Question
When I put on a condom with a girl, my penis gets soft. But when I'm alone it doesn't. Does this mean that I have erectile dysfunction? How can I help my problem?

| This happens with quite a few people. it is probably because the condom interferes in some way with the "full experience." It does not mean you have erectile dysfunction. People with erectile dysfunction ordinarily have problems most of the time under any circumstances.
Try using the condom when you are alone to have yourself get used to it that way and see if that does it.
