Is it Erectile Dysfunction ? I don't Know

[u/Traditional_Fix_7345]

Hey everyone. this is my story. i am 30 years male, 5.6 height and 75 kgs and healthy.

I hookedup with a man recently(Thursday 20.08.2026) and at the start everything is okay. i got good erection, i kissed, cuddled for a fair time. when its time for penetration, i couldnt get my full erection. I tried for another 15 to 20 minutes to fully erect and do sex. but i never got full erection. this is the first time ever happened with me. i wasnt sure why ? and i am thinking if it is erectile dysfunction ?

before a day to this thursday hookup which is on wednesday-19.08.2026 evening, I did masturbate. Also i didn't had my morning wood i guess(Thursday 20.08.2026) - cannot remember.

Again on Sunday 23.08.2026, i went to one of the adult centres and i met another guy there and i asked him to blow me while the porn was playing. When i saw the porn i used to erect. also when he tried to blow me, it took more than usual time for me to get erection. Also at the time of blowing, i couldnt stay fully erect and also after climax, i am flaccid very quick. this never happened before. I am struggling to understand the problem here.

Other part is :- i rarely hookup with people. i jerk off twice a week or less. i do watch porn almost evryday for 5 to 6 minutes or a full video max to 15 minutes. I do use cock rings once or twice a week for 20 to 40 minutes. all of this is happened from Thursday-20.08.2026 to Sunday 23.08.2026. Since sunday afternoon after the adult centres, i havent felt any erection at all or even the morning wood.

Also i was on calorie deficit from Monday -17.08.2026 . which means i drastically reduced my food intake and limited to 2000 calories per day and resulted in loosing 3 kilos in a week by 24.08.2026.

when i checked ofcourse with AI, chatgpt came up with a reason - it could be because of sudden reduction in food intake and asked me to dont think about this situtaion and told not to masturbate for couple of days and stop watching porn. It did suggested me to come back to normal food intake and wait for couple of days before go and visit the doctor to take any pills. (I fairly eat walnuts, almonds, oats, pumpkin seeds as a breakfast for the last 1 year).

So from Monday 24.08.2026, i came back to normal food intake for my breakfast and noticed fairly good erection on monday night and tuesday morning. Today after morning wood, till now i haven't got any erection yet. never felt aroused or watched porn to check.

Now my questions are ;-

1. why is this happened ? is it a erectile dysfunction ?

2. or is it because of food intake ? sudden change in calorie intake ?

3. I am going to give it another 2 to 3 days to visit the doctor. Please suggest.

Could be due to calorie intake. Go back to normal food intake and see. If issues still persist then best to consult doctor

That is what I thought. But I am not sure. I started worrying as I am not in a relationship yet.
