Inability to get an erection or sustaining erection for sufficient duration to satisfy partner or continue lovemaking activity for desired duration is a growing problem and males often wonder that why they cannot do so for their partner’s likings. Medical examinations have revealed that in most of the males psychological reasons are responsible for causing this problem rather than physical reasons. Some males suffer with performance anxiety which occurs due to one or two failures in bed and then onwards male put extra pressure on themselves to perform well which works negatively for getting an erection or sustaining it. This can happen to a young male who is having his first experience or even to those who have been leading a normal love life so far.
Fear also plays a negative role. Fear of someone coming to know about it or someone might enter into the room or in married couples fear of children might wake up or woman might get pregnant are few common fears which can distract a male so much where he either cannot get an erection or is unable to sustain his erection. Another factor which can make a male wonder that why he can’t get an erection or sustain erection is stress. This can be mental stress or physical or both. Stressed out male cannot perform according to his ability and it is a proven fact, even under stress if any male pushes himself to make love for any reason might end up either losing erection too early or not getting any erection at all.
Diseases and side effects of medicines also play a significant role in raising issues which might cause this problem. Diabetes is one of the most common causes as it can harm nerves, weaken them and block blood vessels, side effects of high blood pressure medicines, anti-depressants and tranquilizers are also few reasons why a male can’t get an erection or sustain erection for sufficient duration. Bad effects of habits like over masturbation or abusive sexual practices, physical inactivity or low libido are other causes why a healthy male can’t get an erection or sustain erection for lovemaking activity.
Strained relationship with partner or lack of cooperation from partner is another cause which is quite common in married couples who have enjoyed a healthy love life so far. Lack of trust, irritated behavior, day to day tensions and many other problems can strain relationship in married couples which take away the interest from lovemaking activity and are few reasons why male can’t get an erection or sustain erection during lovemaking.
Some other reasons for lack of erection or poor erection during lovemaking are heart diseases, poor respiratory system, urinary tract infections, pain during erection and penis curvature. Due to ageing or general weaknesses responses of nerves slow down and become sluggish, this reduces sensation and signal transmission to brain which is another reason why can’t a male get an erection or sustain erection. Males who get sexually stimulated too many times during the day and get aroused may also suffer with this problem when they actually try to perform in bed.
