Negative thoughts or worries can prevent an erection from occurring as surely as sexual thoughts or fantasies can produce one. A sign that your erection problem is psychological and not physical is if you can get an erection while sleeping, when waking up in the morning, or when masturbating, but you can't get one when you're with your partner. This can happen as a result of anxiety, stress, depression, conflict with your partner, or guilt.
Another common psychological factor that will sometimes keep a man from getting an erection is "performance anxiety." This happens when a man is so worried about getting an erection that his fear becomes self-fulfilling.
Before a doctor can decide how to treat your erection problem, he or she will need to know what's causing it. You may be able to help determine the nature of your problem by taking some of the following steps.
* Look for risk factors. Answer questions, such as: Are you taking medicine? Do you drink a lot? Have you suffered a groin injury? Are you depressed or under stress? Are you having trouble communicating with your partner?
* Make lifestyle changes. If you drink alcohol, cut back. If you smoke, get information on quitting.
If you use prescription drugs, ask your doctor or pharmacist if they could be interfering with your ability to get an erection. If you ride a bike frequently, go shopping for a wider, softer seat.
* Talk to your partner. If you think that you're having trouble getting erections because you're anxious about having sex with your partner, be honest about it. Look for solutions together.
* Relax. When you're with your partner, exchange massages or have sexual interactions that don't lead to intercourse; it takes the pressure off if you don't feel you have to "perform."
* Try counseling. Sometimes talking to a professional, a person with whom you aren't emotionally involved, can be helpful. Ask your doctor to recommend a psychiatrist or psychologist who is experienced in sex therapy.

There are many reasons this may happen from time to time.
1)Fatigue
2)Diet
3)High blood pressure
4)And so on……
However, something you may want to consider is chiropractic care. You may be having a problem where your spinal cord has a “Kink” in it due to misaligned vertebrae. If you do not have the ability to send the electronic signal to the main “wire” due to a kink go and get it un-kinked. I have posted a link for you to read more but I know that, and have seen, very cool healing and health situations corrected through chiropractic care.
I posted another question about chiropractic care for you to read as well.
