My boyfriend and i have always had sex very often for about 2 years now. He is always able to get hard right away and can go for a very long time. However, lately he hasnt been able to get an erection as easily and we are only able to go 2 or 3 rounds instead of 5 or 6 like before. The last couple times we had sex he wasnt even able to stay hard enough to finish having sex. We have increased the amount of sex from twice a week to maybe three days in a row, but there have been no changes in diet, stress or anything. He is still able to feel horny and aroused, however his penis wont get hard. Any ideas as to what is causing this? Could our increased amount of sex have anything to do with it?

Now you also mentioned that he was able to go for a "very long time." That could be sign that he is masturbating too much (like everyday), which leads to a condition where he needs more sustained intense stimulation to stay hard. One thing you could do is ask him to watch you masturbate while he does it to himself and see if he has to make more effort to keep himself up. If so, he may be wiggling the weasel more than he should when he is away from you.
Or he had one instance where he couldn't get it up, hated to disappoint you and now is obsessing on it by doubting himself.
Or he could be getting bored with you or the sex you have has become too routine. Don't overthink this point. Sometimes couples go through ups and downs where this happens and then something rekindles the old drives again.
If the instances of what you call erectile dysfunction were more profound, I would think he might want to get checked for diabetes or cardiovascular disease.

Not being a doctor and the web does not allow for examining some one if I was a doctor, my advice is your boyfriend see a doctor. Most erectile disfunction can be addressed by doctors. [ adviceman49's advice column | Ask adviceman49 A Question ]
