Among persons of your age the most common cause of difficulty in getting hard erections during partner sex is ANXIETY. It may be the anxiety about somebody detecting you, about pleasing your partner, or fear of impregnating her, and the like. Sometimes it may be the sorroundings - the inconvenient back-seat of a car, or the noises around. It may be a demanding or belittling partner; Fear that she might evaluate your performance or that she might reject you.

Sexual intercourse is not just an interaction of sex organs. Mind plays a key role in there. Any thing that distracts your mind or preoccupies it can dampen your desire and hamper the erections. So, how to overcome the problem? Do not try too hard. Have sex only when you have plenty of TIME, and a PLACE where you are sure of not being disturbed for several hours, and a RELAXED mood. Stay cool. Do not be anxious that you might FAIL THIS TIME ALSO. After all, every failure is a stepping stone for success in sex too. Spend more time becoming comfortable with your partner. Share your feelings and concerns with her.

Do not attempt to penetrate her as soon as an erection occurs. Instead let the erections wax and wane while you are engaged in love play. Focus on every pleasurable sensation you receive during the play. Do not focus your mind on the hardness of erection. As you immerse yourself in the foreplay you will realise that the erections are lasting longer and harder.

Finally, when you penetrate her, try a different position than one in which you have previously lost erections. This will save you from the triggering effect of the past erectile failures. All you need is one successful intercourse.

In all probability the delayed ejaculation (having hard time to ejaculate) also disappears when you perform sex in a relaxed and comfortable setting. If not, we shall certainly be of help to you in resolving that issue too. Please do not hesitate to contact if you need further help. Thanks for visiting SexualHealth.com.
