Unable to get and maintain erection

2025-03-16 11:51:07
I’m a 23-year-old male, and I have been masturbating every day for a few years. Recently, I noticed that I’m unable to get an erection unless I stimulate myself, and even after getting an erection, I can't maintain it for long. Nothing seems to excite me anymore. I have avoided watching porn for a couple of months and reduced masturbating to 3–4 times a month, but the issue persists. What should I do to get back to normal?
