Premature Ejaculation – ED Question:
I’m not going to beat around the bush, I have a sexual problem. I’m a 22-year-old man and I have recently found myself a girlfriend. Things are really serious and I feel like this could turn into something good. I’m a virgin. My problem is, whenever things start to get intense, my penis leaks a transparent fluid – precum. I mean – we cuddle for about 30 minutes, and meanwhile, I leak a lot. After that, I just can’t get hard anymore to satisfy her. This happened about three times already, and I don’t know what to do.
Before we met, I masturbated quite often with no problem getting hard whenever I wanted. Now I don’t even feel horny and have real trouble getting erect while I’m alone. I have seen the doctor and he prescribed Sildenafil, this made me hard for a while, but unable to reach orgasm. I feel like the problem is psychological, or I’m having low testosterone levels or something. Could you provide me with any advice? Thank you very much, I feel really bad about this.
Doctor Alsayes Answer:
I’m very sorry to hear about that. First of all, you should know that above 80% of ED problems we see at our clinics are due to psychological problems and what makes them harder to treat is that many of these patients refuse to believe it’s just a psychological issue. And I’m afraid this might be the case for you.
However, I’d suggest first to check with your doctor for evaluation, and if all organic causes of ED were excluded then I’d suggest to you see a psychotherapist.
In the meanwhile, if you need to take something then it should be proven medications such as Cialis or Viagra.
Otherwise, I recommend healthy lifestyle by exercising regularly, eating healthy food (low cholesterol), and stop or avoid alcohol and tobacco as they both contribute to ED.
Also, try your best to let it go naturally when you are with your partner, don’t over think it or stress yourself about any of it.
I hope this answers your question.
Thanks, Dr. Alsayes
