Guys aren’t known to talk about their vulnerabilities openly, much less any thoughts of vulnerability in the bedroom. Millions of men across the US struggle with the same problem of staying hard during sex. As a doctor, we are entrusted with patient’s deepest health secrets and hold the responsibility to protect and solve for our brethren. Here, we will discuss the root causes and solutions that restore not just sexual performance but overall well-being.
At Forty Health, the #1 premium American men’s telehealth clinic, we specialize in addressing erectile dysfunction (ED) with proven, science-backed treatments personalized to your needs. With our nationally acclaimed clinical team, we’re here to help you achieve results.
Why Can’t I Stay Hard During Sex?
There is a near epidemic of flaccidity across the US due to various reasons, which can be bucketed into three categories ranging from physical to psychological factors. Let’s break it down:
1. Physical Causes
- Poor Blood Flow: Erections are made of healthy blood engorging and circulating in the compartments of the penis with force. The most common reason for lack of staying hard is due to physical restrictions in that flow of blood (think water not coming out the faucet or going down the pipes smoothly – water being blood, and the faucet or pipes being your penile blood vasculature. Conditions like high blood pressure, diabetes, or high cholesterol can restrict blood flow to the penis, causing a lack of ability to maintain an erection. The two most common etiologies of a restriction are:
- Vascular: Cardiovascular, metabolic syndrome, radiotherapy (think not enough trains at the train station)
- Neurologic: spinal cord and brain injuries, Alzheimer’s, multiple sclerosis (think the traffic signal for the train to move is not working to signal at the train station)
- Tissue: Peyronie’s disease, penile fracture, cavernous fibrosis (think the train tracks at the train station have gotten contorted)
- Low Testosterone Levels: The male hormone testosterone (T) plays a vital role in libido and erectile function. Produced in the testes, one of the functions of T in men is sexual desire management. This is by converting to dihydrotestosterone and directly enabling the 5-alpha reductase enzyme, which is found in the reproductive tract and responsible for vasodilation of blood vessels. Low levels can impact your ability to get or stay hard.
- Medications or Substances: Certain medications, alcohol, or recreational drugs can interfere with your body’s ability to maintain an erection through interference with normal physiological and metabolic functions in the body.
2. Psychological Causes
- Performance Anxiety: Worrying about your sexual performance, especially from a previous traumatic experience, can create a vicious cycle of stress and difficulty staying hard.
- Stress or Fatigue: Emotional or physical exhaustion can take a toll on your sexual performance.
- Relationship Issues: Emotional disconnect or unresolved conflicts can affect intimacy and erections.
3. Lifestyle Factors
- Poor Diet and Exercise: A sedentary lifestyle and poor eating habits can affect overall health and blood flow, leading to ED. This can also cause downstream physical and psychological detriments. Poor diets that consist of heavily processed foods have a higher likelihood of ingestion of known endocrine-disrupting chemicals that interfere with physiologic hormone regulation.
- Smoking: Smoking damages blood vessels globally, which can lead to difficulties in maintaining an erection, and the smaller arteries in the penis, including the pudendal artery, are more susceptible to the damaging factors.
