Don’t make a big deal of it. It can happen and will happen to all men from time to time. Think of it as ‘just a bad day’.

45

You are good enough, you are worthy, you are valuable. That experience is not a reflection of “you”.

46

You’re not the only one. Let’s just cuddle. No pressure to perform any certain way. Just concentrate on pleasure, that’s it!

47

Okay, this has happened to other people either the first time they tried to have sex or the fortieth time, with their first partner or with their fifth. It is unfortunate of course, but it doesn’t mean it’ll necessarily happen again with the same person or with another person. Maybe think about the days leading up to it - were you stressed or upset about anything? Were there any big changes in your life? How did you react? What were you thinking at the time? Do you think if you were aware of how your thoughts are influencing the situation, it’ll be different the next time?

Talk about it, it’s helpful, never stop learning about yourself.

Don’t worry about it, it happens to everyone from time to time. Don’t think excessively over it, simply know that you can and will perform as long as you keep focus in the act.

Yes, I have told a couple partners about it. One responded with more of a don’t worry about it, do what you need to do to fix it. The other responded with more of a “challenge accepted” attitude towards it.

52

It is very, very common so try not taking it to a point where it becomes an anxiety issue because you can easily deal with it and you do not have to suffer at all.

53

It happens to more people than you might think

54

Stop and truly realize this seriously happens to so many men and is absolutely normal. Do Not allow it define you in any way shape or form, its no different than any other uncontrollable body function, it will happen to each of us eventually, we just need to understand its a normal thing. Getting upset at yourself or someone else (if your a spouse), because their erection isn’t working is a lot like getting mad at a paraplegic who is in a wheelchair because they don’t just get up and walk.

55

It’s not as bad as you think. Don’t ignore it and hope it will go away. Try to find the root of the problem, confront it, and try to work on it as best you can, but know that there is hope.

56

Happens to so many other people. Never give up hope. Try to relax and you may even be able to turn it around mid session. I spent years catastrophizing and thinking i was completely broken but am now learning there are so many tools we can use and no one is beyond help. DONT GIVE UP.

57

Chill out. It’s completely fine and normal. Don’t overthink it. Sometimes it just happens. We are humans, not robots. Don’t be too hard on yourself. Share it with someone close, don’t be affraid of their reaction. Not everyone will tell you what you need to hear, but there are those who will.

You’ve got it in your hands. It is not permanent. And you will overcome it :slight_smile:

This is highly common amongst men, it’s nothing to be ashamed of and just be open about it with people who you trust or want to be intimate with. Seek for support and sign up to Mojo

I would say that it’s quite normal. Women will understand. And he should seek help

Don’t ignore it for 20 years. Do something about it immediately. Learn about it. Talk about it. Deal with it. You’re not broken or deficient. You just have something to work on, like any other skill or ability.

It’s not forever. With the right conversations with partners and friends is a great way to start the journey back to better erections
