Had steady sex with my girlfriend for 4 years. Randomly one day couldn’t get hard and I worried about it so much since then that every time after that I couldn’t get hard. When we’re laying down relaxed I’ll get hard but when it’s time to have sex, I lose it. It didn’t happen for 4 years now I can’t get out of my head
I get anxious leading up to sex which causes me trouble and stress and end up avoiding sex or not being able to perform. It has caused me to avoid relationships to avoid feeling of failure/rejection and anxiety. It has turned romantic relationships and sex into something stressful for me

Yes I can feel myself begin to get hard. Then I start worrying about it and I get in my head about everything.
I have found that my anxiety arrives just as my wife is about to orgasm. I desperately want her to achieve orgasm and with every second i await this result, I am also trying to avoid thinking about failing her. Now it has become a cycle and has significantly changed our sex life.

I often feel anxious right before I’m about the have sex with my wife. I’m pretty young so it’s frustrating and emasculating to feel the need to even seek help. I want to enjoy sex to its fullest but I don’t think I can do that right now.
I couldn’t get hard during my first time and she was super supportive and cool and we tried for hours and I just could stay hard and I tanked my confidence so much
I always get… numb…as soon as I put inside the vagina or before the actual scene
I get anxious cause I think about getting hard and maintaining my erection

Yes, usually before and during foreplay.

I often struggle staying erect with new partners, probably from performance anxiety. It causes me to push away and end relationships. Then I seek sexual gratification from casual partners; maybe I don’t get anxious with them because I’m not emotionally invested. I think this is a downward cycle that is negatively affecting my expectations for sex & intimacy.
I have been with my girlfriend for 3.5 years, and she recently admitted that she has developed feelings for someone else and that the lack of sexual intimacy between us may be an underlying cause. I tried to conquer my fear of sex but I’ve always relied on medication and sometimes even then it can feel unpleasant. I don’t like being touched intimately and sometimes I flinch, so I end up trying to focus on her pleasure and distancing myself mentally. All Its always been a big cause of low self esteem for me.
I had a bad hookup when I was drunk and I couldn’t stay hard. That stuck in my head and compounded to a point where I couldn’t get out of my head during sex. I get hard, worry I might go soft, then it happens and everything gets worse

I do. It affects me negatively. The worry about not being able to satisfy makes it harder to maintain a firm erection

Takes a long time getting up. I am unsure of how best to pleasure my partner and question her thoughts and whether she actually wants to be there with me. I loose my erection as soon as a position changes or I feel it soften slightly.
