what causes erectile dysfunction?

I'm 32, but this sounds sad/long but then it's a long story behind my ED:

- As a teen i was fat and weird, and girls used to call me ugly, so it knocked my confidence. i didn't have much confidence then and it affected me since i thought women wouldn't like me. so when i used to wank it affected my mind and i couldn't get fully hard.
- Now i'm more confident overall, i guess life experience and i'm a man now. but then I still have this issue. but then i haven't had a GF before (another issue not going into here..) and i want to, but then this issue still comes up.
- Another thing is that i know when i'm fully erect, i am quite long/thick, and i think some women would be scared of it. i know this is something indeed to get over, since it's a boon not a negative.
- I saw a sex therapist lately, and i got a blood test to see PSA/Testosterone levels. the PSA was OK, but she said the testosterone was low. it was 4.7 np/dl, which I've read is normal per se, but she said it was too low. Is this correct?
- She gave me some testosterone meds, and i don't think there is anything physically wrong. My intuition in life is pretty strong, and i think it's psychological.

Am I on the right track, or does it need to change?

In sex, confidence is the major asset. you can boost up your confidence further by doing some exercises. Google male deer exercises, kegel exercises, Sat kriay, Kundalini yoga, anal peripheral prostate massage.( some one has claimed that this massage is more powerful than kegel exercise.. Search for breathing exercises. If you control your breath, you control your body. Pranayam is part of yoga. Abdominal breathing is good for sex as well as health and mind.
