Are these problems normal for a man?

Hi I'm in my very early 20s and I have had some problems maintaining an erection during intercourse. I have been with my girlfriend for 2 years now, and after the first time having sex I was not able to maintain an erection for over a week. After that, the problem suddenly went away and I was able to have great sex for a whole year, but now the problem has come back again. Is this normal? is this suppose to happen at certain times a year? Am I getting ED from too much sex, masturbation, and pornography? Or is it just a state of mind?

    At your age, it is all in your head (mind). Remember, the brain is the largest sex organ we human beings have.

    Before you go to the doctor, take a quick assessment of your life:

    - Are you stressed?

    - Is anything bothering you?

    - Have you been sick recently, or are you using medications?

    - Have any life situations changed?

    When I was laid off from my job where I'd worked ten years, my stepmother (whom I really liked!) died suddenly and my father had a severe stroke within a three month period, oddly enough I couldn't maintain an erection!

    When I gave myself time to work through all that, lo and behold — the erections came back!

    Dude this is not a physical thing but a mental thing

    Make sure you suffer from little to no stress:then things will improve

    First of all, the brain isnt a sex organ dumbass. Go to a doctor and ask what you need or can do.
