I'm having a kind of embarassing problem. I'm a young guy, and about 5 months ago I lost my virginity to this girl. Since then we've been having regular sex and it has been great. However, over the past month, I'm not being able to get it up like I used to. Before, we would start making out etc, boom, I'd be ready to go and we'd start having sex. Now, I need a little oral or hand manipulation to get me erect before we start having sex. Is this normal? Do other guys experience this? I start to get nervous now, worrying each time that I'm not going to be able to get it going. Is it normal for guys to need that kind of stimulation to get hard before sex? I don't know whether I should be worried or not or how to fix the problem. When there isn't any oral/hand I will be fully aroused and ready to go and right as we get ready to have sex I lose it until i get the mentioned stimulation. ANy help/advice? Thanks.
Worrying won't help you, it will make it worse. What is your health like and how often have you been fucking? It could simply be that you are too tired physically and sexually. Still, the better shape you are in the better you can be sexually. Exercise and good diet.
I know worrying won't help but I can't keep from worrying about it.
I consider myself pretty healthy. I would definitely say I am in good shape. I'm not too tired. I WANT to have sex with her. It' s a mental thing I think but I don't know how to solve it or what to do about it.
Well, you've ruled out physical problems and horniness.
That leaves a couple of possibilities that I can think of.
The first is shyness or performance anxiety. Basically, you are worried. If both of you find the situation a-okay, and you just go for the handjob and oral, there's not much problem. It's hard to be worried when you are both saying, "Yay, blowjob!" But it has to be both of you. When it's truly acceptable to both of you then the worry goes away, and so does the problem, (but who cares anymore, because it's no longer much of a problem anyhow). Just a personal quirk.
A second possiblity that occurs to me is that you need some love with your lust, and it's not enough for her to love you, she has to love your dick. If you have any thoughts that sex is wrong or unwholesome, or violates her, you might need her loving attention to your dick to feel fully welcomed.
Or maybe I'm on crack.
Actually, now I'm a little more worried about these 'bacteriums' that you mentioned.
So, you've got your girlfriend stroking and sucking you hard before you have sex. And this is a problem?
If you didn't get hard, you might have something to worry about. As far as I can see, most guys would envy your situation! Why not see if you can get her to suck you until you cum (i.e. no fucking) for a little variety.
And Croy was right... DON'T worry about this (sounds real normal to me). You don't have a problem... don't overthink yourself into one.

Do you still get hard looking at other girls? Sometimes a different menu will cure things up.
I think the 'problem' might simply be that you've gotten used to having sex, and have grow accustomed to it. Like BigBobxxx said, you should just try some variety in your adult playtime.
A little oral and hand manipulation falls under the category of the bizarre ritual known as "foreplay". Millions of people engage in this exotic practice prior to sexual intercourse.
By the way, what do you do to your girlfriend before intercourse? Do you return the favors?

Could it be, even remotely possible, that because she was your first that you're hanging on for the sole reason to get laid?
If the physical attraction is there, and so are the feelings, the two of you need to sit down and talk about it - no one on this board can help. Otherwise, if one or the other [attraction] is missing, it might be time to face it and move on.
I never implied for you to "fool around" on her. But if the both of you are mature enough to handle it, you might be better served to explore other options, if even temporary. You owe it to yourself and each other.
I'm fortunate to be in an open relationship. We both agree on this lifestyle and always know what the other is up to.
You sound perfectly normal. The honey moon period is over and you need to be touched to get hard. It really is normal. You must concentrate on how the touching feels and forget you have a dick....it will do as you want when you forget it is there. The guy I see is 22 and he was always hard w out me touching him...Now, after a few months ...I have to suck him to get him hard. Its natural. I never even noticed this was his case until reading you. She probably doesn't notice either.
