Weak Erections

Is there a Cure?

Reader Question

Dr. Mia, I have weak erections even though I'm turned on by my girlfriend. Do you know of a cure for soft erections?

Mia Says....

Soft erections are the result of either physical or emotional health issues. See your doctor to eliminate any physical problems first, then look at life style factors, such as smoking or eating a high-fat diet which can cause arteries and veins to restrict, as well as reduced blood flow.

I suggest you try a cock ring. Erections are brought on by blood rushing into the caverns inside your penis known as the "corpa cavernosa." These two chambers fill up with blood, engorging your penis with enough fluid to make it very hard and stand upright. Erection rings work by helping you maintain the blood in your hard-on. Once you've achieved a full erection, you put a tightening ring around the base of your erection. By tightening the ring around the base of the hard penis, blood is effectively contained in the penis which will maintain it's full strength.

If your weak erections are caused by psychological issues such as performance anxiety, you do have the power to increase your erection strength with mindfulness exercises. These exercises are wonderful to help you perk up the quality of your erection. The goal is to help you learn how to create an erotic focus in all parts of your body – not just the sensations in your penis. Orgasm is optional.

Regular exercising of the pelvic floor muscles in men is also important to improve quality of erection and control of ejaculation.
