Brief Answer:
your problem seems psychological
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for clear information.
From history it is clear that your problem is psychological.
You did not have any experience of sex so we cannot say that there is erectile dysfunction.
Penis erection happens when person aroused with some erotic stimuli or romantic feelings and try to masturbate. In adolescent age penis erection happens without touching. As age increases it gets erected completely when someone try to masturbate.
Morning erection when totally absent for more than 6 months we need to evaluate. But in your case it is occasionally there thought it was less.
Size of penis is absolutely fine.
- I recommend thyroid hormone evaluation again. Hypothyroid can cause low sex desire and feeling of cold (not able to keep your body warm). Revert back to me with reports of T3, T4, TSH and go for report early morning in fasting state.
- To make you confident I also recommend going for fasting testosterone level. It is likely will come normal and we can confirm that your problem is psychological.
For a while I want to suggest one vitamin supplement.
It is medicine cum vitamin supplement containing pyridoxal-5-phosphate, mecobalamin and l-methylfolate (trade name tetrafol plus)is very helpful in my patients. This helps in dilatation of penis vessels and improves blood flow. It has shown improvement in 50-60% patients of mine with erectile dysfunction. You may get this medicine over the counter as it is vitamin product. You should take it twice a day after meal for 2 months.
- Can you provide me your detail history of masturbation (frequency, duration, enjoyment)?
In conclusion you are not having physical problem likely, you are just over concerned about your erection. Your concerns as well as your current routine stress are affecting your erection due to psychological reasons.
Feel free to discuss further.

AND HOW TO STRAIGHT THE CURVATURE OF PENIS??
AND HOW TO STRAIGHT THE CURVATURE OF PENIS??
Brief Answer:
performance anxiety is possibility
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for follow up.
You have attempted only once. Many young males when attempt first time they ejaculate fast. This is likely due to performance anxiety.
Sometime due to fatigue, lack of mood, situational problem or environmental changes man can fail in sex. It is normal phenomenon. This is called performance anxiety. After such failure when person actively thinks about erection or success of intercourse during sex/masturbation his mind is likely diverted to such thoughts. For constant erection continuous exciting/romantic/erotic feelings should be there in mind. If mind diverted to concern about erection/ejaculation, ejaculation occurs fast.
However practice makes the man perfect. It will not be always the case, so no need to worry.
Normal bending of penis is there in almost 95% of males. When bending during erection is more than 25 degree and painful then only it is problem. If your curvature is within normal limit and no pain, no need to worry. let me know if you have any problem with curvature and pain during erection or urinating.
Take care.
