There are many potential causes for erection problems, ranging from mental health and nutrition to your own or your partner’s behavior. Try to identify what might be affecting you and see which of the following tips could work for you:

• Good Foreplay: Take your time with foreplay, as it can be very enjoyable for both partners. Consider indulging your partner using your hands and/or mouth. Focusing on your partner’s pleasure can be arousing for you as well, and it takes the pressure off needing to maintain an erection.
• Healthy Lifestyle: Managing stress, staying active, and eating a balanced diet are essential for a healthy libido and erections. On the other hand, smoking and consuming excessive sugar are detrimental to your erectile health.
• Foods for Better Erections: Bananas, nuts, salmon, coffee, red wine, garlic, and red peppers can positively impact blood flow and testosterone levels. Remember, moderation is key—especially when it comes to coffee and wine.
• Extra Stimulation: There are various ways to add extra stimulation to the penis or brain, such as using vibrating toys, cock rings, or watching erotic movies. However, be mindful that excessive exposure to porn, particularly hardcore genres, can desensitize you to "regular" sex and make it harder to become aroused.
• Positions: The best positions for maintaining an erection are the missionary position and doggy style, as these facilitate better blood flow to the penis compared to positions where the woman is on top.
• Practicing Erection Control: You can practice controlling your erection by masturbating and pausing intermittently, allowing your penis to become flaccid before starting again. Focus on the sensation of arousal, and you’ll gradually learn to control and sustain your erection.
• Choosing the Right Condom: If you tend to lose your erection while using a condom because it feels too loose, too tight, or doesn’t provide enough sensation, try experimenting with different sizes, brands, or types. Studies have shown that with a properly fitting condom, the sensation is almost indistinguishable from not wearing one. Read more about how to determine your condom size here.
• Communicate Your Preferences: If your partner does something you dislike or that makes you uncomfortable, it can cause you to lose your erection. Conversely, being clear about what you enjoy helps your partner better maintain your arousal.
• Practice Putting on a Condom: If you lose your erection while putting on a condom, practice this process. The faster and more smoothly you can put it on, the less distracting it will be during sex.
