    It would probably be wise for him to go to the Dr and have a physical.

    Do you or him put a lot of pressure to have sex, be hard, etc? Sometimes that is the worst enemy. If he's putting a lot of pressure on himself, willing himself to get and stay hard, then that is a sure fire way to make it not happen.

    Have a long understanding talk. Try to do other things sexually that do not lead to penetration for a while, see how it goes.

      Yes, I agree. He should probably see his doctor. Is he on any medications? Stressed out? Under a lot of pressure. All of these could have an impact.

        If he had a wet dream, he probably doesn't have any major physical problems. The problem is most likely psychological. He may be putting you on a pedestal and being intimidated. Spend a lot of time hugging and kissing, preferably naked. After a while he should become less intimidated or anxious.

          There are so many things that it could be. It could be cardiovascular fitness- Low Free testosterone- Stress- excessive porn use.
          Does he wake up with erections- testosterone is higher in the morning.
          Try jns hugging and kissing suggestion-especially in the morning-maybe some regular massage sessions as well.
