Why can’t I stay hard?

r/

I’m an 18 y/o man in college and recently I have been experiencing ed. I have never had this problem before until me and my current girlfriend got together. She told me she wanted to take things slow and not have sex right away but we ended up sleeping together after a night out in the first stages of our relationship and my performance was fine but we agreed that we were gonna continue not to make it a norm because she still wanted to take things slow. Fast forward to 3 weeks ago we were getting to that point again but right as she put it in she said no so I took it right back out and we didn’t have sex but that stuck with me and weighed on my mind heavy. After that I couldn’t get hard at all but I took a blue chew and I could get hard again and we started to normalize sex in our relationship. However, this week I started noticing I can get hard but not stay hard anymore. Every time I get to that point to put it in I go soft again even though I was hard 3 seconds before. I know this sounds weird but I don’t know where else to ask and was wondering if anyone could give me any advice?

    95% of ED is psychological. Do not take ED meds off you don’t have ED, especially at 18yo. It’s all in your head and you need to plow your way through it.

    It’s all in you’re head, instead of focusing on the deed, you’re thinking about other things.

    Could be a number of things like diet or stress. Once it starts it can also self-perpetuate if you’re nervous about performance. Honestly if it’s not like a one night stand, it’s not a big deal. It’s just something y’all work through as a couple.
