Sexual Problems in Men

There are many different sexual problems that men can experience, including

• low sexual drive
• problems with erections, including difficulty getting or keeping an erection, and curvature of the penis during an erection
• problems with ejaculation, including early ejaculation, delayed ejaculation, and "dry" orgasm
• pain in the penis or elsewhere during intercourse.

Each of these problems may have several different causes. In order to get started, we need to find out more about your specific problem.
