Do you ever get anxious during sex? How does it affect you? (Part 2)

Yes it affects the way I paform

Yes I do get anxious now trying to get erect before sex. It makes it near impossible to get an erection. Me and my wife are trying to have children, and my wife feels that you shouldn’t have fun during sex for procreation, while also taking into account the fact that I am a very physical touch kind of man. I’ve tried communicating it to her, but I feel it’s too late for me to get myself in the mood now that she tries to help. I was playing with myself to get ready for sexual activity, and I was able to get hard enough to try but when it came to doing, I wasn’t able to maintain an erection, until I tried playing with myself and she was scratching her area in turn it looked like she was playing with herself and it turned me on because I thought she was masturbating in front of me. I’ve always been a very sexually active person, but being with my wife who isn’t very sexual and physical touch due to past relationships she’s had, I often have to ask to even touch her breasts and in turn the answer is usually no. Maybe it’s loss of control, that I can’t just touch her without permission or maybe it’s because my physical touch being my love language isn’t being met. But this is definitely either way something in my head, that I need help with; Due to the fact that I get hard looking at pornography, and morning wood. I saw my doctor, my testosterone levels are normal, I’ve been on diabetic pills for almost 6 months now, because I’ve had bad diets and unhealthy habits for a while, but I’m in the gym more then ever now my diet is way better then what it was, and I’m technically the healthiest I’ve been in my life besides high school. So I know it’s not broken or related to the diabetes. I was at my wits end I asked my doctor for viagra and he only gave me temporary amount because everything came back good in the blood work and there is nothing on paper wrong with me physically. Now I’m exploring the psychological path and I hope it helps.

Yes but For me is usually pre sex or right as it’s starting . It kills me to not be able to get out of my own head about this .

In my previous relationship we weren’t very sex active so I stocked to porn , so I guess that plays big part in my ED, plus, now I get very worried that I’m no gonna be able to keep an erection or even get one

Definitely- ever since I’ve started having sex I’ve been worried about performing. While single if I had an opportunity to hook up it would be in my mind and inevitably lead to not being able to get hard. Now, years later, that I’m married, this anxiety has stuck with me and led to the same issues when trying to have sex with my wife. Viagara has worked but trying to avoid relying on it always seems stressful as well.

I get anxious about actually getting hard, putting myself under immense pressure. Then my brain goes into overdrive during sex, focussing on keeping the erection. Which takes me away from the intimate situation and entirely focused on on staying hard. Which in turn means I start to lose the erection altogether

Get anxious quite a bit, the minute I do I loose my erection or can’t get one. Then become overwhelmed with inferiority and it’s game.over.

I almost always get anxious. I start to overthink. I feel like I won’t be able to please my partner.

My penis doesn’t get hard and my heart beats faster

I’ve had performance anxiety since I was a teenager. I am in a long-term relationship now. Where I don’t have those issues. But I’ve noticed when we’ve tried to explore other things, I don’t feel as comfortable.

Yes. My penis doesn’t get erection.

Yes. I cannot perform

I wouldn’t say I am overly anxious about my ED. I try hard not to be and it doesn’t really spoil the sexual activity with my new partner .
I find it frustrating that I can achieve an erection with the help of Viagra and the stimulation of Porn or phone sex lines but fail miserably when it comes to the real thing

Yes I always focus on how to please my partner

Yes. I get my body so excited and nothing happens or it works only a little but then faulters.

Yes I do get anxious before and during sometimes to the point of cumming fast, and we can be touching and feeling each other and sometimes nothing I try to obtain an erection but nothing, then sometimes I go soft immediately after cumming and can’t stay hard to take care of her. It makes me feel bad and worse it makes her feel like she is not attractive

Yes I do. I think it definitely stems from a negative experience I had in my early sexual encounters when I was 18 and now it’s just constantly in the back of my mind. I’ve been lucky enough to have partners who are understanding, but every time it happens it feels like an opportunity missed, which just adds to the anxiety more.

My erections do not last hence I cannot penetrate my wife

I’ve recently become single and whilst dating new people I try and show my best self and try somewhat impress them. So when it comes to getting intimate with new people, my mind gets really anxious because I really want to provide my partner with a good time and satisfy their needs.

Worry about maintaining an erection and then lose it
