Erection issues when laying on back

Hey all,

Im struggling to have/keep erections when laying on my back. Both when having sex with a partner and when masturbating. Does anyone know whether this is something psychological or can be an issue with blood flow etc?

Yeah, I can masturbate on my back, but partnered sex it is difficult for me while Iโ€™m on my back. Which is too bad because I love seeing my partner on top of me. I think it has to do with gravity, blood flow. We canโ€™t do it more reliably from that position, certainly not as we get older :sweat_smile:

Iโ€™ve been thinking to ask my partner to try the position but not actually put it inside. But to play while weโ€™re in that position. Might be just what Iโ€™m looking for to be able to experience it with her and feel that closeness while in that position without the pressure of having the right rigidity to my erection to make that position viable.

That, and/or been thinking to try a cock-ring, which may help maintain blood flow in my erection for such a position.

But otherwise, yeah, my reliable positions for maintaining the blood are positions, standing firmly on my feet.

I heard eating nitric oxide rich foods can help with the inner ventricular health, and the valves that are supposed to keep the blood in the erection.

Try to squeeze your abdomen, so the blood stays on your pelvic area.
Eat food rich in nitrates like beet root, leafy greens, celery.
Hope this work for you!
