The mental shift that’s solved my ED

For any guys suffering with performance anxiety this might help. For years I’ve been affected by ED due to my performance anxiety but now I’ve figured out how to get over it (This is my experience so don’t necessarily expect it to work for you)

The simple answer is to not care. Which sounds silly but it’s the honest truth. After a breaking point I decided to go deeper into why this was happening to me. I sat with a pen and paper and listed all the possible things that were likely affecting my performance anxiety. I came to the conclusion that I wanted to please my partners too much; And also that I wasn’t fully comfortable with my size. I’d recommend doing this, but don’t just write a few sentences. Really go into it and challenge negative thought patterns that may be affecting you.

After truly accepting that what I was putting pressure on myself for was stupid, I had no problem in the bedroom. I was treating sex like a test which led to the ED. But it’s not a test. It’s two people coming together for mutual pleasure. You need to care about yourself and what you gain from the experience and not worry about anything you can’t change. So find out what’s stopping you and accept that in the grand scheme of things that it doesn’t really matter. Focus on this, get comfortable and enjoy. You matter too.

Thank you brothers, all the best with your journeys.

This has been a major drawback for me too. All my life I’ve striven to earn other peoples approvals and this attitude followed me into sexual relationships. “Is it good for her?” “Did she climax?” “What does she think of my body?” “Is my dick too small for her?” I take on board what this course is telling me and your experiences here…I just hope I can be more laid back.

I’m going at it a similar way.
I’m below avg size. I’m a bit overweight (recently lost a bunch tho so my body image is on the mend)
I have PED & death grip also…

New gf. 7 mo. I have developed a pretty good sense of what she likes between my fingers and my oral. Often I go into sex thinking imma get her off a few times digitally then kiss my way down and get her off a few times with my mouth and she’ll fall asleep in my arms a sweaty lil mess and she’ll be :100:satisfied. Sometimes she’s so worn out- that’s what happens. Sometimes she goes wild and goes down on me and won’t take no for an answer. That’s hot for me.

Thanks for this. I am just beginning the same journey. The pressure on me is completely by me. Having a new partner is not helping but just need to relax and stay in the moment
