Losing erections while on my back

I’ve had this issue with a few different girls now and it’s very frustrating. Once a girl wants to get on top, I almost completely lose my erection. The girl I’m with right now is ridiculously hot but i can’t help that it just goes down (fast). It probably doesn’t help that I can’t get off too easily, but I can atleast maintain an erection in other positions. Any thoughts on this guys? Comments/opinions are appreciated!

First of all we need to find out if the same thing happens when your comfortable, alone and masturbating lying on your back. Then we can see if it’s a mental or physical/blood flow problem.

It’s funn you ask that b/c i tested that last night. When I lay down completely flat I can watch my erection decrease as I try to masturbate.

I am having the same problem. How is your physical condition ? I believe, at least in my case, that it’s related to lack of aerobical conditioning.

I’m in extremely great shape. I have a low bf % and do at minimum 20 minutes of cardio after my workouts each day. I do a mixture of powerlifting/bodybuilding (have been the past 9 years).

I have had this same problem too. Also in good shape :s

There is some good news behind all of this. I was told I was her biggest ever which helped quite a bit :) . In addition to this, I’m following the “death grip” procedure to get rid of this problem (along with taking a while to get off). I’m also upping the l-arginine I use in my diet from 1g a day to 3 or 4. Hope to provide some feedback/help this next weekend!

I presume you mean you’re following the procedure to not use ‘death grip’?

I can only recommend a fleshlight, I only use those for masturbation now, and I manage to come most of the time with my gf now.

If you have any problem with your Erection Quality, then you’ve got to understand it’s not so much because it’s on your back as it is about the fact that your dick isn’t healthy enough. I could give you various theories or possible solutions, but ultimately where you go is up to you. Just face the facts so that you can move forward. :)

I have this problem a little too. I keep the erection, but it just doesn’t feel quite as throbbing when I’m lying back. I think it’s just gravity. My penis also has a mild downwards n curve, don’t know if that contributes to it.

I’ve had this problem for a while, too. I’d love to figure out a solution so I don’t have to do most of the work all the time!

It sounds like something weak.

When you get an erection the blood vessels in your copora cavernosa becomes relaxed and this allows blood to flow in, and the vessels that carry out the blood retract (tighten up) to prevent any from leaving. It may be that those blood vessels that are suppose to tighten up are weak. There are a couple possible reasons for this here. It could be that your routine is too much for you right now, or it could be because of a medical condition.

Are there any ways or exercises to strengthen the blood vessels that are supposed to tighten?

That was just speculation on my part, I’m not a doctor on these matters. Only thing I can think of is re-examining your PE routine because it may be too much for a person to do. Supplements that show benefits to penile health may help as well. It is pretty odd that an erection starts to subside when laying on your back though…then again everyone is different.

I’m not comfortable with her on top?!
