Hi doctor,

I am a 23-year-old male. I do not get an erection as my cock is not getting hard now. When I am having sex, it does not get hard for a long time. I am worried about this. Please suggest.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Please give some answers to my questions. Do you get an erection during masturbation? Do you smoke? Are you hypertensive or diabetic? Do you involve in excessive masturbation? Do you watch porn? Do you have anxiety symptoms like a headache, shakiness of hands, excessive sweating, abdominal discomfort?

Do you have depressive symptoms like persistent low mood, loss of interest, weakness, disturbed sleep or appetite, feeling of hopelessness, guilt, suicide? Are you married? If yes, then when you got married? Revert back to me with answers, so that I can help you to get better.

Thank you doctor,

Erection is more during masturbation. It is less during sex. I have the habit of smoking. I am not hypertensive or diabetic. I like to masturbate, and I watch porn when I am tensed or upset. Usually, I watch porn and masturbate more. I do phone sex. I do not have weakness or other symptoms. I am single. Please advise me as I am worried.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I went through your query thoroughly. You have erectile dysfunction. But it is not secondary to depression or anxiety. Smoking is also a cause of erectile dysfunction. So quit it. Try to control your frequency of watching porn or phone sex. Take tablet Tadacip (Tadalafil) 20 mg, 40 minutes before intercourse and take tablet Buprex (Bupropion) XL 150 mg one tablet daily at night.
