Go To Doctor: There is actually nothing we can offer here other than to say hang up the smart phone and get in to a real doctor and have this problem evaluated. It is nearly 100% likely that your brain is the problem given that erections are more than 50% caused by the mind and that this is not a physical problem. Go to your family doctor and ask for help.

Erectile dysfunction: Search this website for "erectile dysfunction" as topic has been covered repeatedly. Stress is a major cause of ed, especially in young men, and anxiety performance is a major source of stress. You also need to consider your health habits, eg smoking, drinking to excess, depression, medications, weight/fitness, etc. Your doctor can discuss w/your oral options like cialis, levitra, (vardenafil) staxyn & viagra.

See a urologist: Occasionally, men may have inconsistent performance, but 90% of erectile dysfunction (on an ongoing basis) is related to a physical problem. In young men this could be a sign of a low grade (not serious) prostate infection. 10% is psychological. No need to live this way.
