Issues keeping it up

I’m a male, 22 years of age and I’m having issues keeping a strong erection even around my girlfriend. I exercise all the time, I can run 10 miles easily and I’m just fit physically. I don’t drink, don’t smoke, and I’m not gay. I’ve recently stopped watching porn about 2-3 months ago. Right now my girlfriend especially is concerned about it and I don’t want her to ever question things like if I find her attractive or if I’m into women, because I am. I really could use some advice

It could be that after all that exercise you are just tired at the end of the day. It may also be stress related. It could also be you just aren't particularly interested in sex and/or you need to spice things up in the bedroom department.

Thing about it is is that I sleep a lot and take rest days off after each time I run so I’m not exhausted 😩.
I’m very interested in sex and I have strong urges to want to have sex but my wang just doesn’t fall in line when I need it. Also I don’t have anything stressing me out currently. Any other possibilities ?
Almost all men go experience some form of erectile dysfunction at some point in their lives. Almost all such cases have psychological reasons. Are you experiencing any stress or worries in life at the moment? It sounds like just talking about it is stressful and embarrassing for you, which can also be a contributing factor. Try some relaxation or mindfulness exercises, and try and be ok with discussing this with your gf. Your penis is just another physical organ. Try to take a biological view of this rather than a social one. Your penis isn't a symbol of your gender, masculinity or sexuality.
