Q: Unable to gain erection during sex

Hi , well as the title say's , my problem stem's from not being able to gain an erection for a sexual intercourse.
I'm with the girl i love more than anything in the world , and we have both agreed that we would both like to have our first sexual intercourse with each other. However , when it come's to getting an erection is where it fail's.
I've noticed that i pre-come a LOT while we are snuggling and lets say getting in the mood , then when the time come's to do it , my penis is limp.
Even with the help of her , i cannot get erect in the slightest.
Although , during solo masturbation i can get hard enough for penetration , and i've noticed i will not pre-come at all , and just have a regular orgasm.
But like i said , soon as i'm in bed with my girlfriend , i pre-come a lot , then im unable to get an erection.
I'm really scared this is going to ruin my relationship.
Why am i pre-coming so much whilst with my girlfriend?
Why can i get erect during masturbation , and not pre-come and have regular orgasm ?
Why cant i get this erect when i ACTUALLY WANT TO?
What is causing this pre-come , and how can it be stopped?
Is the release of so much pre-come is what is causing my erection problem?

Please help and provide me with any information or idea's you may have , it would be very much appreciated at this moment , as i am so stressed out over this.

Thanks in advance.

Various medications and recreational drugs can have an affect on sexual arousal and sexual performance. Are you currently taking any antihistamine, anti-depression, psychiatric, antihypertensive or diuretic medications? Do you use recreational drugs?

I am not taking any medication whatsoever.

Any other suggestions ?

Could masturbating a considerable amount over the year's be causing this ?

First of all of course youre not going to get an erection AFTER you ejaculate. if you pre-cum I'd say thats the reason youre not getting an erection when you want to and I'm willing to bet that your sex drive goes down as well.

I understand that youre at the beginning of your relationship and that this is the first time youre having sex. other then congrats I just want to say that maybe youre getting over excited being that this is your first time. try to relax a little and I think with time you'll get the hang of it

I agree. I think that time and experience will help balance out any emotional or psychological barriers to good performance.

Hey guy, do NOT FRET. This happened to me for 6 straight months of trying with my beloved college girlfriend back twelve years ago. It's a mind thing, you're psyching yourself out, and that's fine. I am curious: are you using condoms? The act of putting it on killed my dong every time, and we found the key was her getting super-erotic about putting it on. Try it once, you might be good to go.
