I get excited during foreplay and even get an erection. Then it goes away when the time comes, as a result I get nervous and anxiety sets in.
It doesn’t feel like full blown anxiety or fear. But I keep asking myself in my head “Why am I not getting hard?” Then I give up.
Feel like I am in my head and the sex is just happening without really connecting to what is going on.
My heart raced and I lose my erection. Then I get very sad.
yes I feel very anxious as does my wife due to the amount of issues we have had throughout our marriage when it comes to sex. We love to be intimate together but when it boils down to the moment we both back off and shut down due to both of us wanting it to be seemless instead of complicated and unknown of the outcome. we have tried every medication which works but at the same time Im 30 and feel like im too young to be dependent on a drug to control when we can be intimate.
As soon as I think this isn’t going to happen it doesn’t and then the panic and feelings of embarrassment set in.
Ever since the first time I had ED I’ve been worried it’s going to happen again and it’s happened during some of the greatest sexual experiences or opportunities I’ve had recently which has left me really frustrated and even more anxious next time. Now when I’m fairly certain sex is on the cards I’ve been really worried on the build up and even if things go according to plan I sometimes just don’t cum or go limp during.
It’s becoming like a snowball effect and recently viagra hasn’t worked because I’m stuck in my own head.
Yes, with every first sexual encounter with a new partner. The more I’m attracted to them the worse it is. Oddly, after the first success the anxiety is lifted but until then it’s a struggle that generates further anxiety in other facets of life and sometimes leads to depression. It’s not a fear of performance but rather fear of not getting it up that all stemmed from a single experience in my 20’s. Ten plus years later and I’m still thinking about it.
Yes. It has happened recently with my newest relationship. I’ve had no other occurrence of ED in the past. I have been losing erections in the middle of having intercourse.
Never used to but I didn’t once before sex and I couldn’t get it up. Now it’s grown into a full blown discussion I have in my head when I’m about to have sex
Yep
Yes, I get I my head and wonder if I’m hard enough or if I can keep it hard enough and it always leads to me not being able to perform.
Most of the time when I’m with someone new, I worry about being able to satisfy her and then I start overthinking everything.
Yes from the when first happened I’m always waiting to see if things will go wrong
I think about it days in advance and constantly worry about it not going up, and so it normally doesn’t
Yes since the first flop as soon as its time to put in and stay errect I’m thinking about if I can do it or not straight away
Yes, I’m anxious about failure or my wife’s anger
Mainly just before sex. I worry that I won’t be able to get aroused and then my partner will be discouraged; I overthink it.
During sex I get anxious when I’m on bottom, so I prefer not to be in that position.
Yes! Very anxious. Not present in the moment at all and in my head. I can’t stay hard and start to freak out.
Yes often. More often now that it seems to be about trying to stay hard and being able to cum. Anxiety and fear kicks in.
