My Wiener is Broken
AbsoluteZeroThe new film by Quentin KoopantinoRegistered Userregular
The last two times I have had sex my penis became partially flaccid about 3/4 of the way through. This is a completely new thing for my penis to be doing, and now I'm worried about it. It gets about half-ways deflated or so. The first time it happened it prevented my girlfriend from having an orgasm, on account of it flopping out, which was disheartening for me and I'm sure rather disappointing for her. Today my penis got limpy again during sex, however this time we were both able to finish and have satisfying orgasms.
Now here's all the details I can really divulge about this problem... and this is hard to explain... I'm being stimulated and everything, but it just doesn't feel like I'm in the mood in my mind so to speak. I can still have an orgasm, though.
Anyone have any experiences like this? What can I do?
Most of the time this sort of thing is purely mental. It will go away, you just need to relax and get in the mood more. It is unlikely that your penis is broken. Is this a new girl?
I think it would be a good idea to take a break for a little bit and try to reconect with your girl emotionally/intellectually. If that part of your relationship isnt as developed (i.e. you are just fucking) then you may just be getting bored with the same old thing.
Also if arnt using condoms you are at least using a different type of contraceptive yes? Otherwise you are just playing with a loaded gun.
Have you noticed that you are thinking about something else during sex? A recent stressful situation at school or work can cause this kind of thing, especially if it's an ongoing situation. As mooshoepork said, this is almost always a mental issue.
Stressing about this will certainly not help you, so relax and don't sweat it. ;-)

Are you a Software Engineer living in Seattle? HBO is hiring, message me.
God gave you a brain and a penis, and only enough blood to work one at a time. if you try to think during lovemaking, even if it is about what you are going to do to the woman to turn her on, you will go flaccid quickly. sex is an instinctual act, best to treat it that way.

Bedlam: She's on the pill. I've been with this girl for years and I personally don't feel like there's any kind of emotional disconnect going on. That of course doesn't mean there isn't.
Vitra Theory & JPArbiter: I hadn't thought of that... That might be it. I do put a lot of effort into making sure the both of us proceed at the same pace, so to speak. Maybe I think about it too much... I'll have to try the whole not-thinking approach next time.
Also if you are masturbating regularly, stop, let your hornyness build up more. I find I can't orgasm if I masturbated recently (recently usually meaning within an 8 hour span), it's weird but thats a problem I have had before.

But he's not saying orgasming is the issue, rather, losing his erection is.
This is odd. I've had it happen to me where I think too much, and thus have a very hard time reaching an orgasm, but I still manage to stay erect...and while your situation is kind of the opposite (orgasm, but NOT erect), the whole "thinking too much" thing is the only bit of advice I can come up with. Weird.
That said, I do agree, thinking too much during sex is terrible. Even if you're just thinking about how you're going to make it even better, it's just way too easy for your mind to start wandering. Let's face it, sex is great, but the motions can get repetitive if you don't switch stuff up enough, so a mental lapse is possible.

I'm also leaning toward mental here. Since he is clearly able to get an erection up initially to begin intercourse, and then loses it in the process, that say mental distraction to me. If he weren't able to get it up at all, I'd wonder about meds he's taking, but he is clearly able to get a workable erection going, atleast to start with.
My suggestion? Try a really wild position, and have music going to keep your internal voice from piping up and just go to town!
Also if arnt using condoms you are at least using a different type of contraceptive yes? Otherwise you are just playing with a loaded gun.
My girl and I aren't using any contraceptives. Are we playing with a loaded gun?
AbsoluteZero: How long are you having sex for (duration)? Maybe it's lasting too long for you and your body is just taking a break by now having blood flow down there. Another thought is that maybe you guys aren't doing enough foreplay. Used to be (when I was 18) that I didn't want any foreplay and could just jump right in. Now, nearly a decade later I find I need a little warming up before we get right down to it, otherwise I just have trouble getting in the mood. A little mental stimulation and teasing really makes a more enjoyable experience for me.

What medications are you taking? Anything for depression or baldness?
No, but I could probably use both!
I'm not sure about this. I've got my mind set on trying this whole not-thinking-during-sex stuff... but I'm pretty sure if I did that I'd be finished way before her. Maybe there's some middle-ground that could be found...

Well, some thought IS needed during sex, obviously, but the middle ground is focusing, I'd say. Like I said, for me, personally, I'm prone occassionally to letting myself think about other crap during sex which distracts me; if I can get my mind to focus on "make the both of you feel good, idiot!", then I'm usually good. :P

This is not true.
Seriously people, stop being stupid.

This happens to me. Most of the time it happens when we've been going at it for 1/2 hour or more. Usually, its becomes i'm just too fucking tired, and i'll stop and just fall down next to her. Almost always she makes sure i'm ok. I just "yaya, fucking tired" (no pun intended). I give myself like 5 minutes max (you don't want her to lose her drive) and then i just get back into the groove.
Keep in mind, this (most likely) has nothing to do with being impotent...your prolly just exhausted. Now...if its hapening after 5 minutes...than you might consult a doctor.
Been getting enough exercise? I know I was having a rough time before graduation because I had spent essentially the entire semester with only minimal exercise. Now that I have time to get back in my old groove it feels like I have way more energy and this really shows up in the bedroom.

