Yes. Performance anxiety and my erection goes down . .
Yes I do. It makes me soft
Yes I get anxious about not getting hard, which sometimes leads to exactly that
This all started when I was 19 years old with my second girlfriend, but we try to rush the sex part, my body and mind would not cooperate. I’m 59 years old now, and that has wanted me my entire life solution for me was hundreds of pills of Viagra, in the last few years, it helped tremendously, but getting ready to start with a new partner, and anxiety is through the roof, which is very typical when I get started with anybody new. Very daunting.
Yes, lately I can go the first round fine but after that I just get in my head. Usually after I’ve slept with the same partner multiple times, it’s like I get progressively less aroused. But I know I am definitely attracted to them still.
When I first started having sexual relations it was very difficult for me to get hard. I’d be good up until it’s time to put on the condom and then shrivel up. I started taking erection pills to build up my confidence and eventually I no longer had to use them, thank God. That was like 4 years ago, and for some reason I’m getting the same issue again, I don’t what it is but I’m glad to know it’s just psychological and not physical.
I‘m 26 and still together w my first sexual partner, for 9 years now. 2 years ago a vicious circle of ED and low libido started. there are times when it‘s better, and we tried a lot. I avoided thinking about it for the first year, only when my gf pressured me to do sth, i went to a doctor and behavioral therapist. now i can comminicate about the topic w my gf, but every time it happens in the bedroom i get really anxious, kind of lika a small panic attack. I suffer severely from this and my partner and my relationship, too. it‘s the biggest issue there‘s ever been in our relationship in these 9 years, and i feel defeated bc i can‘t do anything about it. i hope it will change though.
No i try to remain calm
In my first relationship I was anxious for only the first month after that we had sex almost 3 days a week and I never had a issue again after our breakup I didn’t think about it. I just got into a new relationship. I was fine the first time but I began to get anxious and It has really began to affect me
By thinking I’m not as man enough or good for her.
Not usually
Mostly all the time
Since start of covid my erection have been fluctuating.
Scary sometimes it has made me run away from sex
Everyday I am anxious about sex. I struggle with getting it up and I am nervous about it not working
I try to let it go b/c I know the problem is psychological, but I don’t know how to not think about my equipment malfunctioning when I’m laying in bed naked.
I get anxious that I will cum too fast or that I will not satisfy my partner.
I always feel that I’m so eager to please that I put an unhealthy amount of pressure on myself. It’s definitely worse when it’s someone I just met since I feel like I might just get one shot. It ends horribly lol. I find that it’s not a problem once I’m comfortable with someone or if I’m in a relationship though.
Yes. I’ve had so many times I went soft or couldn’t get hard I pretty much always am anxious when trying to have sex.
Yes
I have never experienced what worry-free sex feels like. Not once, ever since I was 16, have I been able to get and maintain an e rection without the aid of pills. It has absolutely ruined potentials relationships, and it crushes my self esteem every day. I hate that it still happens even during extremely happy moments of my life. It feels like it will never get better and it makes me really sad to think that I might never get to experience that type of confidence.
Yes and it makes me lose focus
Yes I feel really uncomfortable
