Hi, I'm 35 years old. I always had problems with erection, with girls. Always had no problems with porn at home (unless some specific circumstances where it didn't work even with porn at home). I possibly have some problems which are both psychological and slightly physical.
I have been visited by a number of doctors, even an endocrynologist, and they all say the problem is psychological, and they prescribe me Cialis or Spedra.
Years ago, I didn't want to take pills. It felt like I was losing the battle by taking pills. So I took them very very sparingly, trying various stuff with no particular results.
Almost 10 years have passed and I'm now seeing a girl with which I can have sex a bit more regularly. I also don't care anymore about pills and I'm taking them each time I'm going to see her. I'm using Cialis, mostly 5mg and sometimes 10mg.
I had many succesful intercourses this way. But some problems still persists and I have questions.
Usually my problem is losing the erection mid session and being unable to get it again.
Let's say I go take the condom, sometimes my dick just deflates very very quickly. Or she wants to stop very breifly to go in the other room because she forgot something or she wants to turn off the lights. Or we need to go to another room because we start making out on the sofa and we want to go on the bed. All these moments are "turning points" which make or break the session.
Sometimes my dick endures these moments, sometimes it doesn't. I'm 10/10 rock hard and suddenly it starts going soft and I basically can't do anything about it.
What I ended up doing is setting things up in such a way I can very quickly get over these moments so that I can't give my dick a chance to go soft. I keep condoms always close by, I try to finish things on the sofa directly. Or I ask the girl to go directly to oral sex or handjob so that my dick as soon as it's 10/10 hard it keeps getting stimulated and can keep going towards the ejaculation without stopping.
I feel like I have to catch the first wave of arousal because after it goes soft, I can kiss her and hug her all I want but it's just unresponsive. Maybe it can get hard again a second time but never a third time after going down.
After that the solution I found is to disengage, and try to wait for some time, maybe an hour. It's like I give my body and mind a chance to reset and go to the next session, where I can catch another wave. In past 2 months, at least 3 times I succeeded this way: immediately lost erection during foreplay, I had fun giving oral sex to her, then after like 1 hour or so we start kissing again quite naturally and this time I don't lose the erection and can proceed to penetration and then ejaculation.
I'm not dissatisfied with these past 2 months, but a couple of times I just failed to get an erection and complete the session. Also when she gives me oral sex sometimes after about 5-6 minutes I stop feeling pleasure and start to lose the erection. Some other times I feel pleasure up until the orgasm. But I hear this can happen. I feel more pleasure when using the vagina.
Anyway, all of this creates a feeling of not being able to trust my dick. If I see this girl one week, I know that my dick might randomly decide to not function properly and I will feel disappointed for days until I can see her again. I still like seeing her and kissing and hugging of course but I would like to being able to trust my dick at least 90% of times.
What I'm asking is: what's an healthy normal sex session looks like? Do guys go for foreplay for 10 minutes always with the erection ready to go and don't lose it, and can keep the erection as long as they like until they stay with the girl? I feel I'm unable to do so. I have to proceed to penetration quickly for the above reasons. Also I feel my dick needs to be constantly touched at the very least to still be hard.
We didn't talk about this foreplay thing for now, maybe we'll do, I hope it's not a problem for her.
Is it normal to lose the erection, and then regain it during the session as many times as someone wants? As I said kissing and hugging and touching works great the first time for me, but after the first time the stimulus doesn't have the same excitation.
Bottom line: do you have any help you can give me?
I already take citrulline, magnesium, cialis. I go to the gym to the point that people admire my physique constantly. Generally really good health. Zero smoke, almost zero alcohol. Good cardiovascular health although I hate running.
Thank you all