I'm not on any drugs outside of caffeine and the occasional tylenol. Shit, I haven't even drank since November.
When we have sex, the actual intercourse part only lasts a half an hour, tops. Typically it's about 15-20 minutes or so. I don't think I'm tiring out, because I'm pretty sure I could masturbate for hours if I wanted to.
Just tossing out another idea, but maybe Peyronie's Disease? From what it sounds like, if you can achieve an erection in part of the penis, but the remaining portion remains flaccid, it would be something similar to Peyronies.
me and my girl were having sex about 1-2 times a day. everyday. when this started happening i cooled off for 2 days without sex or masterbation. then proceeded to go at it again and then no problem for about 4 days after.

Although you achieve the same end result, I wouldn't say that sex/masturbation are the same thing.
I'm just going to assume that you get more involved when you're getting it on with another person vs. when you're getting off on your own.
Perhaps you're tiring out?
It seems like you might be stressed about getting off at the same time.
Don't spank it for a few days and see what happens.
I've been in the exact same boat as the OP and while it is horrifying and embarrassing, your dick is not broken. I am quite confident the problem is purely mental, and I second the advice about not thinking about it, which is really hard advice to follow. Like not thinking about polarbears. Losing your errection during sex is like FAILURE CASSCADE that only gets worse the more you think about it.
If you are drinking or using any drugs such as marijuana before the act, try abstaining. I find that if I'm high I tend to 'jump inside my own mind' a little too much and can quickly find myself spiraling down the FAILURE CASSCADE.

Are we talking about intercourse where both partners climax?
Maybe try more of a jackhammer method? I.e, fast and hard?
I've had pretty limited experience with actual intercourse (only once, actually), but with other forms of stimulation, I could definitely get bored and lose my drive to some extent. I've found that I personally seem to prefer the fast, intense kind of stimulation that results in satisfaction for both partners, but just a lot sooner. Maybe try this, at least for some variety? Or, alternatively, less foreplay?
Additionally, what everyone is saying about cutting back on wanking/sex is true. I masturbate a lot. Like, a ridiculous amount. If I go for a full day without, this is extraordinary. And I find that my erections after a nice break are much more potent.
I guess to just add some more evidence to the "you're going too long" argument, I used to be on Adderall XR, which had a wonderful side effect of allowing me total control over self-stimulation. I could masturbate for hours, and do some practically Tantric thing of staying just on the verge of climax the whole time. And despite the stimulation, I'd go half-flaccid after about 20 minutes. Sometimes I'd lose my erection entirely, and really have to work to get it back. I think at some point the penis just gets "tired"?

This is ferociously true.
I discovered this a number of years ago, and I deliberately take extended (3-5 days) breaks with no sexual release at all (sexual or personal) after a period of regular sexual activity, and by the time the break is over, I'm ready to rumble like you wouldn't believe.
Just don't take TOO long of a break, or you'll pop inside of 10 minutes.

Are we talking about intercourse where both partners climax?
Yes. When you learn what all the buttons do, Mission Control will let you launch into a steady geosynchronous orbit without a lot of pre-flight testing.
If you just hit your mid twenties, and are say on that uphill slope of 26-29 ish, what you're experiencing is totally and completely normal. Things just don't work the same as they may have a decade ago, your body chem changes. Eat right, exercise, drink a lot of water. There is no all-out cure for age.
If you're 18, go see a doc, cuz that ain't right. At your sexual peak it could mean a heart problem.
Are we talking about intercourse where both partners climax?
Yep, that is my experience. If you're enjoying it the whole time though, by all means. Go for the moon. I just wanted you to know that there's nothing abnormal about "losing interest" after that much gettin' busy. Not in my opinion anyway.

Shit, a heart problem? I'm 22... that's smack dab in the middle between 18 and 26.
As for having sex for extended periods, we have to. It takes at least 15 to 20 minutes of sex for my girlfriend to climax, regardless of how much foreplay, and that's on a good day. When I was younger this was never a problem, though.

You don't HAVE TO, stupid. Why don't you try getting off as quickly as you can, for once......what is called a quickie. If she doesnt have an orgasm one time its not the end of the world.

Yeeeeeah.... one time I lost it after like 5 minutes on accident and she got super pissed. I don't think she'd ever agree to such a thing. Hell, anytime we have sex and she doesn't have an orgasm she gets all pissy...
Hmmm....perhaps there is a bit of fear of disappointment going on here. You feel like you have to please her and your body is responding oddly because you would like pleasure to be a natural part of the process and not the end goal of the whole experience: i.e. you feel like you have to constantly keep her orgasm in mind and that it is something that occurs due to a contrived effort and not the natural motion of sex for the two of you.
Too much science in the process.
Perhaps, and this is one of those "this is how I operate" moments, you should try something entirely new with the effort of blowing her entirely away and just forget about yourself. By that I mean, If you go soft after a little while keep her going by similar means using finger/tongue/objects. It may keep you up if you feel like she is getting off and perhaps you'll enjoy each other a bit more if you don't feel like your penis needs to be quite involved in the entire process.

If your allergies are acting up, or if you're taking some new meds, try discontinuing use or trying something else. Works for me.
