Brief Answer:
Probably erectile dysfunction.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,

The symptoms seem to be related to erectile dysfunction.
I suggest to do some examinations to check the cause of your symptoms. I recommend:
-A urine test
-Blood tests
-A pelvic ultrasound.

Meanwhile,I suggest to follow a healthy lifestyle, eat healthy and exercise.
If you don't have any other medical conditions, I suggest go use Sildenafil to treat the erectile dysfunction.
You can take it one hour before intercourse.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Kind regards!
