Brief Answer:
Drugs like tadalafil help.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for responding back.

I think apprehension and anxiety that 'would you be able to perform intercourse with your wife' is one main reason for your problem.

However, I have some suggestions for you:
1. Practice kiegel's exercises to strengthen your pelvic muscles.
2. Increase green vegetables and fruits in your diet. Pomegrante is a good antioxidant. Dry fruits like walnuts increase libido.
3. Quit alcohol as it can contribute to your problem.
4. Go for a penile doppler study to rule out vascular patholgy.
5. Drugs like tadalafil help in erection. It is a prescribed medication

Hope this helps.
Thanks
