Probably psychological cause, follow the advice below.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Being unable to get an erection at your age is commonly related to psychological problems.
It can be related to anxiety or stress.
Another possible cause can be alcohol consumption.
In very rare cases it can be related to a disease.
So, I suggest to follow a healthy lifestyle.
I recommend to eat healthy, sleep well and also communicate with your girlfriend about this.
If you are overweight, try to loose some weight.
If you don't see any changes a physical examination and a testosterone level is need for proper evaluation.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Kind regards!
