Brief Answer:
Psychological performance issue

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking
I read your question and i understand your concern. Performance issues and inability to maintain erection at age of 31 with no trauma history are likely psychological and due to over use of genitals. I infer from your single status that you have been trying to assess the erection with self touching or masturbation. Let me tell you these are not the tools to assess performance issues . Reduce coital frequency to once a week and avoid masturbation or self touching of any kind. The performance issue will resolve .
If you still want to get evaluated i would recommend a sex therapist near by to have an assessment.
I hope it helps. Take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.

Brief Answer:
Sex therapist advised

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for getting back to me
As i mentioned performance issues cant be labelled erectile dyafunction unless it has an organic cause for it. At age if 31 its less likely to be erectile dysfunction and more likely to be a mere psychological performance issue or issue due to increased coital frequency which we recommend to be once a week or maximum twice a week.
Please consult a sex therapist and let them run some labs as well to rule out organic cause as well as psychological cause.
I hope it helps.
