Losing Erection instantly when partner is on top

I’m 26 and have had ongoing issues with losing erections during sex. This app has helped me a lot in understanding why and regaining some control. However, I’ve always been unable to maintain an erection when any sexual partner I’ve had has been on top.

It’s like a feeling of being overwhelmed. I think maintaining an erection is dependent on feeling ā€˜in control’ for me. Does anyone else have this problem?

I definitely relate to this, but for me it’s always felt like the sensation wasn’t as good.

I had always wondered if I would have had the same problem with a hyper-flexible and athletic porn star. (But much more likely I’m just looking to move the blame away from me.)

This is because of the restriction of blood flow when you’re laying down. Obviously everyone is different but i overcome this by getting more turned on in other positions before i let my partner go on top. When i feel like i’m losing control, i switch it up again.

Hope this helps

Ooh the blood flow comment is interesting… for me when I started having issues she would try to get me to relax by being on top but maybe that was counterproductive…

I can definitely relate. Her on top is a struggle for me. The one time it did feel better and I could keep an erection was when she was moving very slowly and gently, gave me more of a sensation. Perhaps you could try that. But I agree, think it’s a control thing.
