Q: 

Why can't my boyfriend stay erect?

My boyfriend and I have had a very healthy sex life until recently. We have been watching porn because I wanted to improve my oral sex skills, Now he is only able to hold an erection while getting head or masturbating, As soon as it is time for penetration he goes completely limp and I am so confused as to why. He is very apologetic but that doesn't help anything.

Hi Anonymous,

Thank you for your question. I am unsure why your boyfriend is only having issues during the sexual intercourse portion only of your sexual experience. It wouldn't appear to me that this would be a medical condition such as erectile dysfunction since it only occurs when penetration is necessary. Have you talked to him about it? He is afraid of pregnancy? It may be a personal preference as to why this is occuring.

 

I hope this helps.

It couldn't be a fear of pregnancy because I have had my tubes tied for over 3 years. Thank you for your reply though.
