Most Helpful Guys

  • Smoking cigarettes' can mess with an erection. If he gets really stoned it could also mess things up. Does it stay hard when he masturbates?
    I would try more foreplay when naked, have him eat well and get more exercise... get him outside for a walk or a run in the sunlight.
    How often are you having sex with him?

    • He does smoke cigs. Im not sure. Okay. Not as much as ID like because of it. Im trying everyday...

  • If he doesn't have any underlying physical problem then stress/anxiety/being depressed could affect his erectile response. If this is about a guy you're with just try to be supportive because it will be embarrassing for him. It *doesn't* have anything to do with his attraction to you.
