Step back in progress

I have been using this app for about two months now. I have seen the benefits of using this app in particular with meditation, kegal excericse, stress management etc. This has translated into stronger erections and closer intimacy with my wife. This week I have not been able to meditate as much or focus on the all due to work and life. Last night I was in the mood while my wife was out shopping. I been trying simmering technique with my wife to create anticipation etc. while my wife was shopping I begin to masturbate, I was rock hard and enjoying the sensations. I decide to be cheeky and sent my wife a picture of my erected cock! She was caught by surprise and loved it, her exact words was 'thats a hard cock, I’m coming home now". I stopped masturbating until she got home, when she got home she was ready to play however, I could not get hard, I went down on her, I tried breathing techniques but my dick could not get hard, when I eventually got hard and entered her I came straight away. I could see my wife was a little disappointed and I was too. During this session I felt the pressure again..now I feel like I have gone backwards after making so much progress. Has this happened to anyone else, any advise?

I think that’s absolutely normal. One bad experience doesn’t undermine the progress made.

I’d say part of the journey is recognising that it won’t be perfect every time. You’re not a machine and you will have off days. Long term I’d recommend continuing to push back against the narrative that sex is a performance that you either succeed or fail at, and see it differently

It’s easy to focus on the times it didn’t go according to plan and it’s very easy to forget all of the amazing times where it went perfectly!

That’s your inner critic yapping in your ear my friend. Laugh it off, brush it off your shoulder and focus on all the times that you got it up and had amazing sex.

You’ve got this :flexed_biceps:

Yeah I’ve been using this app for about 2 years. I Have had several times where I basically relapsed after I thought I was doing really well but then I always recovered and it always got better.

Pretty much the same as exact thing has happened to me as well. If your wife is anything like mine it’s really hard for them not to get in their head . I’ve had better luck with not stimulating myself and waiting for my wife. For instance when she’s out with her girlfriends and I know she’ll be ready to go when she gets home I’ll try to just hold off and initiate with her when she gets home . Where as in the past I would send her sexy pics etc. and even masturbate and just get to the edge . And then go at it when she got home . For some reason now when I do that I seem to get in my head and not able to get an erection right away. Anyhow you’re definitely not alone and you definitely can get through this and make progress I am living proof! Yesterday I came home for lunch to help her move some furniture and she pulled me into the bathroom and we had spontaneous sex no pills no anything. Huge win for me! You got this!

Absolutely ! We are all in this together. One question did this issue come out of nowhere? Or is it something that you’ve always struggled with?
