I know none of you are doctors but you might have some insight on this:
We are both 22, my boyfriend is healthy weight and healthy inside as far as I know, he doesn't have diabetes or high blood pressure or anything like that. But when we are in bed, he cannot stay hard. He has told me that he really wants to have sex with me but we have tried so many times and we still can't do it. I'm not mad because of the sex, it is just frustrating because I can tell he gets very upset that he can't do it. I don't know if there is anything I can do to help, I try so hard!
Do you think the problem could be erectile dysfunction? And do you have any tips for me/him?
Thanks (link)

This is a form of Erectile Dysfunction. It's often psychological and I agree with others that he may want to see a doctor to narrow it down and determine if an underlying disease is causing it. But only if it's necessary as there's no test to really see what causes ED, to my knowledge.
As for suggestions, if it is psychological, he shouldn't think so much. Even anticipation of losing the erection may cause him to lose it. It's a vicious cycle. It might be impossible not to fear it happening again, but it might be good to at least try.
If he smokes, he should stop.
Eating blackberries and dark chocolate may help.
Exercise is said help as well. I would suggest a combination of aerobic exercises (walking, jogging, etc) and resistance exercises (weightlifting or something similar). And Kegels (a penis exercise involving holding the muscle used to stop a stream of urine for several seconds at a time. Not necessarily while he's peeing, of course) wouldn't hurt either.
Hope some of these tips are useful. If not, he might want to consider medications that stimulate blood flow, like Viagra.

Yeah it definitely is psychological, he used to be mormon and he told me that his old ways always get inside his head and tell him it's wrong.
He doesn't smoke and he exercises a lot, he is very healthy.
Thank you for your help.
