Question:
My girlfriend and I usually make love more then once in a day but lately I've been having a weird problem with my erection. U see before, after the first time we were making love my penis would become erect easily to do it again after less then an hour but now something weird is happening. We can do it once but I'm having problem maintaining my erection or having one if we wan do it one more time. Its pretty weird because we used to do it like several times in a row and now all of a sudden I have this weird thing happening can u please help me?

Well, what's happening is not weird. After a man 'comes' the penis usually does become limp and it usually takes a while for it to become erect again. Having a second or more erections in a session is not what many men can do. However some men can get more erections in a day, but it is seen that as you become older, this ability to have multiple orgasms decreases. Because you are not that 'old', what your body and mind probably need now is a little rest. Also, do regular exercise and be as fit as possible….it will help you. Final piece of advice ….never overdo anything, for example, if you eat pizzas everyday for breakfast, lunch and dinner you will develop a distaste for it. You may have sex for more time but having it many times in a single day on a regular basis may be injurious in the long run. Read "The New Male Sexuality" by Dr. Bernie Zilbergeld. It covers a lot of general topics and is worthwhile reading for men and women. 'The Sexual Male. Problems and Solutions' by Milsten and Slowinski is another book that would address your question.
