Question:
I have an incredible relationship with my fiancé and our sex life has been just as incredible. Until recently, last week for the first time my penis could did not achieve maximum erection and since then I can not seem achieve one anymore. The problem is not her appearance, she is the most beautiful women I know; even to this day I get erections just by hearing sweet voice, it just does not achieve the same strength as before. I do not smoke, I drink very, very lightly, and I exercise regularly. I was abstinent for years before I met her, we made love 3-7 a week when our relationship was new (about 1yr ago) and for the last few months we have been making love multiple times daily.

What you describe is a fairly stable, and predictable pattern that suddenly changed. What I would ask you if I could talk to you, would be if you had any recent illness, or any major changes in your life, something that has happened out of the ordinary, or perhaps something some time ago, that may have recently brought back some memories, an anniversary or something? You said in your history that you have been sick, and that you feel you are under stress. These could most certainly be contributing factors, or even a short term cause. If not, the only other possible explanation may be to do with your reproductive system or waterworks. If this has only occurred once and you have gone back to normal, then I wouldn't worry too much. But if it happens again, and/or you are concerned - please go and see a physician, who will be able to take a more thorough history, give you a physical examination, and do any necessary tests to rule out any infections or diseases. Best Wishes, Melissa BEE
