Erection problems and lack of sexual desire
Hello,
I currently have a somewhat uncomfortable problem, namely a type of erectile dysfunction.
About me: I am 28 years old, a non-smoker, I do not take any medication other than iodine tablets for hypothyroidism (which I have been taking for years). I am also severely overweight (over 100 kg at 1.65 m). Otherwise, no known illnesses.
I am still a male virgin. Nevertheless, since my youth, I have always had a desire for sex, which is why I have regularly masturbated (quite a lot, sometimes 3 times a day). That's why I am so surprised by my current problem.
On Wednesday evening, during the usual masturbation, I noticed that I was having difficulties. My erection seemed to decrease and I did not feel the "pressure" as usual. I did reach completion, but I had to make a real effort, it was very difficult.
At first, I didn't think much of it. I thought it might be due to lack of concentration or simply because it took too long (I prolonged the act quite a bit by browsing for new erotic images on my phone). Then I thought, maybe I just overdid it the days before (as I said, 3 times a day), so my penis might be overwhelmed.
Well, on Thursday, I didn't touch myself. And all day on Friday, either. I was very surprised at how easy it was for me. I felt no desire or lust to masturbate. Which is unusual, because usually even after one day of rest I am totally aroused, and at the latest after the second day, I end the "break" because I can't bear it any longer and simply feel too much desire. But this time was different. It was effortless.
On Friday evening, I did it again - not out of desire, but rather to test if everything was back to normal. But it wasn't. I looked at erotic pictures, found them very attractive in my mind, got an erection, but not 100%. It felt more like 80%. It didn't get completely hard. I did reach completion again, quite quickly, but the "soft erection" worries me.
I then researched possible causes, both physical and psychological. The physical causes scare me the most, because I cannot imagine that it is psychological in my case. Especially since I found the erotic photos quite sexy, but simply did not get a proper erection. It seemed more physical to me.
I am now terribly afraid that I might have a serious or dangerous illness, such as a tumor. And since it is the weekend, I cannot go to the doctor, but I am just so worried that it is already driving me crazy. That's why I am asking here.
What do you think? Does my description lean more towards a psychological problem or a physical one? Are my worries justified or am I overreacting? What should I do?
