Can Cerebral Palsy cause an 18 yr. old man to have troubles getting and keeping an erection?

Question:

He is my boyfriend and I was just wondering becuse every time we mess around he is only able to last about one hour at the most and then he says that he's lost it and doesn't have anymore in him, so he's not able to do anymore, but he wishes that he could. He wants to do more, but he just can't and we don't know why. He is perfectly healthy other than the cerebral palsy, so i don't see anything else that could be the cause of him not being able to get or keep an erection, is there anyone who can help me?

Answers:
Absolutely, it's a malfuntion of brain control and nothing wreaks havoc on your neurons like sex. He has other body parts that work though right? Ask him to use them!

Maybe but Maybe not...it can depend on several things (http://www.drdrew.com/Article/print.asp?id=430&type=1)

at http://www.ghi.com/yourhealth/encyclopedia/articles/erectiledysbasics.html

it says "Because erection is primarily a vascular event, it is not surprising that the most common causes in this age group are conditions that block blood flow to the penis...Another vascular cause may be a faulty vein, which lets blood drain too quickly from the penis. Other physical disorders ...may also result in erectile dysfunction."

also "Any disorder that impairs blood flow in the penis has the potential to cause impotence." 69 potential diseases that can cause it are listed at:

however CP was not one of them. (www.drdrew.com see http://www.drdrew.com/Article/print.asp?id=430&type=1) So, it could be anxiety or whatever or it could be NOTHING at all.

One hour is longer than most men.

Don't worry it will make it worse.

An hour? Wow. It doesn't sound like there's anything wrong with him.
