Hi. My friend and his partner was about to have sex but it penis did not stayed hard and erect. In a very less time it loosed it erection before inserting. And he is not sure if he is having ED. Because he thought his penis would perform better as it had better erection and hard. Just one or two months back he was having a good erection. His penis got erected within seconds watching porn. He use to masturbate a lot but still it managed to maintain its erection. But that night it couldn't.Now he have stopped masturbation to lot of extent. And after that night he is discovering that even after watching porn his penis doesn't gets erect. Its takes sometime. He needs to rub his penis to make it hard. What shall he do to maintain a longer erection so that he could have a better sex life?

Dear lybrate user. Please don?t panic. You must understand ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION. There is nothing called erectile dysfunction while having masturbation. Loosing erection in the initial stages of sex or not having erection at all or having late erection or lack of sexual desire are called erectile dysfunction. Erectile dysfunction can be a sign of a physical or psychological condition. It can cause stress, relationship strain, and low self-confidence. The main symptom is a man's inability to get or keep an erection firm enough for sexual intercourse. Patients suffering from erectile dysfunction should first be evaluated for any underlying physical and psychological conditions. If treatment of the underlying conditions doesn't help, medications and assistive devices, such as pumps, can be prescribed. Yoga, meditation and diet could be prescribed once we know the basic reasons for it. Two natural treatments for ED that have shown promise are red ginseng and pomegranate juice. Ginseng is thought to increase nitric oxide production, leading to improved blood flow. Pomegranate juice is a potent antioxidant and can help too. Watermelon could also help. Psychological reasons usually get cleared with sex therapy. I suggest online sex therapy. Take care.
