A man’s erection happens when he gets aroused and his brains order a lot of blood to go to the penis. He gets harder as more blood gets into the blood vessels in that meaty organ – the more the excitement, the more the firmness.


A man’s erection happens when he gets aroused and his brains order a lot of blood to go to the penis.

He gets harder as more blood gets into the blood vessels in that meaty organ – the more the excitement, the more the firmness.

When he ejaculates, the process is reversed until he is aroused again.

Now, sometimes, a man’s erection either doesn’t happen or doesn’t last more than a few seconds.

This can make the sexual experience very frustrating and also cause the man to be frustrated and embarrassed.

In case you are wondering, these are 9 things that can cause weak erection:

Nervousness – a nervous man will find it hard to keep it up. Nervousness may come from fear, inexperience

Stress – a tired man needs rest and when his body is too weak, the heart can't pump enough blood to the organ

Depression – depression is also a major erection killer

Alcohol – too much alcohol adversely affect the penis and erection

Tobacco – smoking too much is not good for your erection

Drugs, or medication – drug, prescribed or not, can also affect erection

Low testosterone – low testosterone levels will manifest in weak libido

Excess body weight – too much fat is also another reason for weak erection

Health issues – ailments like diabetes, heart disease, multiple sclerosis, and other diseases and conditions can affect penile function.

If you suffer these, apart from changing lifestyle – especially with regards to drinking, drugs and alcohol, see a doctor for a solution.

That said, it must be stated that sex is not all about a penis going in and out of a vagina.

You can enjoy the experience sex by knowing how to please your lover without involving the penis.
