PE leading to ED

Anyone else find they struggle on some level with both PE and ED? I’m a week into this and am amazed at how much I relate to some of the material and I think my biggest problem is overthinking every aspect of a sexual encounter
I do experience PE quite frequently which means I have no confidence which leads me to losing wood. I also feel an instant negative energy as soon as something isn’t perfect
Sex for me is my brain going am I hard? Am I losing it? Will it come back? Am I about to come? Can I do this?
These thoughts just spiral and spiral until I end up feeling like I can never have a normal sex life
After just a week I feel I’ve identified a lot of my issues, I just hope I can solve them

Bro I’m the exact same! The spiral of questioning removes all the joy from something that should be fun and relaxing! I’m a week in as well and staying positive that we will overcome this!

Did you always have these issues or did something trigger them. I used to never think about sex and it always went off with out a hitch. But one day about a year ago I got in my head for some reason an couldn’t get hard. And it’s been a. Roller coaster ever since . I know my issues are all in my head and also irrational. Do you guys feel like your own brain is sabot. You

Sharing a win! I had sex yesterday and whilst I can’t say exactly how long it lasted (didn’t time it lol) it wasn’t ages but it was better than I have had for ages and I felt more control than I have for years. I was in the moment and no negative thoughts took over. This is really helping keep going guys - progress is there!

I’ve never had PE - although I (very) occasionally misjudge it. ED crept up on me a few years ago. But yes, I identify very closely with your description of overthinking it.
We have stumbled across a way of distracting me, and it has proved an effective, but I’m sure temporary, relief from ED.

I can get and stay hard, but can‘t orgasm.
Any simular experiences?
Thanks.
