My boyfriend and I have been together for 10 months. We just started having sex in January and he had problems keeping his erection. He has no trouble when I use my hands or give him oral, but during sex he can't keep his erection for the whole time. I'm the first girl he's been with (hes 23) and I don't know what might be the problem. Like we will have sex and during he loses his erection and we have to stop and get him hard again. Anyone know why he has this problem and what we can do to solve it?
Because there are so many types there are different remedies.
Most ED drugs (Viagra etc.) are made for those that cannot achieve an erection, but sometimes that are used for times when they cannot sustain an erection after penetration. However, there may be a psychological issue which will work itself out (usually) after some time. However, a doctor can fully evaluate it if it really becomes a problem. Unfortunately, I can't be more specific because I do not know details.
The penis ring is an option, however, this may be very uncomfortable for him.
You will be able to work this out together if you're willing.

They have a few inexpensive products designed for this problem that trap blood in the penis and keeps it there so he has a sufficient erection to complete the act of intercourse. If you walk in to an adult novelty store and tell them that your looking for rings or other devices that trap blood allowing for an erection they'll know instantly how to help.
The other thing too is that he's never ever been with a girl and is likely scared out of his mind and clueless about sex. Maybe if you spoke with him about his fears, the pressures be might be feeling etc. etc. he'll relax enough so it's never a problem.
Try what I mentioned first and if it continues happening it's because he has some kind of psychological hang up about sex. maybe he's insecure about his body or seeing yours or feels you'll be disappointed. You need to talk to him and go from that point. [ solidadvice4teens's advice column | Ask solidadvice4teens A Question ]
