I am 18, physically active and healthy, never had erectile issues since one time i couldnt get it up due to alcohol, since then my libido died and anytime i masturbated was to check if i can get an erection. If i couldnt get one (most likely due to anxiety) i would start overthinking and make my situation worse. I also noticed that when im laying down or sitting, i get erections much faster and i can maintain them easily, but the moment i stand up it becomes semi hard and just much harder for me to get it fully erect or maintain it. What could cause this? I never realized i had this problem before or maybe it started because of my overthinking? Im worried that i wont be able to stay erected during sex in different positions
I would say it’s because you’re overthinking. Don’t jump to conclusions and think you got any problems you can’t fix because trust me I’ve been there. It’s not worth beating yourself up like I did, it will only cause problems in the future. Because it happened once, you know overthinking it and have low confidence leading to a lower arousal/libido. The fact you’re even noticing you go soft right away is telling me you’re thinking about it as soon as you switch. When you’re thinking about it, you stand no chance. Don’t worry or think you have a problem, start focusing on just the sensations and not if you’re hard or not, and keep doing the practices in this app, I promise you’ll be able to fix your problems in no time.

Keep up with the pelvic floor and breathing exercises. I can’t believe the levels it’s unlocked. However it’s slow and takes consistent repetition and accepting of the starting point.

Yeah big thing is to understand it’s normal, I think there was a study that 50% of men under 25 face this issue so don’t feel too bad. That’s why apps like this make money after all hahaha there really isn’t a secret to it honestly, it’s pretty straight forward overthinking or dead grip jerking off more likely since your penis is not being stimulated while changing positions indicating it may need constant stimulation. Try laying in bed, jerk it, and see how long you can keep a rock hard erection without touching yourself. If you can’t do it for long you need to retrain death grip syndrome with slow edging, different textured oils, and cutting down to 2-3 times a week
