Erectile dysfunction: I'm young and worried

Hi @brayden02, I can see that you are really worried and want to talk to someone who has answers for you. It is unlikely that humping and applying pressure to hard objects when you were a kid would effect your current erectile dysfunction. But I'm not a doctor and I don't know your medical history or current medical status.

@jenatsky might have some thoughts for you.

I recommend that you talk to your doctor about this. Do you have a doctor that you can see alone, without your parents? Are you able to talk to your parents about this and be taken seriously?

@colleen I agree that Brayden needs to bring this up with his parents. He does not drive, his parents would be responsible for billing and probably have to make the appointment. They do not need to be in the exam room.
I don't think I would have been able to have that conversation at 15 or any age, however, young adults are smarter and savvier than my generation.
Hey mom and dad I used to be able to get a boner any time. For some reason, it doesn't seem to be working. Do you think I should see someone? Sounds easy on paper.
While all the replies to this thread are good some seem targeted for a 21 and up individual, not 15. You should see your DR, urologist, pediatrician, etc.

@colleen One thing that I rarely see mentioned, related to ED is pornoghry. Arousal and an erection are heavily dependent on a state of mind. If looking at porn no longer gets you aroused or takes longer and longer then the mental aspect gets duller and duller contributing to ED. It doesn't matter that you are healthy physically.
Sex for a male is a mind game and not an on/off switch.
My two cents.
