An 18-year-old man presents to his GP with concerns about maintaining his erections. He has had morning erections since puberty, and these continue, as well as having erections during foreplay; however, he is not able to maintain an erection long enough for penetrative intercourse. The man has a new partner and is very concerned that the relationship will fail because of his ED. The man’s physical examination is normal, with no signs of gynaecomastia and normal size testes. His observations are unremarkable. He smokes cannabis approximately once a month, drinks occasional alcohol and is starting university in the next few months. What is the best way to proceed?
