Can an erection that is not firm enough complete sexual intercourse?

Patient's question:

I am a person who has frequent sexual activity, almost once a day. Currently, I can get an erection during sex, but it's not hard and becomes soft instantly. The hardness duration is very short each time, and I am very concerned about my sexual ability. I have a girlfriend, but I don't dare to have sex with her. I want to know if someone with my kind of weak erection can successfully complete sexual intercourse?

Doctor's answer:

Erectile dysfunction, also known as premature ejaculation, refers to the inability to achieve or maintain an erection when sexually aroused, or the inability to maintain a sufficient level of hardness for an adequate duration of sexual activity, thereby hindering the ability to complete intercourse. Premature ejaculation restricts sexual desire. Impotence can be cured, but the treatment process is generally slow, and the condition is prone to recurrence after treatment. Therefore, during treatment, medication should be used according to the specific symptoms, and during the treatment period, it is recommended to maintain a healthy lifestyle and adopt a proper diet.
