ED at 18

I am 18 and I've been kinda sexually inactive after I broke up with my gf. The inactivity remained for 1 month and then everything concluding masturbation went normal. At 12th of December I had sex after so much time of not experiencing it. The act lasted around 2 hours and I came only once. After I left the city I was in and went back home at 15th of December I masturbated twice in 1 hour frame. At 16th of December I started worrying about the fact I don't feel horny at all. And can't really make myself hard even after looking at porn or something else. I thought its normal but then I started worrying again and I masturbated twice in 1 hour frame once again at 18th of December just so I calm down but even tho it was fine my erection was slightly softer than usual. Till now I am really really worried about ED even tho nothing really comes with it. I don't drink anything but water. I eat a lot of different types of food. Never had healthy problems that were strictly ruining my lifestyle. Nothing happened and I am experiencing a lot of pressure under that. I have uni problems but its not stressing me more than 7/10 so I think I am handling stress rn. Not feeling really anxious or anything and I am still living the same life 3 days later even tho I am not horny again and again

Hate to break this to you, but sexual desire doesn't stay the same your whole life.  I mean, for some few people it does, but for most of us we go through different periods of desire, and as we age we get busier and busier with other things and time become a factor and then we get even older and we've done it so often other things about our relationships take precedence.  You're entering adulthood.  You also can't judge your erection by masturbation, and the fact you're masturbating for reasons other than sexual arousal, which is fine, says a lot about your situation -- you're not really all that turned on, you're just habitually masturbating for relaxation or proof of concept so to speak.  You need to chill about it, and know that the real test only comes when you're with a partner, not when you're by yourself.  If you find someone you like and you can't perform then, you might have a problem.  Breakups bring a lot of emotional angst and can also affect our self-esteem.  They radically change our habits, as we go from having a reliably available partner to not having one.  Just relax, live your life, and when you meet someone new you like things will probably be fine.  And there is some hint in your post that you kind of look at sex as a contest.  If you do that, it will become one, and contests have winners and losers and lots of pressure.  Sex isn't a contest.  Peace.

Here's the truth.  I know, I'm old, and everyone I know has also gotten old.  Sex is always going to be weird.  At some point almost every guy has a problem and it's usually psychological.  Know that this type passes.  It just does.  Sometimes it's even a good thing in the long run, because it turns out the person you had the problem with was a problem person and your penis got it before your brain did.  Life happens.  Then you get old and lots of stuff happens.  Enjoy being young.
