That I have to get an erection straight away, rather than allowing foreplay to build my arousal and erection.

This one is rough. I struggle with this as well. I have a lot of stress in my life at this time and I am just not in the mood. And even when I am, I need some sort of connection to even feel aroused. All of this often makes me feel inadequate and less masculine.

That orgasmic climax is the point, rather than just the feeling of physical and sexual intimacy

Has to be penetrative sex and we both have to cum to have had a good time

That my penis is big enough to satisfy. I’m a grower, not a shower. When I’m flaccid I feel like I’m inadequate. When I’m fully erect my size is fine and pleasured many people with it but I can’t shake that it is still not big enough. I am average sized. 6 inches fully erect.

That I need to stay fully rest at all times and I struggle with the idea that everyone is different

That porn can affect how hard you get with a partner

That I need to be fully prepped to have sex, including not watched porn or comedy recently, be on good form, not have drunk alcohol. I think I look for ways to control preparation because I nervous it will go wrong, which then induces anxiety and makes things worse! Ironically!

That I should get an erection instantly. That plays on my mind at the start of any sexual activity which leads to overthinking and makes me struggle to perform

My problem is I’m single so physical sex with a partner is infrequent and I use porn and masterbation on a frequent basis. Usually nightly. I watch the same type of porn that has a lot of visual stimulation. I use the same routine with masterbation. Although I have an endless supply of seeing exactly the scenes I want with the most perfect visual women I would want. It becomes an absolute normal routine for me. So when I’m with a partner everything is off on my routine. So then the anxiety kicks in and self sabotage from there. I have a romantic getaway in a month. I’m holding off on all porn and masterbation unless it’s in a daily activity on the app. I do use Ed meds. Which also timing is an issue as I’ve never been honest about taking them with my partner which creates more anxiety.

Right now I’m wondering what strategies I can use to think of other ways to be aroused. Porn is so easy and effective, and I’d like partnered sex to be just as easy and effective
