excessive cases.  The blood vessels can become strained (a bit like an elastic band)so that might be why you can't get it to 'stand without a hand'.  Just take things easy and give yourself time to heal and maybe not masturbate quite so frequently.

U 48, I think this is one of the reason cause this. More and more older , men will get soft erection.It's hard for men to keep it stiff forever. So u don't worried about it so much provided that u can still have sex and come .\nHowever , the stress life will effect this prolem, Do u work so hard and not relax? The work, family, boss... are not like u want?\nTalk to yr wife, u and her will find the way to improve it. and i know she know the ways to make u feel like before

Well....your doctor probably would not prescribe you Viagra as you do not have a medical problem. Just don't do it as much, and "presto" you should get back your libido in no time. So take a break with that, why don't cha :)

a lot of men suffer from erectile dysfunction which can be caused by a lot of things such as a medication used to treat high blood pressure and diabetes. Try research on a website called webmd. Rule out any medical conditions before you take the situation personally. And then too, even after you rule out medical conditions, you might also look at his current lifestyle such as was mentioned. Drugs and/or stress could also contribute to his problem----Good luck

How old are you? Have you reached puberty? If you have, I think you should talk to your doctor. \nI don't think there is such a thing as a "good" erection. I think that if you have an erection you can probably ejaculate, unless your body does not produce sperm. \nBut really, talk to your doctor.

Get your diabetes under control if it isn't. Some of the erectile dysfunction medications might be helpful, like  viagra. I don't suggest taking herbal supplements that claim to help this problem. The concentration of the active ingredient can greatly vary as they are not regulated much so you don't know just how much you are getting. They can also interact with any Rx medication you may take. You really need to see a dr about this.I know its embarrassing to talk face to face about this issue but its nothing to be ashamed of,its very common,especially with men who have diabetes or high blood pressure.. Believe me, its nothing that the dr hasn't seen or heard before. No need to suffer in silence. Good luck to you.

Obviously he is very aroused and it does take a little bit sometimes if he is really aroused for his penis to calm down and soften. I have seen it before. If the erection remains for a very long period of time like I think over a few hours it becomes a problem, if not no probs.

sounds like a question I had in high school always fearing an erection at the wrong time.  two simple words will help you though most obsessive thoughts, f**k it ( not literally in this sense but you know what I mean)

This is COMMON at your age -- there are pills for it.\n\nYour doctor may have other questions or tests, just to see that the cardiovascular system is working right.\n\nNone of this will prove to be scary unless your erectile problem is caused by one of the rare (at your age) life-threatening problems, in which case the diagnosis will be a lifesaver.\n\nSo do it.

Viagra! I'm 65 and a few years ago found I was having a bit of a problem maintaining erections during intercourse. No problems with masturbation or receiving oral sex because you don't need a full erection of either. Viagra did the trick and I have no problems getting or maintaining erections now. My girlfriend and I are both happy! Nothing to be ashamed about...a very common situation for guys as they get older. A couple of other drugs, Cialis and Levitra work pretty much the same way. If you have the problem, discuss it with your doctor. Don't get ripped off by web purchases...it's more expensive and may even be phony pills. There are a few people that shouldn't take these drugs...it can kill you if you are using nitrite drugs for your heart for example! For the majority of guys it's okay and the doctor will give you a sample pack and a prescription. Side effects are usually minor and temporary...a flushed face, blurred vision, headaches for some (none seem to apply to me). Biggest negative is the cost of pills...$8 to $10 a pop, regardless of the dosage...but it's worth it for a better sex life. Some (but not all) prescription drug plans even cover it! Younger guys, you really don't need it...it's not a magic b---r pill...you still need that manual or visual stimulation to get that erection. It's also one of the most overused drugs in history!

I too have this problem. I solved it by applying Olive oil on the inner skin (before erection). Camellia or sunflower oil can be used too. Good luck!!!
