Erectile Dysfunction
As any glance at your email spam filter will tell you, erectile dysfunction is big business (as is money laundering for deposed Nigerian Princes). A common complaint that will affect many men in their lives, it can be just a one-off occurrence, but for some the problem is long-term. Although you may have a normal sex drive, sufferers fail to achieve or maintain an erection of the penis to enable sex to take place. This can be embarrassing for both you and your partner, leading to plaintive mutterings of ‘but I really do want to do it’. Stress, excessive alcohol consumption, smoking and other conditions such as Peyronie’s disease or a tight foreskin may all be contributing causes, but treatments are available – not through your email inbox – but instead through your GP.

Hi, im 17, about 4 months ago during sex my foreskin split, it healed but ever since, ive been ejaculating sooner than i used to. I dont know what's wrong with me,and it would help if someone could get back to me.
Im unsure if this has anything to do with what everyone else is talking about, but anyway if you can please help, i would be grateful.
i dont know y but 4 the last few years i have had spots on my penis i havent got past snogging a girl so what is it
when i get a erection i produce a awful lot of self lubrication is this normal
I am 34 and have problems reaching a full erection and even then i have problems maintaining it. My girlfriend is very frustatrated and has hinted that she will have to move on soon. I am shattered and dont know what to do. i dont smoke, rarely drink alcohol and my stress level has gone down as i try to relax by going to the gym after work. My GP tells me its ok and its a one-off, and he has prescribed me viagra (not a very strong dose). My self confidence is pretty much dead and i am scared each time my girl makes a move for us to have sex. I am getting increasingly worried that my girlfriend will leave me if things dont change soon. Whats wrong with me?
I have recently discovered that i have erectile dysfunction, could the reason for this be that i am taking ramipril tablets for high blood pressure and what can be done to correct this problem.
