I feel nothing with my girlfriend
When I’m alone, I get aroused, get an erection, and sometimes masturbate. But when I am with bae, I feel nothing. I can arouse her until she wants sex but I don’t get an erection. What is wrong with me?
Well-working equipment
Well, this is a tough one, but mostly because I fear I have to point you in a direction that might shock you. Your equipment works perfectly well when you are on your own which tells me that you do not have a physiological problem. The issues pop up when we add a woman to the mix. You chose your girlfriend because you like her and you find her attractive so I am baffled.
Are you afraid of something?
Might you, perhaps be afraid to defile her with your sexual urges? In our sex education, many of us are taught that ‘good girls don’t’. It’s the bad girls who have premarital sex and the bad girls who want sex; meanwhile, good girls wait for marriage and even then they only have sex to please their husbands, not because they want it.
This thought pattern termed ‘the madonna/whore complex’ has damaged many a marriage bed when men find that they cannot screw their wives, rather they have to ‘make love’ to them in a well-mannered way that does not offend.
Good manners and extreme politeness does not make a sex life great, so these men save their ‘real desire’ for whores and loose women.
Get help
If this sounds like what is going on in your mind, I suggest you seek help from a counsellor who can help you work through this issue. It’s not uncommon and you may find that you resolve it relatively quickly.
If you aren’t turned on by women, at all, then you may be a homosexual. It is time to ask yourself some hard questions and you will find that a counsellor dedicated to listening can also help you come to your own conclusions at your own pace. I wish you all the best in this journey of self-inquiry and remember that there is nothing wrong with you if you do indeed turn out to be gay.

Hi Faheem,
Hi Faheem,
you bring up a really good point here: that sex between married partners or couples needs to be sweet and clean. But then, we all know that while that is nice, sometimes sex also needs to be urgent, and a bit rough, and fast.
However, the best way to deal with these needs is to discuss them with your partner and to make your needs and wishes clear.

Hi Reuben,
Hi Reuben,
that’s a lot of questions!
First, can you tell us some more what you mean by a weak erection?
Premature ejaculation can be helped with a variety of things. Try using condoms, especially thick ones, which will decrease your sensation and make you come less quickly. You can also go until you are about to come and then stop all movement until the feeling passes. Then start going again until you are ready to ejaculate. You can also practice by masturbating and trying to delay ejaculation for as long as possible. After ejaculation, it’s very normal to not be able to get a new erection for a while, and the older you get, the longer it will take. Totally normal, and a reason to make sex quality, not quantity!
As for seeing a naked woman and getting an erection- completely normal! Especially if you don’t have a lot of sex, this can be enough to arouse you, and that’s okay, there is nothing wrong with it. Lastly, please stay away from pills and medications that have not be prescribed by a doctor. They can be harmful and dangerous! We hope this helps!

I have a prblem of eraction when am wth a woman bt i easly masturbate
Hi Ti’ara,
Hi Ti’ara,
it could be that you are so nervous with a woman that you have trouble with erections. Or are you wearing a condom? When you are not used to it, it can affect your erection. Why not try to masturbate with a condom on to get used to it?
