Brief Answer:
Performance anxiety.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to HCM.
I can understand your concerns.

You are having erection problem during intercourse.
I would like to tell you that this is a common problem in many of the newly married males. People are unable to do intercourse due to performance anxiety.

In such cases, drugs like Tadalafil (prescription drug) will help you to maintain your erection for long duration. This a safe drug and can be taken two hours before intercourse course.

Other than this, avoid smoking and alcohol, if you take it.
Do not wear tight underwears.
Eat fruits and green vegetables.

Hope this helps.
Feel free to discuss further.
Thanks.

Brief Answer:
Better to meet a sexologist.

Detailed Answer:
You are most welcome.
For drug treatment, you would require a valid prescription from a local doctor. So, it's better to meet a qualified sexologist for that. The reason for pain will be determined by local examination.

Masturbation does not cause sexual weakness. The way you masturbated by rubbing vigorously against bed would not have caused the problem.

You must include fruits and green leafy vegetables in your diet. Specifically, almonds, pomegranate and citrus fruits are helpful. Drink plenty of water.

No, taking tablets will not have any long term side effects on your sexual life. Do not worry about it.

The only treatment required is the drug which I mentioned (Tadalafil), that too only for short term.

Hope this answers your query satisfactorily.
You are welcome for more queries.

Thanks.
