For the last few months, my libido seems to have dropped off a cliff. I don’t seem to have any sex drive at all, I used to be perpetually ready for sex, always keen, always horny. I’d masterbate a couple of times a week, wake up hard, easily get hard at the slightest thought of sex, and perform well. But recently, I’ve just felt numb… I struggle to get an erection even when masterbating. As soon as I’m in a position to have sex my mind is full of anxiety and thoughts of failure. I’m generalising and catastrophising about sex almost constantly, battling the inner critic and inner thoughts almost constantly and becoming increasingly anxious about my future ability to ever have sex again… tears are rolling down my cheeks as I type this
You got this man. Keep working on yourself and battling that inner critic with your inner coach.
It’s ok man, breath and find your way through. We’re all on this journey, and we can find that easy anxiety-less fun again
Same boat man, box breathes. I’m also catastrophising my future of never finding a wife because of my situational ed. But we are here trying to get better, and better we will get. Good on you for seeking help, WE ARE ALL GONNA MAKE IT. The only way you have a 0% chance of getting hard is if you don’t even try in the first place, so we will never stop trying. Much love man
Same with me. I endorse the previous replies. Stick with it and you will get the results you want. Do some sensate and soft penis pleasuring. Give both your inner critic and your inner coach a name. Box breathe in stressful situations and above all BE KIND to yourself. You can do it man.
