My dear Erection, I can empathize with your plight to a degree you could not imagine. Your predicament is shared by countless others and they are just as unhappy as you. The only thing worse than the interruption of orgasm is others’ criticism about your sexual virility. What it comes down to is that you can’t force yourself to have sex.

First of all, I would urge you to seek professional medical assistance; your medical health practitioner would be able to better identify some health problems I cannot. It has been long thought that impotence was caused by anxiety, but now we relate causes of this embarrassing state of existence to cardiovascular problems such as high blood pressure and clogged arteries. Certain foods, such as meat or dairy which have been treated with estrogen can cause a suppression of testosterone, which would contribute to your
lack of infinite arousal.

However, before seeing your doctor, I would recommend trying something else: stop the random hook-ups and examine your reasons for engaging in them. When I engage in random hook ups, sexual
satisfaction is usually not my reason for doing so, although it is a pleasant benefit.

I notice that you say it doesn’t matter where you meet people or what kind of people they are. This, my friend, is an extremely dangerous attitude, especially in the cases of hook-ups online or at the club. The danger in random hook-ups is that you don’t know who you are sleeping with, whether they have a disease, or even if they intend to hurt you. Perhaps it’s the thrill of hook-ups that makes them so alluring.
Or maybe you do it because it’s an easy way to establish intimate contact with another human being. I would have to conclude that the risks involved in hooking up with strangers outweighs the benefits. But then again, this statement makes me a hypocrite.

Now, as for tips on how to keep an erection. First, try sleeping with people you are actually attracted to. It does matter who these people are, even if you don’t want to admit it. Second, go buy a cock-ring and see if that will sustain you. They are designed to keep blood in the shaft of the penis. However, be careful with it because if you cinch it too tightly in an act of desperation, it might cut off circulation in your penis. It also depends on whether it is metal, leather, etc, that can enable you to do this.

Also take it off if you notice your genitals becoming cold, any signs of pain, or if there is pronounced swelling. If blood is not allowed to circulate in your penis, it could coagulate which is a condition called priapism. If new blood cannot enter the penis, then we are talking about permanent damage to your erectile tissue, and damn, Erection, you don’t want that.
