Almost every man has struggled with performance in the bedroom at some point in his life. Losing an erection during sex is never desirable, but it happens. It is perfectly normal to worry about this, especially if it happens frequently.

It is estimated that 30 years ago, approximately 150 million men worldwide had problems with their sexual performance. This number is expected to more than double by 2025.

In this article, we discuss the common causes of erection loss during sex and offer tips to address the problem.

Why do some men lose their erection during sex?

Losing an erection during sex can be caused by a variety of factors, ranging from psychological issues to physical health problems and lifestyle choices. While experiencing occasional erection problems is normal, persistent loss of erection may indicate a condition called erectile dysfunction. This is the repeated inability to achieve or maintain an erection for satisfactory sexual performance.
Below we highlight some common causes

Physical Causes of Erectile Dysfunction

Problems in the body are often easier to recognize and treat than psychological factors. Some of the main physical causes are:

1. Diabetes

   Erectile dysfunction is common in men with diabetes. Nearly half of all men with type 1 diabetes experience problems. Diabetes can lead to damage to blood vessels and nerves, which affects blood flow to the penis.

2. High blood pressure
   Hypertension (high blood pressure) can damage blood vessels, including the vessels that carry blood to the penis, which can cause erection problems.
3. Overweight
   Obesity can damage blood vessels, lower testosterone levels, and reduce sex drive. It also increases overall inflammation in the body, which can worsen erectile dysfunction.

4. Alcohol, smoking and drug use
   Recreational drug use, including alcohol, is a major factor in erectile dysfunction. Research shows that 62% of alcoholics experience sexual dysfunction.

Psychological causes of erectile dysfunction

In addition to physical causes, mental and emotional factors play a major role. Sexual functioning is as much a mental as a physical experience.

1. Stress
   Stress affects the signals your brain sends to your penis. Personal and professional stress, such as relationship problems or work pressure, can lead to erectile dysfunction.

2. Performance anxiety
   The pressure to perform well can cause anxiety, which negatively affects your erectile function. This often happens when there are high expectations and people are afraid of not being able to meet them.

3. Sleep deprivation and sleep disorders
   Fatigue from lack of sleep or conditions such as sleep apnea increases the risk of erectile dysfunction. Research shows that nearly 70% of people with sleep apnea also suffer from erectile dysfunction.

What can you do to improve your sexual performance?

Improving your sexual performance starts with addressing the underlying causes. Some steps you can take include:

1. Choose a healthier lifestyle

   • Diet : Eat foods that are good for your heart and blood vessels.
   • Exercise : Regular exercise improves circulation and hormone balance.
   • Quit smoking and cut down on alcohol : This will improve your overall health and sexual performance.
     
     

2. Improve foreplay

   Spend more time on intimacy and foreplay. Experiment with positions, sensual touches, and sex toys to increase excitement and arousal. Communicate openly with your partner about what you both like.
   
   

3. Seek help from a therapist
   
   If psychological factors such as stress or anxiety are at play, therapy can help you address them. Discussing your concerns with a professional can boost your self-confidence and improve your mental well-being.
