Weak erections. Especially when sitting or lying down?

I'm 28yrs old. In shape, exercise regularly. I drink occasionally. I don't do drugs.

It started about the beginning of this year. It seems my erections are not as strong as they used to be. I remember my erections being so hard to the point it almost hurt. When I sat down or laid down they were still strong. My erections would point up.

Now it seems as if the blood isn't being trapped as well, making my erections weak, especially when sitting or laying.

When I masturbate, I have to hold it at the base and tilt it slightly towards my legs to keep the blood trapped.

I'm not sure if it's a psychological thing or if maybe there is something wrong.

Anyone with similar situations and have been able to overcome this?

    It could be a blood pressure problem, better have that checked.

    Don't worry, we all seem to go through this phase (except I'm a guy, so I think about girls instead). I suppose it's ok for me to say (at the moment) that I feel attracted to girls your age because I'm 17, but if my preferences don't change as I get older I really will eventually feel like a 50-year-old pervert with images of teenage girls stuck in my head. Anyway, I suspect it's just hormones that are causing this for you. They'll probably subside within the next couple of years. And there's no need to feel embarrassed about it! No-one will know unless you tell them. :)

    It might be a psychological thing. Studies are showing that something called pornography addiction or masturbation addiction can have psychological impacts that can lead to many symptoms, and many report possible erectile dysfunction at a young age. YourBrainOnPorn (google) and a tedtalks episode outlines these points very well, I'd recommend taking a look.
