I've known my boyfriend for 7 yrs he's 42 yrs and he has always had trouble getting and keeping an erection. No matter how hard I try I can't seem to get him hard, unless it's his idea he can get one..but once he gets an erection he loses it with in minutes. he won't go to the doctors, I've suggested maybe using a strap-on so that I can be satified, but he won't go for it. Anyone has any suggestions that I might use. thanks

I figured if he doesn't want to go to the doctors, at least I'll be satified if he got a strap-on. Someone has to think of me. If not him ...me

Yes. I have a suggestion.

Stop suggesting a strap-on. The guy has a problem and you suggesting a strap-on is making him feel worse about it, which in turn magnifies his problem.

Here are a few causes (and treatments) for impotence:

Causes
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chronic tobacco use: Smoking has been shown to affect arterial blood flow and may also affect the arteries in the penis, reducing the blood flow necessary to maintain an erection.

Diabetes: This is one of the most common causes of impotence, because diabetes can cause changes in blood flow through narrowing of the arteries, or damage to nerve endings in the penis.

Hormonal Imbalance: Only a small percentage of cases of impotence are due to hormonal problems, such as insufficient testosterone.

Neurologic Impairment: Injuries to the spinal cord or brain, or neurological diseases, such as Alzheimer's Disease, can lead to impotence. Erectile dysfunction is commonly associated with multiple sclerosis and Parkinson's disease.

Pelvic Surgery: Surgery or radiation to the prostrate, bladder, rectum or colon can cause nerve damage in the surrounding area. The damage may interfere with signals that must pass between the brain and the sexual organs to allow erection and orgasm.

Pelvic Trauma: Injuries caused by accidents, particularly accidents associated with bicycle riding, water sports, gymnastics and horseback riding, can cause impotence.

Prescription Drugs: Many prescription drugs, especially blood pressure or anti-depressant medication, can cause impotence, as well as some over-the-counter medications.

Psychological: Depression, anxiety, problems with self-esteem, anger, fear, and other mental conditions may lead to impotence.

Vascular Disease: Vascular diseases such as hardening of the arteries, or heart disease, can lead to reduced blood flow, thereby impairing the ability of the penis to become sufficiently engorged to maintain an erection.

Treatments
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Intra Urethral Pellets: The patient uses an applicator to insert a small pellet of medication into the opening at the end of the penis (the urethra). The medication causes blood vessels to relax, so the penis fills with blood and becomes erect.
Common Side Effects: Pain, burning sensation

Oral Medications: The recently FDA-approved medication Viagra works directly on the blood vessels, allowing the arteries to expand. It will only cause an erection when the man is sexually aroused. Several other drugs, including two oral medications and one cream, are currently in trials.
Common Side Effects: Headache, facial flushing, backache, upset stomach, bluish tinge to vision

Penile Implants: This is an irreversible surgical intervention. Two inflatable balloons are implanted into the penis, a pump into the scrotum, and a reservoir near the bladder. When inflated by the pump, fluid from the reservoir flows into the inflatable balloons, creating an erection.
Common Side Effects: Swelling, potential infection/malfunction

Penile Injections: The patient or his partner uses a small needle to inject a powerful muscle relaxant into the base of the penis. The relaxation of muscle tissue allows blood to flow into the erection chambers in the penis, creating an erection.
Common Side Effects: Pain, bleeding, scarring, and rarely, prolonged erection

Vacuum Therapy: By placing a cylinder over the penis and withdrawing air, a vacuum is created, mechanically enhancing the flow of blood into the penis. A rubber ring placed on the base of the erect penis traps the blood inside the penis and maintains the erection

Why doesn't your Penis get hard anymore? I know how you feel. Could be a lot of reasons why you're incapable of getting an erection. This will help you get your feeling/erections back. https://bitly.im/aL0Y4 Works like a charm. Good luck.

Keep on drinking and smoking and drugging and playing mind games. I am 60 and can have sex twice a day, every day. I dont drink, smoke, use fun street drugs or have mental problems. I've had erections and ejaculations several times every week since before I was 20. I'm sexually similar to when I was 18. No peak, no valley, just the same, all those years.

Either he has ED and he's decided to go without sex rather than see a doctor (unlikely), or he's fooling around and is too worn out to perform for you, or he's not attracted to you and can't admit it, or he's gay and won't admit it.

If you're content to go without sex (and I'm sure you're not), then don't worry about it. Otherwise confront him with these possibilities. If he denies everything and still refuses to get treatment (if that's what he needs), then move on, because he's being dishonest with you in some way.
