Erectile dysfunction: Very common &amp; there are many causes. Anxiety &amp; other psychological causes likely most common in 20-year-olds. Alcohol, drugs &amp; fatigue also common. Medical conditions can be neurologic (including pressure on nerves from bicycle seat), hormonal (including diabetes). Advise urologic consultation.
