Two basic things - men's testosterone levels are highest in the morning is the main thing. The AM erection is most pronounced in men with a very regular schedule/ sleep routine - and age 13 to 35 - \n\nThe second is the full bladder - compression of the venous outflow from the erectile bodies occurs - this is not enough to cause an erection by itself though.

Well, consider this: a man loses a third of his RDA of zinc with every ejaculation.  Zinc deficiency can lead to lowered testosterone and irritability.  Also, on a psychological level, too much masturbation can isolate you socially, both because you spend too much time alone and because you can become known as that guy who jerks off all the time.  \n\nAt the same time, masturbation makes you less likely to get prostate cancer and allows you to be more comfortable with your sexuality and body in general.  Just keep it to a reasonable level and you'll be fine.

Agree with others, age may be a factor here; but erectile problems are, in a physical sense, basically about blood flow. So in this respect, age is not necessarily the main factor here. So, I'd start with a 'physical.' \n\nED can sometimes be a by-product of diabetes. Are there other classic signs, thirst, excessive peeing, etc.? Is there an enlarged or aggravated prostate problem? Enlarged prostate can interfere with blood flow. A general cardio-vascular problem? Is he getting regular exercise?\n\nSometimes, it's 'all in his mind,' meaning psychological stresses from work, or other sources. If he is worried, it will just shut him down, totally. So, maybe ask him, not like an inquisition, but maybe just tease it out of him, about workplace/relationship with coworkers issues?\n\nSpice it up? I don't mean to go for handcuffs, etc. (no offense to those who enjoy this, whatever floats your boat), but after a long time with a partner, even though things can still be hot, they can also become very 'routine.' Are there varying ways you could stimulate him? Alot of guys don't realize that pretty much the entire pelvic floor of the male body is packed with G-spots. You wanted to hear from a guy, so I can pass this along to you: if he is stimulated from the bottom up, the blood flow is more increases, and produces a better erection, engorged to the max, and therefore all nerve endings usually buried within folds of skin, are now exposed in full sensitivity.\n\nI am not trying to be (porno)graphic, just plainly honest. it's basically anatomy 101, and simple, natural physiology. it's the way a guy's body 'works.'\n\nDon't know if this helps, but it is submitted as a serious and honest answer.\n\nGood luck!

U 48, I think this is one of the reason cause this. More and more older , men will get soft erection.It's hard for men to keep it stiff forever. So u don't worried about it so much provided that u can still have sex and come .\nHowever , the stress life will effect this prolem, Do u work so hard and not relax? The work, family, boss... are not like u want?\nTalk to yr wife, u and her will find the way to improve it. and i know she know the ways to make u feel like before

The causes of erectile dysfunction may be physiological or psychological. Psychological impotence can often be helped by almost anything that the patient believes in; there is a very strong placebo effect.\nDue to its embarrassing nature and the shame felt by sufferers, the subject was taboo for a long time, and is the subject of many urban legends. Folk remedies have long been advocated, with some being advertised widely since the 1930s. The introduction of perhaps the first pharmacologically effective remedy for impotence, sildenafil (trade name Viagra), in the 1990s caused a wave of public attention, propelled in part by the news-worthiness of stories about it and heavy advertising.\n\nThe Latin term impotentia coeundi describes simple inability to insert the penis into the vagina. It is now mostly replaced by more precise terms.\n\nMedical symptoms\n\nErectile dysfunction is characterized by the inability to maintain an erection. Normal erections during sleep and in the early morning suggest a psychogenic cause, while loss of these erections may signify underlying disease, often cardiovascular in origin. Other factors leading to erectile dysfunction are diabetes mellitus (causing neuropathy) or hypogonadism (decreased testosterone levels due to disease affecting the testicles or the pituitary gland).\nA wide variety of options exist for treating erectile dysfunction. They include everything from medications and simple mechanical devices to surgery and psychological counseling. The cause and severity of your condition are important factors in determining the best treatment or combination of treatments for you. \nUncontroversial treatments\n\nPDE5 Inhibitors\nThe prescription PDE5 inhibitors sildenafil (Viagra®), vardenafil (Levitra®) and tadalafil (Cialis®) are prescription drugs which are taken orally. They work by blocking the action of PDE5, which causes cGMP to degrade. cGMP causes the smooth muscle of the arteries in the penis to relax, allowing the corpus cavernosum to fill with blood.\n\n* Sildenafil (Viagra)\n* Tadalafil (Cialis)\n* Vardenafil (Levitra)\n\nThe Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Viagra in 1998, and it became the first oral medication for erectile dysfunction on the market. Since then, doctors have written millions of prescriptions for the blue, diamond-shaped tablets. But Viagra is no longer the only pill that treats this condition. Levitra and Cialis are two other options.\n\nViagra, Levitra and Cialis work in much the same way. Chemically known as phosphodiesterase inhibitors, these drugs enhance the effects of nitric oxide, a chemical messenger that relaxes smooth muscles in the penis. This increases the amount of blood and allows a natural sequence to occur — an erection in response to sexual stimulation. These medications don't automatically produce an erection. Instead they allow an erection to occur after physical and psychological stimulation. Many men experience improvement in erectile function after taking these medications regardless of the cause of their impotence.

