17 year old with some Erectile Dysfunction Issues PLEASE HELP

I am 140 pounds sitting around 5'10". Probably not the most fit in the world but I am definitely not fat.
I have been dating this girl for about 4-5 months now and about one month ago we started having sex. Everything was fine the first time we did it. I lasted a while then I offered round two and we did it again about 15 minutes later (unfortunately I couldn't ejaculate a second time).

We recently went camping together and we did it about 3-4 times perfectly fine. I smoked marijuana for the first time one of the days and I didn't really feel the effects of it at all and we did it just fine. No issues what so ever with regards to keeping it hard. Next day I had about 5 beers and then immediately after was once again I was offered to smoke marijuana. I reluctantly agreed, I didn't actually want to do it but I wanted to be able to say that I did it and that I did not like it. I was feeling the full effects of it. I believe I was tripping out as it seemed to me that my girlfriend was not as cuddly or loving of me as before and it was really bothering me at the time. We went back to have sex and guess what I could not get it up at all. It was ridiculous I was pissed at the time and almost crying, probably due to the drugs. At that moment I swore to myself I was never smoking again. Of course however she told all her friends how my crying was funny, and how I had ED was funny. Of course it is bothering the hell out of me when people are like "So I heard you had a problem the other night?" and other various phrases. Next day however we had sex fine with no issues (no drugs were involved however).

Then comes about 3-4 days ago. I lately have not been getting much sleep as it is very humid and I go to bed at 3:00 AM and I wake up many times (usually at least 3-4 times during the night) and it just feels whenever I wake up that I should be sleeping more as I am really tired. Me and my girlfriend went out. I thought I would be ridiculous and order 3 McDonalds Cheeseburgers, a medium fries and a Large Iced Cappuccino. I essentially finished all of these items and felt quite bloated almost sick lol. We later then felt like having sex at approximately 2:30AM at her house. We were going at it and it was extremely humid and I was sweating insanely. Approximately half way through, my phone goes off and it is my parents calling me. I know they wanted me home that moment. My girlfriend was then getting all worried and was like "Your parents are going to kill you" bla bla bla. Ruining the moment. I was almost to climax a couple times but then again my phone goes off and she starts going on again about how I need to get home. Soon thereafter my penis goes limp and after a few failed attempts to get it up I got really pissed at myself and called it a night right there.

3-4 days later, approximately one hour ago, we are making out in her basement my penis is hard of course. We didn't have a condom downstairs so she has to go up and get one. She goes up and while I'm waiting of course, it goes soft again and we tried to get it up again, it was getting half hard but not hard enough for sex. Once again I in a fit of rage at myself call it a night.

Sorry if this is too detailed but I need help. Please can you guys help me. Can it be I am low on certain vitamins? Can it be that I am low on certain hormones? Can it be all psychological (anxiety)? I need this issue resolved as she thinks that the reason I can't do it is because shes not arousing enough.

It's definitely not ED - the permanent inability to get or maintain an erection that is firm enough for a man to have satisfactory intercourse. It's perfectly normal to fail every now and then, that doesn't mean you have ED - v.g. anxiety is an erection killer. I advise you to relax, lose some weight (obesity is a major cause of ED) and lead a healthy lifestyle.

I have found now that it is difficult to maintain an erection. I lose any erection I have within about 20 seconds with no stimulation. Also, when I do have an erection, the shaft is hard however the head seems to be soft.

Before you get all worked up about yourself, try to get a few good nights of sleep, eat well (not all junk food), stay hydrated, avoid the drugs and then see how it goes.  Exercise is very important for healthy sexual function.

Your body's hormone level will fluctuate throught the month so seeing some differences isnt a big deal.  Sometimes fluids are thicker and sometimes they are thinner.  It can depend on if you are dehydrated / what you are eating or drinking.

Anway, if you are still concerned then you should see a Dr.

I just managed to masturbate and ejaculate (erection did not feel as intense as it could). My ejaculatory fluid was very watery and clear primarily. Usually I find it to be more white and thicker.

Well is another thing I am also noticing over the last week or so is that I do not have morning erections as well and this morning I wanted to test my gear out (due to the problems last night) and I found it really hard (usually just touching it does the trick or seeing something) to get it up and when I did it wasn't even hard just big and it went away really fast. I am thinking maybe I have low testosterone levels which is maybe causing my sleep issues which is in unison working together to make it hard to get an erection?

You are fine.  I'd been happy to be able to go as often as you do.  I'm sure that the combination of drugs, bloated bad food, lack of sleep, telephone ringing, heat, etc... is the cause of your "problem".

Her reaction to these episodes is very typical.  She needs to understand mysterious workings of the penis.... you can get an erection in class when you dont want one.  You can loose your erection when you most want one.  It is normal to achieve and loose an erection when fooling around.  These things wax and wane.  

The less you worry about it, the less the problems will occur.
