Hi, I'm 21 years old... I currently have a steady girlfriend... we are actively sexual and i do masterbate occasionally... My question is... I recently have been noticing that my penis isn't getting hard or if i do get turned on... it's not as hard as it used to be...Does this mean that I'm impotent? and also my testes have been kind of sagging too... and if i am impotent... how could i fix that?

Impotence @ 21?

It could just be that you're going through a less horny patch. That happens.Worry, stress or tiredness can also affect it. So can some medications.If it continues for a month or more you should talk to your doctor about it and get a general check-up.

yea im kinda feeling the same way..i normally masturbate on avrg once a day...but it seems like i just cant get it up anymore...it was embarrasing for my penis to not erect when my girl gave me oral...it felt good but it just didnt go up...thk god we later went to the movies and we made out a lil and i noticed it getting hard which got me happy..but still..like when i sleep i have diff. random dreams that i never use to have...i dunno..how should i go about? im also 20 just turned in oct. and im on no medication

i would also have to agree after lookin up the definition of impotence...a symptom was anxiety...which i do feel...randomly...its like one second i would be fine then outta nowhere i get nauseated and like a nervous feeling for no reason..

At some point you might worry about your performance, which causes stress, which causes you to lose your erection, and each time you have sex afterwards you go through the same cycle, making it worse.That may be what you're experiencing.From NIH's Web sit (which mostly focuses on physical causes): "Experts often treat psychologically based ED using techniques that decrease the anxiety associated with intercourse. The patient's partner can help with the techniques, which include gradual development of intimacy and stimulation."It would be a good idea to discuss it with your doctor to rule out a physical cause, although it's most likely not physical if there are times that you can get an erection, like when you wake up.

yea i sorta got an erection when i woke up...also when me and my girl went to the movies later..we made out a bit and i got an erection...the thing is..is that i lose the erection REALLY quick...and especially with a condom i get no feeling..so it gets limp again..she started to jack me off it got hard..but as soon as she put the condom and i tried putting it in its like i felt nothing..and it got small again...could it be that i masturbate soo much since the age 14..and im just hitting that stage?
-
It certainly would be worth trying not masturbating every day.Do you ever get a strong erection? If not, then a visit to the doctor is well advised.
-
yea normally...this has started to happened like within the past week...
-
just threw some porn on and definately got a hard on...i did no masturbation yesterday..and imma walk this one off..more then likely i wont be able to hold out after tom.
-
Then it must be psychological. Sounds like a bad case of performance anxiety.
-
how could it be worked with?

im not all that sure but i think it might have to do a lil of when i had smoked Marijuana...cuz my last 2 times i did smoke it..i had these bad after effects a day after and for some reason it seems like im under the influence..like the symptoms i had was my vision was like a hazyness,i constantly had anxiety or nervous feelings,i felt like something bad was going to happend...and normally it would take like a week for it to go away...this was last month..but on the 8th my friends hotboxed a car..meaning they smoked with the windows up and i was in it..i noticed after i got out the car i was high from all the breathing in i did..and as soon as that..i got that gut feeling in my stomach bad...and its like since then ive had it on and off...my sleep is also taken a toll..like i would fall alsleep normally but wake up much earlier then usual..and after that i cant fall back asleep...i dunno...should i just wait it out and see what happends?

Marijuana does make it harder to get up, but it sounds like your worry about it is making a small effect into a big one. If you treat the anxiety, the erection difficulties should get fixed too.
