Guys, is it medically OK, if you can't get erections?

[ItsMeItsMe1989]

I know that of course it makes it difficult to have sex, and have babies, but, I guess what I'm asking more of is, is it bad, medically, if you can't, as in, is it a danger

Also, as a side, women, is it a health hazard, if you can't get wet? It won't really cause you to not be able to have sex and babies but, if you can't get wet, it'll make sex a little bit more difficult, especially if you don't have artificial lube with you. I'm specifically asking, is it a health issue, if you can't get wet?

For women it’s usually a mental issue ( from molestation or trauma) if not , it can be from menopause, early menopause, STD’s or other medical issues.

Guys, it can be the same , mental , std’s , physical or medical. I’d have it checked out. There are sleep studies , where a paper band is secured around your penis, you fall asleep and if it’s broken when you awaken. They know your equipment is functioning. Are you not attracted to women? Maybe that’s it and you’re forcing yourself? Either way you need an answer...

I have E. D. caused by diabetes. I'm also 61. My doctor has informed me that it does not affect my health. It does however affect your quality of life. There are procedures that improve or cure this issue though I have not pursued this myself. The biggest issue will be penetration. If you and your partner are trying to have a baby then consult your doctor about things you can do to improve how you deliver sperm to it's destination.

Whew. Glad you don’t have this problem. Not getting erections is a medical problem.


I've experienced vaginal dryness after birth. KY jelly helped immensely. Vaginal dryness is way easier to correct than ED.

[ItsMeItsMe1989]

I'm not asking about ED. You could have problems getting erect without having ED. I'm saying, is it a PROBLEM, if you can't get hard, medically

[loves2learn]

Agreed.

[loves2learn]

@indianguyq why?

[Indianguyq]

Just fir tp

[loves2learn]

Lol huh?

It is a health issue because those things are important for reproduction. Normal libido is important. Also, these signs can be a sign of other health problems and the result of an unhealthy lifestyle.

[ItsMeItsMe1989]

So you're saying a bad lifestyle, could be the cause of no erections.. that women shouldn't just assume it's them?

[modelUN242]

Well, I didn't take that into consideration but non-medically speaking, it can be the cause of women if they're unattractive in the man's eyes, and vice versa.

[modelUN242]

I also don't think you should force yourself to be aroused if you aren't, it should come natural. Like if you're in a long-term relationship and let's say one of you gains a ton of weight, then yeah it's not their fault, they're just not attracted to you in that state.

[daydreammarie]

You should definitely speak with your doctor because that is a condition just as not getting wet would be a condition I dont know the names for them but it is an element of the body that isn't working properly therefore an issue you should bring up to your doctor and talk about it . I dont think youd be in danger due to it but it can cause other issues.

[shy_guy_30]

It can be an indicator of diabetes, high blood pressure or other issues.
So in itself it doesn't do harm, the underline reasons for it may be a problem.

[Kaneki05]

It means there is something obviously wrong, which i have no doubt would effect something else about you.

[FilmGuy93]

That's a very serious problem.

[Browneye57]

Could well be a medical condition, so yes, see your doctor.

[KatherineJ]

It could be a medical issue if she can’t lubricator. But I’m not a doctor. If your girl can’t get wet, she needs to visit her girl doctor.

[Batuthekhan]

Would love to talk as I'm in same situation

[NoManToo]

How old are you? It makes a difference when it comes to having erections. If you are young see a doctor you may have a problem.

If you have problems keeping an erection it just might be performance anxiety.
