What Causes Lack Of Prolonged Erection?

I'm 35 yr old, 5.6", 101kg with no history of major illnesses like high blood pressure or hypertension. I find it very hard to maintain an erection when I spread my legs in a kneeling position, but I have no problem when my legs are closed. Is this normal?

Dear user,
Thanks for writing to Healthcaremagic.
I got your concern regarding inability to maintain erection in kneeling position. You can maintain it otherwise.
Sexual activity (intercourse) in certain positions may cause back pain, neck pain or pelvic discomfort. It may last for hours to days. This occurs due to musculoskeletal reasons. This also causes diminished erection. This is normal.
Kindly go for positions in which both of you are comfortable. You may search on internet for this.
Wish you good health.
