It is a paradox when you say that you hadn’t had the urge to masturbate but still tried to get erections. Both things mean the same.
I don’t think that your sexual drive (urge) is disturbed because if it was you wouldn’t ask this question.
As long as you are interested in achieving erections that means that your sexual desire is present.
You may have an erectile dysfunction. At your age psychogenic erectile dysfunction is the most common one but marijuana, tobacco products, LSA and alcohol can contribute very much to your erectile dysfunction. An epididymis infection (if present) can also disturb the erection.
You should stop all those bad habits. You may want to consult your primary health provider (or urologist, if necessary) to check if you really have an infection of the epididymis.
