Brief Answer:
Psychological ED.
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to HCM.
I can understand your concerns.
I have seen the picture. In this picture, the penis is not fully erect.
Technically, there is no parameter to assess the quality of erection.
The simplest way is to have intercourse with your partner. If you both enjoy it, then everything is normal.
If you are unable to penetrate or there is loss of erection as soon as you proceed for penetration, then drugs like tadalafil (prescription drug) can help.
In most of the cases at young age, the erectile dysfunction is psychological.
Hope this helps.
Feel free to discuss further.
Thanks.

Thanks for the response Doctor.
I tried penetrating two three times and failed. We both are Virgins.
I used to be amazingly enjoying orgasms upon ejaculation with her hand. But one day we decided to go for sex and I failed to penetrate properly.
I fear if I am having a soft erection and erections are not so pleasing as they earlier were.
My penis doesn't erect like saluting. Is it a problem or fine to have a penis downwards even when fully erect.
If the problem is psychological, could you please tell me the ways to get out of it.
My age is 25. And I have no health whatsoever. I will send you more pics if you need for exact conclusion.

Brief Answer:
Performance anxiety.
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
you are most welcome.
Initially, there are issues of penetration for most of the couples who are virgin.
A normal person fails in the intercourse 2-3 times out of ten times of intercourse initially.
The reasons could be many:
1.Performance anxiety.
2.Trying to do sex in various poses.
3. Expecting to do it in the way which you have imagined/seen in porn etc.
4. False beliefs about sexual activity (e.g. you are inspired by your friend about his story of supernatural power of doing sex).
I would suggest that you should not worry.
Sex is for pleasure and not a test of your abilities. Enjoy it, even if you are not able to penetrate at times.
Spend time in foreplay.
Discuss with your partner frankly about this problem you are facing. This will lessen your pressure of performance.
As you have no health issues, there should no obvious medical reason for your erection problem.
If the problem still persists, you can take tablet tadalafil (prescription drug).
Hope this helps.
Thanks.
