It's an embarrassing problem that many guys will never even admit to their doctor, and weak erections can happen to any man at any age. There is no reason to sit back and admit defeat - you do have options to get back to strong, firm erections.

Erections are brought on by blood rushing into the caverns inside your penis known as the "corpa cavernosa." These two chambers fill up with blood, engorging your penis with enough fluid to make it very hard and stand upright at attention.

Weak hard-ons are different from Erectile Dysfunction (ED) in that you're still able to attain a partial erection. Sometimes men may still be able to have successful intercourse with a less-than-full erection, and others may not be able to. Either way, you shouldn't have to struggle with this problem, as firm full erections are much more effective and enjoyable for intercourse.

So what can you do if you suffer from partial firmness? How can you consistently get firmer, stronger erections? There are a few different things that can work. Some men find success with "erection rings" (aka "cock rings") while others like to work on increasing actual blood flow to the penis.

Erection rings work by helping you maintain the blood in your hard-on. Once you've achieved a full erection (assuming you can), you put a tightening ring around the base of your erection. By tightening the ring around the base of the hard penis, blood is effectively contained in the penis which will maintain it's full strength. These rings are only effective if you're able to attain a full erection though. If you can never reach a full hard erection, you'll have to start working from the inside out.

There are some herbs that will actually increase blood flow to your penis when an erection is called upon. By increasing blood flow into the penis, you'll be able to attain full, firm erections, the way you would expect an erection to look and feel. In fact, there are even a few supplements designed specifically for increasing your penile strength.

Weak erections can ruin your sex life and make intercourse difficult. Nobody wants to talk to their doctor about expensive medical procedures and prescriptions that often come with some side effects. You have the power to increase your erection strength with a few different techniques, but you never have to suffer from limp erections. You just have to learn how to improve blood flow to your penis during arousal.
