Dear krushna99,
Firstly it is important to know that most men will have erection problems at some time in their life. You have not mentioned your age but for many people, especially younger guys, it is a psychological cause. Anxiety about performance etc. If it happens once, then you are always worrying if it will happen again, which then causes it to happen!
Viagra and similar medication will help many people, but should only be prescribed by a doctor. Website selling Viagra type pills may not be genuine and could be very harmful. Real Viagra can interact with some medication that you may already be on, and can cause problems if you have heart problems.
GP's are very used to talking to people about all sorts of sexual problems. You certainly won't be the only one. In many areas there are specific clinics that your GP can refer you to that can talk to you about the problem and give advice on the best way of managing it.
Best just bite the bullet and see your GP. Why don't you print off this page and take it with you. Your GP can then read it without you having to actually say it yourself?
Kind regards.

i would ask yourself how long has this problem been bothering you,is it a recent problem,with a particular person,are there any psychological issues i.e stress,bereavement,debt,self esteem etc. is there any chance that there is something biologically wrong eg.diabetes,stroke.
Gp would be a good place to start as they can carry out a very quick examination of the prostate,testes and penis.offer blood tests to rule out hormonal imbalances,diabetes etc and treat you accordingly.
They can then refer you onto other special; people as needed eg.gum clinic to rule out sti infections,psycho support.
let them do what they can to support you otherwise this may go on longer than it needs to and cause you misery.
