Hello
Thanks for your query ,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you are facing problem of Erectile Dysfunction.

I shall be happy if you can post me few more details to help me in making comments on your problem.
1) Since how long you are facing this problem of ED.?
2) Do you have other health issues like diabetes,Hypertension ?
3) Is there any psychological issue hat has cropped up iat your work place,in personal life or in relationship with your partner?

It is very common for every individual to face problem of ED some time or other at this age and in most of the cases it gets resolved spontaneously .However you need to consult qualified Urologist for clinical examination and get following basic tests done to establish cause for Ed.
1) Haemogram
2) Blood sugar estimation on empty stomach and 2 hours after lunch to rule out Diabetes
3) Thyroid Hormone assessment
4) Color Doppler Ultrasound Scan of the penis to rule out any vascular insufficiency as a cause of your ED.

Taking Sildenafil (Viagra) as on demand will help to get good hard erection to have enjoyable sex .
