Hi! this is embarrassing but very common therefore don't worry !
In fact, it is the most common cause of 'impotence' in starters who never had direct physical contact; they are overwhelmed with situation, society, looks, fore-play etc. rather than the sex itself thereby fail to get erection just because of stress!
Slow proceeding and self counselling and a mutual discussion is the most important points; if not working meet a psychiatrist.
All the best!
