Working on my mental state around erections

I just wanted to get it off my chest this morning.
I am working on (along with my very supportive wife) some issues that have gotten worse in the last few years around anxiety with getting, maintaining an erection. We otherwise have a great sex life, but I find it difficult not to think negatively about it a lot of the time.
There’s nothing physically wrong but mentally there’s a lot of anxiety that’s built up around this issue, and that keeps popping up and spoiling the fun.
Often ill be ready to go, but then a negative thought pops into my head and I’m gone, but I’m working on this .
I’m finding it helpful to keep talking about it so sharing here - calling it what it is really helps put it in perspective, and appreciate anyone who has similar issues commenting - you’re not in this alone.

I think we are very similar. And I also have a very supportive wife who has gone the extra Mike to spice things up. Good luck

I’m with you on this too. Trying to do the meditations at least twice a day, let’s train our mind to relaxation and calmness, we just need to keep going. Good work all :clap:t3::clap:t3:

Yup, I hear you. I recently began experiencing this issue too. It crazy how it just pops up and just wipes out my erection. Getting out has also helped me but some days I just cant seem to shake it. What also helps me is flirty texting my wife while im at work and also when I send her dick pics, not sure why but that seems to work.
