Brief Answer:
Hi it is common problem, it depends on the genetics

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Welcome
I have gone through your query.

Growth of mustache and beard hair is under genetic and hormonal control.
If your father and grandfather had a slow or scanty facial hair growth it is likely that you will have the same rate and pattern of growth.

Facial hair growth is mainly dependent on testesterone levels .Testesterone or the male hormone causes beard growth.

I would like to know few additional information like
Do you have hair growth on arm pit and pubic areas.
Do you feel any abnormality in your sexual desire or any erection problem any time in last 24 years or are you sexually active.
How is your family pattern- hair in other male member

your testesterone and dihydrotestesterone levels will have to be tested.After this you can be given injections of testesterone to increase the hair growth.There are no specific drugs to increase the facial hair growth.Hormonal treatment is the only option. For this I would recommend you to see endocrinologist for help.

Hope this information helps.
Take care

Brief Answer:
ED is most likely to be psychological

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
OK. I would like to know, since when you are having ED?
Most of the time it is psychological and does not require any treatment. I would suggest you to decrease the frequency of masturbation and see if there is any improvement.
Hope this helps
Take care.
