Psychological ED is the inability to achieve or maintain an erection<\/a> due to non-physical causes such as stress or anxiety. It can come and go unexpectedly and is usually triggered by thoughts, emotions, or situational pressures. <\/p>\n\n\n\n At the same time, you may have normal erections during masturbation. You may also continue to have strong erections during the REM (Rapid Eye Movement) sleep cycle, which usually starts about 90 minutes after you fall asleep, lasting from 10 minutes to an hour throughout the night. <\/p>\n\n\n
