Why do men lose their erections or can't get off during sex sometimes?

Have any men ever lost their erection during sex but they were genuinely attracted and turned on by the girl? If so, why would this happen? Should a female feel inadequate if a man loses his erection or cannot get off with her during sex?

  • It's the same thing if i asked if a girl didn't 'get off' during sex, it doesn't mean that it didn't feel good or wasn't pleasurable it can be a number of things.

    My girlfriend and i were having sex every day and i found it hard to get off because of numerous things, one being the medication i was on at the time for depression and also the depression it self doesn't help. It doesn't mean that he isn't sexual aroused by you, trust me i was so into my girlfriend at the time and i hated myself for not being able to get off during intercourse it gave me blue balls and made her feel as if she wasn't able to please me. I can't speak for every male but if i'm really tired as well i find it hard to sustain an erection, say i just got off of work and she wanted to have sex, there were times were i couldn't reach climax and she felt bad. For myself it's more about getting her off than myself, it always feels good needless to say and in the case that i did orgasm myself it was just that much better.

  • lots of reasons why this can happen
    1. anxiety
    2. dulled senses or ability to focus (as can happen with alcohol)
    3. certain prescription drugs
    4. dehydration
    5. exhaustion
    6. a distracted mind
    7. perhaps overuse of porn or masturbation

    I'm sure there are other reasons but those are a few

  • I haven't, but this could be anxiety / nervousness.

    No, they shouldn't because almost always its the person with the erections mental problem they need to work out on their own.

  • Most likely it is from too much masterbation and porn, and then the real thing doesn't give them the visual stimulation they now need.

  • Could be a lot of things. Too much alcohol, medication, stress can all effect a guys erection.

  • Usually after you cum you lose erection. I don't recall losing erection ever for any other reasons but I guees it could be possible to lose it if you dislike something a lot not sure why in that case if things are how you say

  • The older I get the longer I go. Sometimes I just don't cum but it has nothing to do with the girl
