Struggle to get an erection?

Hi there,
I'm 17 years old (nearly 18) and I've had a girlfriend for 1 and a half years. We started doing sexual things about 8 months ago and we have done pretty much everything apart from having sex.
I masterbate once a day and I have done for a number on years now. I need some help for you guys to help me stop or cut it down as I know it may influence the issue.
But the issue occurs when we try and have sex. I have to use a condom and after a bit of foreplay before hand I am never fully erect. It's annoying as I can get fully erect in 2 minutes alone but with my girlfriend it's different. We have tried twice and both time it's been hard to put the condom on as it is not hard enough and we have been in a rush.
Also it's both our first time, and I know that it's tight down there for her so it may make the task a bit harder.
Any advice on what could help my issue would be fab, I just want to maintain an erection and make sure everything goes smoothly!

You are getting into a performance anxiety erectile dysfunction situation. This has nothing to do with your masturbating and everything to do with watching yourself trying to get an erection. Take intercourse off the menu for a while and you will be fine.

To stop masturbation, you can do abdominal breathing (google for details).Do this breathing for 10 minutes twice a day. when there is an urge for sex, take 6 or 7 breaths. This will calm your sexual urge. In this way yo can reduce your masturbation. Experiment with female condom. or lubricated one. Tips on masturbation; use lubricated hand, do not stop breathing, and do not do it in prone position., empty your bladder before doing it......
