Erection disorders at your age (late teens) are usually functional in nature, which means that you might need more practice having sex. You can try conserving your energy for sex with your partner and practice less masturbation. For the sex to be good, you'll need practice! So, try to reserve the sexual energy for your girlfriend.

The “white scaly things” that you describe as being under the head of your penis might represent some type of infection. You can check that at your GP's office and consult a dermatovenerologist specialist, if necessary.
