Getting it up

Hey there. I'm 18, and I've been sexually active for a year or two now. I'm a fairly healthy guy. I have a good diet, and though I am a vegetarian, I eat lots of foods to make up for the potential  lack of protein.

Well my current girlfriend of 9 months and I have reached the point where we've started having sex, and it's pretty damn great...about 50% of the time. But half the time, I have some trouble. I either can't get it up, it takes really long, or I'll get an erection and lose it during the sex.
Can anyone help me? I don't think it's E.D., as I do successfully get it up about half the time.
Please help. It's really freaking me out.

My boyfriend and i have been together about 2 years now and we havent had sex in about 2 months. I cant take it much longer although i love him alot. We never had sex for 4 months when we got together and its because he has e.d.
i just want to know of a way we can have a great sex life, because i really want mine back.
Hes been to the doctors and they have said its psycological. Yet hes never been interested in sex with me and told me he doesnt enjoy it or want sex with me at all. HE never gets horny. Also, when we have sex its not great, hes not very adventurous and we never have spontanious sex which is what i really want.
What can i do?
i have felt like cheating but this is the person i want to be with for the rest of my life.

yeah man, i'm experiencing the same thing right now... i love girls, its all i can think about, but sometimes i feel strssed or rushed, so foreplay really helps in that sence...i'm also on medication for chronic pain, which i know doesn't help me down there but like i said, get into foreplay as to help keep yourself focused....good luck

You know, I think you have something there. The first time we had sex, I had trouble as I was nervous and cold. Damn cold down in my basement. I suppose it could be a mental block. And I am on some medications.
Thank you! I really appreciate that.

For some men this is very common. I would say you may need to slow things down and include a lot more forplay or if you are on medication, that could be a problem too. You may need to take notes on when you have the problems and how you were feeling at the time. Such as were you rushed, or were you tired. One failed attempt, could make you start feel presure to preform and it can have the opposite effect. Mental blocks play a big part in preformance.
