Important aspects of your query are: • 29 year old male • Complaints of: ED In treatment Erectile dysfunction (ED) it is important to identify cause of the problem. Erectile dysfunction can be a result of a psychological or physical problem or structural problem. Psychological causes: Most common cause in young patients. These include performance anxiety, emotional weakness, inferiority complex, stress, marital or relationship problems, low mood, feelings of guilt, and the effects of a past sexual and emotional trauma. Physical causes: Include neurological disorders, alcoholism, smoking, hormonal imbalances, diabetes, hypertension, blood vessel disease and chronic diseases. Structural problem: Deform penis and tight foreskin problem. What I can understand from your query is that you are not able to sustain hard erection which is required for intercourse. You are 29 years of age and at this age, any difficulty in getting or maintain an erection is due to psychological reasons in most of the cases. Men with psychological problem usually have normal nocturnal erections and erections upon awakening, whereas men with physical problem often do not. I hope you are not taking any alcohol or smoking as sometimes these can also cause erectile dysfunction. It is better if you provide some information about above mentioned risk factors of ed, duration of ed, presence of morning/spontaneous erection and masturbation to help you better.
