I am a 19 year old man, who never lost his virginity. I believe in having one partner instead of many. This also leads me to masturbate where sometimes I'll do it 2 times a day, other times I'll just take a break. Recently I noticed that I can't get as hard as I used to. My penis may become erect for about a minute, however it limps if I don't keep a firm grip on it. I am seeing a girl, and its to the point when I first started messing around with her; fingering, eating out, etc I had an erection. Now if I do it, it is hard for me to become erect. I been considering taking Viagra, however at 19 I don't think I should. Comparing to last year, I was hard as a rock when the wind blew by. I do work out, have small stress in life, but nothing overwhelming. One thing is that I am kinda "harsh" when I masturbate. I like to grip hard. Would this qualify as erectile dyfunctionsy?
Are there cures like eating a lot of fruits or resting your testicles on ice or can this be a stress related?

According to the description, it seems that you have never reached the point where you want to penetrate and have sexual intercourse, so it's not possible to diagnose erectile dysfunction yet. You won't be able to judge the strength of an erection relative to masturbation. In other words, you should not expect much from your first sexual intercourse. You might even be disappointed... but that is normal the first time. Erectile dysfunctions due to anxiety and no experience are typical for young men at your age. You probably don’t need Viagra but patience, self-confidence and more experience. Tolerance and love from your girlfriend is very important, too.
