I once thought I had ED because for the first few times ive tried to have sex i was unable to but when i got a girlfriend i told her straight up and we tried unsuccesfully a few nights until it finally worked
you knowing that she is cool with it not happening and knowing its not a big deal if it doesnt is half the battle. We now have great sex and im really happy i told her in the beginning instead of being ashamed and embrased.
good luck

 You're 18 kidda, no need to tell your folks what the hell you're up to. Just make an appointment and go along. Good luck.

your 18 now and leaving home. you are now old enough to see your doctor alone, there is no need to ask your mum about going to the doctors. My advice is, if you think you have ED then see your GP, there is no need to mention this problem to your mum, save yourself from embarressment & make an appointment with your doctor

 If you're 18 and ready to move out of the family home, maybe you don't need to mention it to your folks at all...? Just ring up the doc and make an appointment. Then you ask the GP for a referral to a urologist. It's not complicated and it's much less embarrassing than the alternative.
On the other hand, if you're financially dependant on your parents' medical insurance or something, you needn't blurt out everything (and I doubt your mom would really want to know all the details anyway). Just tell her that you think you might have a medical condition that you'd like to discuss with a doctor, and can she make an appointment for you. If she presses the point, you're not required to tell her more than you'd rather not discuss it, but you feel it's important. If she's got normal intelligence, she'll put two and two together and think "Ah. A willie problem. Say no more." End of mystery.
Good luck.

 ED is very common in men ages 18-70 so don't be so dramatic about this. Yes, you can go to your mom and tell her you have ED. She may wonder how you know, but she will understand. Mothers are funny creatures, they tend to love us no matter what we do. Even when were at our stupidest points. ED is very serious though, medically speaking it causes severe depression in men; so don't take it lightly. See a doctor and tell them you'll be amazed at the research they have done about this.
Good luck
Ed
