I'm a 33-year-old married guy who's been having some trouble with my sex life for about a year now. I used to be really into it, especially with my last girlfriend who was amazing in bed, but since she left, things have gone downhill. I can't seem to get an erection, or if I do, it doesn't last long. I only manage to have sex every couple of weeks, and even that's pretty rare. Lately, I can't sleep well and have been feeling kind of down. Masturbation doesn't help much either, at best I can do it once every few days. What can I do to get back to normal? I really need some advice.
