A member asked:
What could cause me to not be able to get or maintain an erection?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A few things: Stress / anxiety; stds; guilt/distress regarding sex and/or your partner; or other medical conditions. If no problem w/masturbation, then more likely the "mental" options. Should see a urologist for evaluation.
