Gay guys have erection

To determine the prevalence of erectile dysfunction ED in a sample of the Belgian men who have sex with men MSM population, and to assess the relevance of major predictors such as age, relationship, and education. MSM, who were in a steady relationship or frequently had sex with a partner, reported less ED. MSM with ejaculation problems indicated having more ED. Erectile dysfunction ED is defined as the persistent inability to obtain and maintain an erection sufficient to permit a satisfactory sexual performance. Epidemiological research on ED is rapidly growing and several studies showed large variations in the prevalence of ED.

It was just as things were getting serious in the bathroom at a house party that an off-hand comment ruined the mood for Toby. Their encounter ended; he could no longer perform. That was in November , but even after Toby started dating someone else, the problem persisted. Many believe erectile dysfunction ED , also known as impotence, is becoming more prevalent in young men. According to the Irish Heart Foundation, 18 per cent of men aged 50 to 59, 38 per cent of men aged between 60 and 69 and 57 per cent of men aged over 70 suffer from the condition. However, Nicole Prause , a neuroscientist who specialises in sexual behaviour, says there is little scientific and statistical evidence of a growth in the prevalence of ED. More men believe themselves to have ED, when they are actually anxious about their sexual performance.

My sex life with my boyfriend of six months is verging on dismal. I have a really hard time staying hard and am doing my best to avoid his finding out or having this become an issue in our relationship. This has been a problem for me in other relationships and has been a cause for concern to me for many years. If I open my eyes I start to get nervous and often can lose my erection.

Thank you very much for writing in to us at Alterheros. You write that becoming aroused after mistakenly seeing gay porn has caused you to question your sexuality, despite the fact that you are attracted to and have been in love with girls. Your question is not uncommon among young people—most will question their orientation at least once in their lives. We are so often preoccupied with labels.
