"A weak erection is commonly used to describe an erection that is not sufficiently firm for satisfactory sexual activity, one that does not last long enough, or difficulty achieving an erection in the first place," says urologist Dr Vic Albert.

According to Dr Albert, one disappointing sexual experience can trigger a cycle in which a man becomes so worried about losing his erection that the anxiety itself makes it happen again."Medically, we use the term erectile dysfunction (ED), which refers to a persistent or recurrent inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual performance."
