What Causes Erectile Dysfunction?
Considerations
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for submitting your question.
The symptoms you describe sound very consistent with anxiety induced performance dysfunction. This is a very commonly reported in many many healthy males and females. Given your age and no other reported history of inability or dysfunction, it would be very reasonable to speculate that this is related to the intense feelings and resulting anxiety you described. Overcoming the anxiety will be important to a healthy, mutual sexual relationship; this may take a little time and it's important not to pressure yourself or feel negatively about yourself. If the symptoms persist, you may consider speaking with your physician in person to address your concerns.
I hope this was helpful and hope this will help ease your anxiety.

Anxiety can affect us even while we are not awake. Have you noticed more disturbing dreams or less restful sleep? It is very possible the anxiety is contributing to these changes and possibly other changes you might not even notice. It may not hurt to consult with your primary care physician to address your concerns regarding your sexual function as well as your feelings about these issues. This way, you may feel
more at ease about your overall state of health and hopefully find reassurance in this.

I hope this helps you step in the right direction toward feeling better.
