I Can't Get It Up And Its Depressing Me. Please Help. by gofigurena: 8:04am On Oct 27, 2021
This is somewhat both a cry and a story but I won't make it long. I got born again when I was fourteen years old. I hadn't had sex then. So, I set out to be really close to God and determined to keep His word to the latter, which also meant I intentionally refused to have sex until I was married. All through those years, I have had no reason to suspect I might have trouble sexually. I get erections watching stuff on TV like the human being that I am, I like girls (meaning I'm not gay, not even close). I mean, I used to joke to myself that my dick gets hard when the wind blows grin. Wham, I'm 35, never been married and still a virgin. And now, the pressure is building, not really to satisfy a sexual urge, but I'm getting this vibe around me like I'm not normal. No one has ever seen a woman come to visit me. I've never had an actual girlfriend. Long story short, I just decided to at least have a sexual experience and get it over with. I mean, I just had to lose my virginity, experience sex even if it's just once and then resume waiting until I'm married. Alas, I'm afraid my protracted abstinence may have had a psychological effect on me (this is the part where I'll be happy to hear your opinion). I actually felt intense fear when the girl was coming over but it quickly passed. She was very very beautiful but I couldn't get it up no matter what she tried. I couldn't believe what was happening to me. I've been very depressed since yesterday when it happened. She stripped completely, pressed herself on me, tried oral, hand, the lots. Nothing worked. I suggested we watch porn together but I just couldn't feel a thing. It was like I couldn't even see what the actors were doing even though I was staring at it so hard and trying to feel it. I do hope this won't turn to something serious. I was so sad, even sadder when the girl remarked that it wasn't her fault because I was hurt even more that she might be feeling guilty somehow. I'm just spilling this here, not knowing exactly what I expect readers to do, but I know real great stuff (like a solid advice) can come from Nairaland. Thanks for reading.

If you must know, I had to do that because I was desperate for an erection. And let me tell you one more thing. A christian is not holier than you in the natural sense. A born again christian is just a man or woman who has embraced the grace of God for their lives. That's all.

I really think it's better I resolve this thing before marriage o. To avoid bringing this mammoth wahala into a marriage. I must hate the woman I'm going to marry to cause her this kind of pain.

You will be fine. Your erection problem is psychological. The first time can be quite embarrassing. You see, that penis has a mind of its own and if it is not ready to "perform" nothing can be done about it.

Fear of committing fornication, performance anxiety,seeing a naked woman live for the first time, stress are all contributing factors.


Next time, you do more of 4play at a very relaxed pace. Try to be very relaxed and don't dive for the hole immediately. Don't watch porns. They are not reality just for entertainment. angry

Your thing is made up of muscles and blood vessles.

It is only obeying law of use and disuse.


You abandon the engine for years and you are wondering why it wont start?


Better go see urologist.

born again watching porn, committing fornication.
Why don't you see a doctor, your mind may be affecting your erection.
Get married too. And stop having illegal sex.

3 helpful things that could be done.

1. Embrace Healthy Habits
When it comes to sexual performance, men must focus more on healthy habits that ensure all-round wellbeing. Eating healthy and exercising regularly are better approaches than relying on erectile dysfunction meds because sexual performance is closely tied to general wellbeing.

2. Manage sexual expectations
Exposure to porn can affect sexual expectations, which can have psychological effects on men. Understand that a lot of what you see in pornography is a properly acted script, sometimes done under the effects of drugs.

3. Communicate with your partner
Speaking with your partner about their preferences and expectations is a lot better. You will be surprised that you can get enough pleasure without drugs by simply doing the exact things your partner needs.

My man, I just thought I should come back here and thank you once again. Yours was the best advice/comment I got from this post last year. And you were absolutely right. The whole thing was psychological. It's amazing how the human mind; soul, body, and spirit are all connected. I had to be at a place psychologically to be able to have sex outside of marriage as a christian. It's a complex situation that I have no doubt you understand, hence, your comment. So, I did succeed at having sex (erection and all) and I've done it a few times between that time and now. I don't even want to think about how much spiritual skin I must have shed to be at a place where I could now talk dirty with a girl, get her to my house, and comfortably have sex with her. You won't understand unless you are a Spirit-filled Christian. I guess I could now say I've achieved my pathetic goals which were to lose my virginity and experience sex, and then the unforeseen goal of establishing my sexual health. It turned out I'm just fine sexually, virile, even. So, now I quit. The Bible was right; 'those who have been born of God do not (make a habit of) sin, because God's seed abides in them,' 1 John 3:9. I just have to go back to God although I may have hurt myself in non-obvious ways than I can I realize right now. But I belong to God, His kingdom is my home, I have nowhere else to go or die. Thank you for your support when I needed it.

I am happy that you turned away from the path of destruction and death the devil had lured you in through fear. Note however that as a true child of God, the devil will still come after you in some more areas that will cause you to trip again except you make up your mind to completely have faith in God and His words.
Never you gamble your life with the devil!
