Unable to maintain firm erection as a teenager

Posted by idk10 @idk10, 2 days ago

I'm 17 years old, and have being preparing for a competitive exam for almost 2 years now due to which my whole life has become sedentary. Also I started to masturbate a little more than usual few months ago, 1 or 2 times a day for 4-5 days a week. And now I'm unable to maintain a firm erection. I do get hard and am able to ejaculate but I don't get fully erect without touching it and when I remove my hand from it, it again goes back to mild erect. I'm really scared, and I can't go to an doctor without my parents right now and I can't tell this to them.

First, I wanna say you’re very brave and courageous to share your current situation. Second., your answer is really easy if you’re still attending school just see the school medical staff. They only contact your parents if your life is in danger. You’re pretty much treated like an adult at your school Clinic . I hope everything works out and that you get all the grades you strive for.

Go to a doctor (specialist, not just any MD) and start there. Good luck.

Can you tell your parents you're having an embarrassing issue and need to see a doctor? If not, can you say something vague like "I think I need to see the doctor because I haven't been feeling right for awhile." Most parents don't go into the doctor's examining room with they teenage kids.
