It is not clear enough in your question if
your desire for sex, ability for sex or
both is decreased. If your desire for sex
is decreased (frigidity) it is expected
that your ability for sex (potency) will
be also decreased. But you may have a
normal desire for sex and not to be able
to have sex (erectile dysfunction).
Stress at work and depression can cause
both frigidity and psychogenic erectile
dysfunction. Psychogenic erectile
dysfunction is often found in men under
40. If you have morning erections your
erectile dysfunction is probably
psychogenic. It is very important to
exclude organic reasons for erectile
dysfunction: diabetes, alcohol abuse,
excessive smoking, testicular failure,
neurological disorders, etc.
You may want to consult a urologist about
your problem.
