You may have a form of erectile dysfunction and if it persists, you should see a urologist.

Erectile dysfunction is usually a gradual change, usually not a sudden change. There are many causes of sudden onset of ED such as stress, lack of sleep, depression and "life." Give it more time and then see a primary care physician or urologist if it continues.
