10 Reasons He Can't Get Hard

10 Reasons He Can't Get Hard

Whether we like to admit it or not, our friend downstairs doesn't always do what it's told.

Ladies, you can be butt naked wearing nothing but that little lace get up we love, but sometimes we can't "rise" to the ocassion.

Don't panic, you didn't do anything wrong. It's most likely not your fault. I'm sure he's very much attracted to you and turned on by you.

Don't be insulted or offended, here are a few reasons he can't get it up or hard for that matter.


1. Stage Fright

10 Reasons He Can't Get Hard

You might be too hot to handle. He might be a little nervous and his insecurities and/or anxieties could be psyching him out.


2. Too Much Masturbation

10 Reasons He Can't Get Hard

A boyfriend that watches porn and masturbates isn't a problem, but when he does it too frequently, it can affect your sex life. Have him lay off the porn and the masturbating for a while, so his libido can bounce back and be ready for you.


3. Fatigue & Exhaustion

10 Reasons He Can't Get Hard

Lack of sleep = lack of sex drive. Let your boyfriend get some rest and then he'll be able to give you his best.


4. Stress

10 Reasons He Can't Get Hard

Are you stressing him out? Or maybe he has a lot going on at work or stuff that you don't know about. Plus, if his stress is stopping him from getting hard for you, he’ll probably be even more stressed out about the fact that he can’t get hard!


5. Whiskey Dick

10 Reasons He Can't Get Hard

Drinking in moderation is fine, but when your man drinks too much, the toxins from the alcohol that his liver couldn’t break down make their way to other parts of his body, including his dick. You two will have to wait until the morning, hopefully minus the hangovers. So much for drunken sex...


6. Recreational Drugs or Certain Medications

10 Reasons He Can't Get Hard

Marijuana amongst other recreational drugs can inhibit an erection. Anti-depressant medications to even over-the-counter cold medicines can make it hard to get hard, no pun intended.


7. Guilt

10 Reasons He Can't Get Hard

Big or small, he might have a guilty conscience about something...


8. Relationship Problems

10 Reasons He Can't Get Hard

If you guys fight all the time, aren't on the same page, or all you do is complain about him; he isn't going to be motivated or encouraged to be intimate with you.


9. He's Just Not "Up" For It

10 Reasons He Can't Get Hard

Despite the horny stereotype... Yes it happens, on a rare occasion we sometimes just aren't horny. Just like you, he sometimes is just not in the mood.


10. Serious Health Conditions

10 Reasons He Can't Get Hard

Erectile problems are sometimes tied to serious health concerns, i.e. diabetes, heart disease, thyroid problems, etc.


10 Reasons He Can't Get Hard

Don’t take it personally that he can't get hard at the moment. Instead just start touching yourself and that should get you BOTH up for it.

  • The worst part is that while this guy is worried about not satisfying his girl, she adds more stress by making it about her and saying "He thinks I'm ugly"

Most Helpful Girl

  • Or number 11 he just find you ugly. Wish I could say I was a stranger to that.

  • I am a real fan of this. the double standard that men are supposed to always want sex no matter what hurts both genders. Men feel like they have to perform to be a man, even if really don't and women feel that if we don't want sex, it is their fault for not being attractive enough. This is one gender role I have no problem of dropping.

  • I'm sorry but if you can't get it up (with exceptions to health problems) then you are weak. Mentally and (maybe) physically weak.

    PIED (porn induced erectile dysfunction) happens when you watch too much porn that it unwires your brain and messes with it. You become attracted to pixels stimulation, not real life natural stimulation. If you are constantly watching porn to the extend of having erectile dysfunction, then I urge you to find a job/hobby ASAP.

    Anxiety? Really? That's not a very good excuse, infact I'm sure your girl will be very upset about it. Making love is when you start pouring out your affections, you have sex because you want to make love and show her your affections & vice versa... Don't view it as a performance. Take it relaxed and calm.

    He's not up for it? Yes that may happen at times where you don't feel like sex but it can't go to the extent on not getting hard when your girl is naked in front of you. Unless you're suffering from extreme trauma or exhaustion... This shouldn't happen.

    • Well if you are 18 you probably have no clue on about half of these.

    • Guess I'm in for quite a surprise then

    • this kid is going places. Not the best places, but places... Seriously though, he's in for one hell of a mean reality check, and it'd be fun as hell to have it on tape to see his reaction.

    • Show All
  • Take that flaccid inside, he'll get hard.

    That take is so true. 💯%

  • it still would hurt my feelings :(

  • Well, this makes me feel a whole lot better.

    • Why does it makes you feel better?

  • 11- Because you're repulsive :P

    • Sometimes the obvious still has to be said.

  • I never had whiskey dick. I also have many more muscle contractions, even before ejaculation, than I used to. Maybe it's a curse, maybe it's not. Ha Ha Sex is better drunk especially with FWB's. Oh wait. that's all I ever had. Hopefully I'll be in love with somebody, and get married, someday. If not, I might never have sex, again. That's cool. I don't need anything from a woman.

  • i like the ending

  • What? My stuff takes the night off once in a while? Happens. Face it sometimes I'm not in the mood.

  • My 20 year old boyfriends dick does this a lot. He even goes soft during sex... :/

    I feel like it's my fault or something.

    • It's not. You both should look into it.

  • 11-because his dick hates condoms :(

    • Lol, I have had that happen to be before. Put it on and goes what wait a hell no.

  • I've never had problems concerning my erection. How often does this happen to other guys?

  • I dont know about this but i personally get hard even reading 3 dirty words.

  • Yes I think I should give my little friend a rest for a week at least... I have Been masturbating almost once everyday...

    And my little friend is her not in the mood... Haahhah

  • My man get insatiably ROCK hard when he's drunk, bigger than when he's erect sober. Had to get a morning after pill last week because he was so aggressive he tore two condoms back-to-back while really drunk. Couldn't even walk straight without falling over, but he was sure able to put both my legs to sleep from how long he went and how hard he was hitting it...

    • Lol! What?

    • Ok why the downvote? I was only saying that #5 is NOT true! Most guys are unaffected by alcohol. I posted a survey after reading this take.
