"My husband is having an unusual issue: During the day he cannot get an erection, but at night he has no problem getting hard. It hasn't always been this way with him, just within the last two years. He is 48 with no underlying health conditions, so I'm stumped as to why his dick seemingly goes dormant during daylight hours."
"Generally, when seeming erectile dysfunction presents in some situations and not others, it is believed to be some kind of psychological manifestation. That your husband can get erections sometimes suggests that his body is in working order. Still, he's seen a change in his functioning so visiting a urologist to get some blood work done might not be a bad idea. Testosterone levels tend to peak in the morning, so maybe this issue is related to your husband's circadian rhythm?"
A man reports inability to get erections during the day but normal nocturnal erections. Situational erectile dysfunction often indicates psychological factors since physiological capability is demonstrated. A medical evaluation including urology consultation and blood work is recommended because functioning has changed. Testosterone typically peaks in the morning, so circadian rhythm disturbances could play a role. If no underlying pathology is found, ED interventions such as PDE5 inhibitors (tadalafil, sildenafil) or a cock ring can reduce performance anxiety. Stress can impair arousal, so treatments may help by removing pressure. Scheduling sex for times when erections occur is a practical option.
