One time thing or something deeper?

I was recently having sex with my long term partner, we’d been engaging in foreplay. I was hard, I went to put a condom on and I just went flacid. I don’t know what’s caused it and I’ve struggled to get fully hard since. Feel like a bit of a failure, any thoughts/advice from anyone is much appreciated

Nothing I can tell you other than same thing happened to me then it was a cycle where I got in my head and kept going soft. Then we’d take a break from sex for a while, when we get back to it all is fine but then after a while of good sex the cycle repeats itself. Wish I could fix it.

I have the exact same issue. That’s why I’ve joined this app. The negative cycle will show for a number of months and then disappear for a number of years.

I had the same issue myself. I’ve been with my wife for 5 years, we’ve had great sex, and I’ve never had any erection issues before. Then, about 5 months ago, I lost my erection whilst we were having sex. It was embarrassing, and I felt like a failure. Since then, it has always been on my mind during sex and I started to lose my erection more frequently. I have been using this app for nearly a month now, and it has helped me so much. Not only has it helped me understand why it was happening, but it also given me the tools to deal with it when it does happen. I have had some great sex recently. I did have a situation a few days ago where I lost my erection, but I stayed calm, didn’t let it panic me, and after some additional foreplay was able to carry on. I can only attribute that to the activities and advice I’ve received through this app.

Just understanding why it’s happening which is because you’re focused on it and worried about it. I’ve had this problem all my life for 30 years but with the help of this app and gone through the steps and meditating and realizing what’s going on I’ve improved immensely
