Hey all... Slight problem here.

Hello everyone. I've been lurking around this site a little bit over the past few months, just gathering tidbits of information, and most of the tips/advice on here seems very well thought out. However, I have recently run into a problem...

When I started checking out this site, it was because I noticed that I wasn't lasting as long in bed as I used to. So, I started edging and kegeling for "exercise", and using some breathing techniques during actual intercourse. I started seeing some improvements fairly quickly, and was quite happy about it. However, in the past few weeks or so, I have been having a different issue... It has become more difficult for me to get it up. And when I do, my erection is not as "strong" as it used to be, and goes soft very easily during sex. Once it does this, getting it back up is nearly impossible. This is quite frustrating, as I started dating a new girl shortly before this problem began. So the first few times we had sex were great, but now I'm having these problems, and it's very worrisome to me. Any idea what may be the cause of this? Thanks.

PS: I tried ballooning, but like many people on here (it seems), I cannot find a "magic spot" that arouses me enough to make me hard. I've even tried getting myself hard by masturbating, and then trying to find a spot, but no matter what I try, I can't maintain an erection just by rubbing one spot.

Age, health, drink, smoke, depression?

do you watch porn? If so, stop. Try to cut back on masturbation and cumming to less then once a week, the less you cum, the better your erections will get..

Welcome to the gym Rocket man,
When did you start exercising and do you do anything else besides edging and kegeling? A loss in EQ could be a sign of overtraining... Did you significantly increase your kegel workout recently? A tired PC muscle would definitely lead to ED too...
Stress and anxiety could also be an issue as you said that the problem began shortly after you started to date the girl.
If your answer is yes to the question above, I suggest that you take a break from exercising. In any case, there are here informations about supplements that should help you in increasing your EQ:

Scissor: I'm 32. I've been a smoker for the past 3 years, but have recently (about a month ago) started tapering off... I'm down from about a pack a day, to about half a pack a week (or less). I do smoke pot, but only right before I go to bed, to help with my insomnia, and never if I'm with my girl. I think my health is average. I don't have the healthiest diet, but I'm 6' tall and 155 lbs, and have no outstanding symptoms that would indicate any serious health problems. I do drink a decent amount... I rarely ever drink enough to get wasted anymore (cut back significantly after my DUI last August), but I do drink about 3 or 4 nights a week. As far as depression, I wouldn't say I've been any more or less depressed over the past month (since this has been happening) than normal. Although, this new problem of mine isn't exactly making me jump for joy. haha.

Fluxo: I used to watch a lot of porn videos on the net. But after lurking around here and reading a bunch, I stopped watching videos, but continued to look at nude pictures (but nothing graphic), because, what can I say?... Naked chicks are hot. haha. After I posted my original message last night, I looked around some more, and wound up at that "Your Brain On Porn" site. I have now decided to (try to) give up the porn completely. I was edging pretty frequently - 4 or 5 times a week for like 45 minutes to an hour each time - for the past few months. And, of course, at the end of each edging session, I would let myself cum. So I guess I should stop letting myself cum at the end of my edging sessions?

Normal: I've been edging as stated above for the past few months. Kegeling is one of those things that just slips my mind, so sometimes I'll forget, and go days without doing it. And sometimes I'll do it a few days in a row. But since I'm a beginner, I don't feel I kegel excessively. Each time, I'll just do maybe a set of 15-20, holding each one for about 8 seconds. Those are the only exercises I've been doing so far, as I'm just starting out and didn't want to over-train. Though I have tried ballooning on a few occasions, and like I said above, I can't find any type of "magic spot". As far as stress from dating the new girl, I suppose that could be part of it. She is extremely cute, which I know can be somewhat intimidating... But I don't FEEL any extra stress, and everything was fine in the beginning. I'll be sure to check out the tea and the five Gs very soon.

Thanks so much everybody.
