Dear user,
Thanks for writing to HCM.
I can understand your concern.
Let me tell you that this is very very common to have erectile failure on occasions. This is not a disease.
Occasional failure can occur to almost every man in his life. When this happens, one gets concerned about performance during next sexual encounter. He thinks whether he would be able to satisfy the partner or not. So, his mind thinks mostly about quality of erection and performance.
For constant erection continuous exciting/romantic/erotic feelings should be there in mind. If mind is diverted to concern about erection (being tensed in your case), you will lose erection.
This in turn reduces your confidence and it again affects the erection.
Having erection during masturbation indicates that your organs are functioning absolutely normally.
There are effective behavior therapies having strong research evidence for psychogenic erectile dysfunction. You can read about ''sensate focus'' on internet.
Wish you good health.
