I’m 23 year old male and tried to have sex when I was 18 but got too nervous and dropped the girl off home. I tried again when I was 19 and I couldn’t get an erection, assuming because I was nervous again because I had precum and was able to get an erection thinking about the encounter when she was gone. I haven’t tried again since because I’ve been too nervous that the same thing would happen again. I’m very insecure about it and just wanna try again but I won’t allow myself to. Anyone have any advice? Are there any exercises on here that would help?

Yes - the ones about recognizing the inner critic and combating negative thoughts should help with this. I had a similar experience to you as a young person but overcame it, so don’t worry it’s pretty normal and you can get past it
