Erectile dysfunction happened randomly. I am 20

hey guys I am 20 years old, 6'2" and weigh 70kg. I don't drink or take drugs.. so I have been together with my partner for about 3 months now and we have had sex about 5 times. I will get hard instantly, I would wake up every morning with a solid erection, and having sex with her I wouldn't have problems either. however, in the last two weeks or so, I have been struggling to get hard. I don't wake up with an erection anymore either. we did have a problem in our relationship such as, we were arguing, I was angry that other guys were trying to talk to her etc. we almost broke up at one point and never spoke for a few days, and we haven't had sex in a few weeks. I don't know if this is the problem because I see that anxiety, depression etc can be the cause but its only common for things such as performance anxiety etc but I don't have that issue. when I put on porn, I can't get as hard as I used to be, I can still get somewhat hard but it feels soft at the same time and its just not my usual self.

I do think anxiety can still cause your issue. Especially now that you are focused on this as it puts more pressure on it and you have anxiety about your erection.  it compounds things.  Wouldn't turn on any porn or masturbate for now.  Try de stressing methods.  Exercise regularly (helps mood stability, releasing stress and circulation). And work on problems with your partner.  If it continues, talk to your doctor.  Are you taking any medication at all?  That can sometimes interfere.  And you have the DESIRE but just not the full erection?

hey thank you for getting back to me. I'm currently not taking any medications, also started gym again yesterday. and I don't have the full desire to be completely honest. I was ill few weeks ago so we never had sex but and I thought that was the reason why I wasn't getting any morning wood [because I wasn't feeling well] but im better now but still nothing. im also going to stop watching porn too. im just freaked out to how its happened randomly because it was perfectly normal few weeks ago. I did go to a Chinese shop today and they said its because I've drained myself out due to all the sex and masterbation thats been happening as of late, and they told me to buy their herbal tonic but haven't got it yet. im scared its a neurological issue now
Unless you have shooting pains, tingling, etc, it’s born neurological. When I’ve have troubles getting it up in the past and now if I’m just hoping for a fast recovery time, I try forgetting sex and just enjoy everything goin on. Letting go like that alleviates any anxiety, but if you haven’t talked to her and really told her how you feel, you should do that to get rid of it first. Sex is a perk from a relationship, not the focus. Focusing on just her and how you feel should Ben all you need
I don't get any pains or tingling like that. it just happened randomly where it isn't getting hard anymore
