What Could Cause Problems In Maintaining Erection?

My boyfriend is 65 and he has problems getting and maintaining an erection. We a have only been together for 5 months and sexually we are both aroused extremely, but the lack of erection means that penetrative sex is very infrequent, this is disappointing for us both.

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. Your boy friend is 65. Naturally there could be many health related problems. Erectile dysfunction (ED) or impotence is sexual dysfunction characterized by the inability to develop or maintain an erection of the penis during sexual activity. The most important organic causes are cardiovascular disease and diabetes, neurological problems (for example, trauma from prostatectomy surgery), hormonal insufficiencies (hypogonadism) and drug side effects. Psychological factors also contribute. I suggest you to ask your friend to consult a physician first.

If you require more of my help in this aspect, please use this URL. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Make sure that you include every minute details possible.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck. Take care.
