For the past year or so, I’ve been finding it increasingly rare for me to get a spontaneous erection from seeing something arousing, talking to women, kissing women, seeing them naked, etc. it’s almost as if my brain’s sexual department is on permanent holiday. During my last three sexual encounters, (one of which I was very comfortable with my partner, the other 2 not so much) I still experienced ED no matter how relaxed I felt. I know most of it is mental but I’m starting to also think it could be a physical problem. Has anyone else experienced a sudden drop off in experiencing erections and overall arousal? Any tips? Additionally I feel like my penis is smaller than usual, which I’ve looked up and found some answers about penis shrinkage related to stress but I’m not sure if that’s the culprit for me.
Can relate to this a lot man. I had a really hard breakup this year, a couple of months later I’ve met my partner who I’ve never felt so connected and in love with someone before.
I feel like it’s a mix of lack of time to process the last long term relationship and the tough breakup, my own mistakes etc in that relationship,
Plus a massive feeling of performance anxiety and pressure on myself to perform because I’m so in love.
But I’ve never had such a drop off of arousal and barely even masturbate a home by myself.
Overthinking, allowing my inner criti. To take over and playing out stories in my head impacts it a lot.
I’ve started taking supplements like maca, zinc, magnesium and Korean ginseng, mornings powder daily which I don’t feel are doing much yet but trying to stay calm, breathe better and trust in myself, my body and the love and reassurance my partner gives me.
Try bring in mindfulness practice/yoga meditation and breath work or any of these even a little can help with being present. Believe in yourself, you can do it man!!