You'll be wasting your money.  There is no evidence that male erectile dysfunction - impotence or the inablity to "get it up and keep it up" is the result of a vitamin deficiency.  \n\nIf impotence is lowering your quality of life, talk to your doctor.  You'll need a physical to determine whether your impotence is due to "natural causes" or a disease process.  Most are due to what we'd call "natural causes" and some are due to chronic illnesses like diabetes.\n\nThe physical will also show whether it's safe for you to try one of the three drugs used to treat the condition.  It'll also help you and the doc decide whether you should try the pump first.  \n\nThe three medicines work quite well for some 60 to 70 percent of affected men.  Some men have agreed to surgical attempts at restoring their flagging libidos, but even in those cases where few other causes for the guys' impotence have been determined, those operations more often than not leave the guy little better off than before the operation.\n\nGood luck, pal.  It ain't an easy thing to deal with to realize you're developing that problem.  It's also hard on your partner!  At least, if you care about each other and want to continue to share intimacy, there are non-chemical assistive devices that vibrate, dildoes, scented massage oils and the like.  And hey - every guy's got one alternative device at hand without spending a penny.  It's that odd thing that sits in your mouth and that you talk with... Learn to use it "creatively".  She'll love you for it!

Yes, but not because of 'restricting blood flow.' The problem is mainly with rupturing blood vessels and severe chafing. Long-term effects can include massive scarring (which can lead to Peyronie’s disease), loss of feeling, erectile dysfunction and deformity. Also, pump gains are not traction induced and tend to be more temporary than permanent.\n\nA much better solution, and one with no side effects, is a medical traction device such as the Andro Penis. This method is based on using traction to permanently expand the blood-carrying chambers (the largest being the corpus cavernosa) of the penis.\n\nUse the Andro Penis device 4-9 hours per day for 3-6 months. You will have time-linear flaccid and erect gains. The flaccid gains appear first.\n\nI've gained permanently 1.75" length and 1" girth since June 2005 through the use of an Andro Penis medical traction device and PowerJelq for exercises. Try it, and you will be happy to see serious gains after 3-6 months usage.

Your brain is sending a signal of arousal to your penis.  Blood is then rushed to that area, making it hard.  It just means that you are healthy.  In the long run, you may be less susceptible to prostate cancer, impotence (erectile dysfunction).

If it lasts more than 3 or 4 hours it is imperative that you get to an emergency room.  This condition can be very dangerous to a man.  I am not aware of anything you can do at home if an erection persists so you must get medical help.\n\nBest Wishes,\n\nSue

The wording of your question is alittle hard to follow, but I doubt that ejaculating daily is likely to be very detrimental to health. men do lose zince in their semen, so if concerned take a zinc supplement, but otherwise enjoy yourself without worry!

In men\n\n      Long-term diabetes can cause damage to the nervous system, which is involved in the complex process of erection.\n\n      This means men with diabetes may suffer from erectile dysfunction (ED) and be unable to get or maintain an erection. As many as a third of men with diabetes experience ED.\n\n      \n      Term watch\n      Erectile dysfunction is another name for impotence.\n      Some men only discover they have diabetes when they seek treatment for their erectile dysfunction.\n\n      Once diabetes has been regulated through diet, pills or insulin injections, sexual problems usually disappear and the ability to get an erection is restored.\n\n      In women\n\n      A number of women with diabetes may suffer from recurring vaginitis (inflammation of the vagina), which is usually due to yeast infection. This makes sex painful. You may suffer itching or burning sensations.\n\n      Women with diabetes may also get recurring cystitis.\n\n      There is also some suggestion that women with diabetes have problems with arousal, and just as the penis fails to become erect in the man, the clitoris in a woman may not respond to stimulation in the normal way.\n\nCan you make your sex life work when you have diabetes?\n\nIf you feel diabetes is causing problems with your sex life, talk to your doctor.\n\nWhile no-one relishes talking about sexual problems with a doctor, these issues can only be addressed if you seek help.\n\nYour doctor will try to find out whether sexual problems are caused by defects in the nervous or circulatory system as a result of the diabetes, or whether they are of a more psychological nature. Often this distinction is difficult to make.\n\nIn any case, when sexual dysfunction begins to happen on a regular basis it tends to get worse unless it is properly treated, so the psychological element inevitably builds up.\n\nAn increasing number of men who have diabetes and ED are being helped by medicines such as sildenafil (Viagra), tadalafil (Cialis) and vardenafil (Levitra).\n\nIf tests confirm that your nervous system hasn't been damaged by diabetes, and there are no associated circulatory problems, there's no reason why your sex life shouldn't recover.\n\nSometimes a little help and support from your partner and doctor is all that's needed.\n\nWhat can be done about sexual problems that are not caused by diabetes?\n\nThis is a sensitive issue, but help is available.\n\nGenerally the most useful first port of call is your family doctor, who can refer you (and your partner) to a psychosexual therapist - or marriage guidance counsellor if this is more appropriate.\n\nTry not to dwell on the fact diabetes can cause sexual problems - just because it can, doesn't mean it will.\n\nAnd if you do experience difficulties, be reassured that nowadays there is a lot of help available.
