Erectile Dysfunction, Masturbate Daily. Is It Stress Or Anxiety Related?

I m a 26 year old male. I ve only had sex with one female partner, but I have attempted sex with 5 others and had perfectly healthy erections up until the time for intercourse. At that point, my erection would go away. My question is, is this most likely stress/ anxiety related? Could it possibly be ED at my age? Also, I masturbate once daily.

If your erection works perfectly in one setting but not in another, then the whole problem is likely to be in your head I.e. stress & anxiety related. Certainly different sexual partners can affect you differently. If you have the least bit of performance anxiety with a partner there is no doubt your erectile functions will suffer. This is nothing to worry about. The more experience you gain with a partner the better you will perform with them. It's all a question of practice and familiarity.
