Subject: no frequent erection like teenage
Question
Dear Mr Taylor,
How are you ? hope you are doing well.
I am 25 years old and averagely healthy.
My questions is How do I get frequent erection like I used to have when I was young ?
I do have balls injury from playing soccer at 18 years old and from there my erection start to decline. now ,only when I sleep I get rock hard erection. but when I am conscious its not that hard, only sometimes. I need stimulation to get erection, but when I was young it's just spontaneous.
Could you give me some advice please?
thank you
Alex
Answer
Hey there Alex,
As we get older the number of erections that we have does naturally decline and it does tend to take a lot more to get us sexually aroused. This is because the levels of hormone that cause our libido (our sex drive) level out after puberty and we have already began to define exactly what it is that 'gets us off'. Whereas when we are younger, the slightest touch or thought can get us hard, as we get older we take on a lot more emotional bagage and being to worry too much about our environment...and this psychological state affects our physical capability and will explain why you can get erections when you are asleep but not when you are awake...you're not worried when you are asleep.
Some guys also need a lot more physical touching before they get an erection because thought and imagination is not alone enough. You can increase your sensitivity to imagination by closing your eyes and as you imagine whatever it is that gets you excited, gently stroking your penis until you get aroused...but do not ejaculate. Keep using your imagination and touching your penis with your eyes close and you will find that you become more and more sexually aroused until the point of just a quick glance of something sexual with make you hard. This does take time to build up though, so do not expect this to change really quick.
The other thing to do is to think about factors in your life that could be causing interference in your mind, like work pressures and family pressures etc...if you eliminate these, you should find that your erections return to full capacity.
Failing all this...go and see a doctor, just to make sure that there is no damage to your penis and that it is not a physical thing that is causing this.
I hope that helps.
Take Care
