I'm 22, male. I am curious to know if there is such a thing psychology erectile dysfunction? Last I lost my virginty but had some issues getting it up, I know that it's a common thing. But in my case I found that when i did get an erection then put a condom on, the condom killed it. Also during foreplay that I could only give myself an erection. Is there such a thing as penis to hand muscle memory as I do masturbate frequently. It just would be nice have some answer, because it was pretty humiliating. And if there is any way to rectify it.
One immediate thing you could address is your diet. There is too much oestrogen and lookalike chemicals in our environment to be good for men. I know just how it feels. I am on hormone therapy. My testosterone is reduced to 5% of normal. My erectile ability and libido declined steadily day by day. On day 13 of the therapy both were ansent - it was that obvious. It can still stimulate an erection but a second after I stop the stimultion the erection is gone. No pleasure comes with the erection. Now with the oestrogen men normally produce and that which I have not eliminated from my diet. it is oserogen that dominates now. So I have a cute female bulge on my abdomen and a pair of pert breasts. I still feel fully male but my mind set is subtilly changed. This is interesting for a 74 year old to observe, but it would be very upsetting if I were 24. Yes, eliminate oestrogen from your diet and that includes drinking and cooking in oestrogen free water. That may well be part of the solution. It could be all that is needed. Some plastics have chemical lookalikes.
Wishing you a successful investigation and resolution of this serious problem.

Hi Matthew, What you have described is not uncommon and can occur at any age. The mind does play an important part and can be the cause. There are many other reasons as well. One you have mentioned is valid - We can become use to the ease of masturbating - and as important as protection is, in the beginning the senses are sometimes slightly lessened - but definitely worth it.
There are many other causes which can include anything from self esteem, to nervousness, to not being attracted or turned on, to simply not being in the mood. Diet, alcohol and being tired can also play a part.
Masturbation is a normal part of life. However, It is possile, If you stop or reduce the frequency of masturbating, the body will become more sensitive and the need for sex and release will become more intense.
It is always a good idea to make an appointment with a professional (as in Doctor or Ureologist, lol) to see if there are any problems. There are also prescribed drugs that are not required to be taken regularly- and are very effective in helping to acheive and maintain an erection. The key is fnding the dosage that gives the desired effect with the least amount of side effects... I hope this helps and remember Always play Safe..
Often on the first time with a partner the troubles you describe would not be unknown. You don't say whether the partner was long term [if so I would guess it may pass] or more casual.
