22M — Reduced libido, almost no morning erections, unrefreshing sleep and constant stress. Could this all be related?
I'm 22M and over the past year I've noticed a gradual change in my sexual function.
I used to get morning erections regularly, but they gradually became less frequent and now I almost never wake up with one.
I've also noticed that my libido has decreased. I don't feel as sexually interested as I used to.
Some background:
• I'm currently in college and also worried about finding a job.
• I'm constantly stressed about my future and family.
• My sleep isn't refreshing, even when I seem to get enough hours.
• My routine is basically classes → come back to my room → study → sleep.
• On weekends I mostly try to relax or do something productive like reading or watching a movie.
• I masturbate around once or twice a week, usually on weekends, and usually with porn.
• I'm a virgin and don't have a girlfriend.
• I don't think I'm masturbating excessively.
• I don't drink/smoke/use drugs.
The biggest issue is that I feel stressed almost all the time. Even when I'm doing something normal, it feels like there's one part of me doing the task/thinking about it while another part of my brain is constantly tense and analysing everything in the background.
Recently I've also noticed that my heartbeat feels more noticeable than usual. It's not necessarily racing, but I can distinguish/feel my heartbeat much more easily, and sometimes it feels like my heart rate is slightly higher than it used to be.
So at this point I have:
• Reduced libido
• Almost no morning erections
• Unrefreshing sleep
• Constant mental tension/stress
• More noticeable heartbeat
