Hey Doc JD,

Q: submitted by Monk

I'm having a very difficult time maintaining an erection with my girlfriend. My erections when I'm with her are just not very hard, and they go away when I put a condom on. This has not happened before, and I think I'm too young to be goin impotent, but yeh, any advice? I dont seem to have trouble getting hard when viewing porn. And I have not had this problem in the past with other women. And it's not like my gf is ugly either, because she's really hot, and there's nothing I'd want to do more than to just be able to perform! I don't know what it is. Please help, thanks.

not to worry monty. this is a very common problem. not to mention the whole jimmy situation never helps anything...those damn things are really annoying. so...the first part of your problem can be attributed to the jimmys but you have to wear those and there is nothing you can do about that. with that in mind, lets try and tackle another possible problem. my first clue to the problem you might be having is that you have never encountered this erection problem before and that you are young. i think that pretty much rules out the possibility of an actual medical condition. this problem seems to be a mental barrier of sorts. i think that although your girlfriend may be "hot" she simply might not turn you on. this happens all the time...you get a hot chik but she just doesn't have that certain something that makes you want to bend her over and stick your hot poker in her ass. here is a perfect example. who would you rather bang. cindy crawford or shannon elizabeth from apple pie. cindy crawford may be a supermodel and very pretty but i am pretty sure that most of you would want to toss shannon elizabeth's salad if you know what i mean. i think you girlfriend needs to turn up her slut factor just a bit. try having her bang 3 black guys in front of you...that will probably make you see her in a more sexual way. just kidding....try something like watching a porno with her or finding something that turns her on. i think if you can find a little bit more sexual energy in her you johnson will pay a little more attention. if none of this works and you truly find her sexy then you could be just psyching yourself out. getting a woody is a natural thing and as soon as you start trying to "make" one happen you can pretty much be sure that there is going to be no erection action. this is why you have no problems getting an erection while watching a porno. your are just chillin'...no stress situation waiting for your favorite chik to rub one out to. if you think you might be psyching yourself out and you need to get throught this slump i would suggest getting some viagra off one of the viagra sites. DISCLAIMER...i am NOT a doctor (ok...maybe of love) and you should see a real doctor before taking something like viagra....so don't sue me if you take the shit your dong falls off. i think you should give some of the things i mentioned above a try and if things don't turn "up" i think you should consider the fact that your g/f just does not turn you on. hope this helps and be sure to let us know how things go.
