Brief Answer:
You have secondary Erectile Dysfunction.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for your query,based on the facts that you have posted it appears that you have secondary Erectile Dysfunction mostly Psychogenic in origin.

I shall be happy if you can post me few more details to help me in making comments on your problem.
1) Are you diabetic?
2) Do you have hypertension?

Since you are getting good hard erection in the morning your ED seems to be Psychogenic in origin due to what is called as performance anxiety rather than due to any organic cause ,

Spending more time in foreplay and allaying anxiety about getting erection will help you to have good hard erection even without taking any pills.

If does not succeed Taking Sildenafil (Viagra)as on demand will help to get good hard sustainable erection and to have enjoyable sex.

Hope I have answered your query ,please feel free to ask if you have more questions I shall be happy to help you
Thanks and Regards.

No I am not Diabetic or have Hyperetension I also fill that this is me not being able to relax and I want to assure my new partner that it isn't her I just want to please her so much I get worried about it. Also this only happens if we are at my house and there is a change of sex if we are out somewhere and we get affectionate I can get an erection no problem.
