Do any of these stories sound familiar?

The third one for sure , and the second one either. I clearly understand where it comes from but still don’t know how to fix it in a correct and safe way

Number 3 mostly

3rd one for me

Yes

Yes

I remember what sex was like when I was younger and get frustrated that it isn’t happening as easily as it once was. Then once I have gone into my head it’s over. The frustrating part is I know it but I haven’t found yet à way to not go to my head in the first place… ànd the cycle has only seemingly gotten worse :face_exhaling:

Definitely 1 ;(

Shoot. All 3 hit

Feel like I broke my physical sexuality

I can relate. I’m so glad to be here taking this step towards reclaiming my healthy sexuality.

All three makes sense to me, it sucks to be in your head an unable to deliver an it only becomes a bigger worse cycle next time

This describes my situation exactly. My partner thinks it’s a lack of attraction in them and it’s pushing them away. But then my fear of this happening makes my body not work. A vicious cycle that I can’t seem to break.

Exactly. This may have led to eventual failure of my marriage.

Yep. Never experienced a sex life without this.

I’ve struggled to stay hard and to climax. I know some of this may be related to the prescription medications I take, but the shame of not being able to perform is worse than the issues the medications are treating

They take it personally. Also I’m not sure if there is a physical reason or not and I’m too scared to get checked

Yes all three

Yes yes and yes

I’m with a new woman who I love and she loves me, but many times I cannot stay hard after I get an erection. We still have a nice time, but I wish I could be hard for longer without so much self stimulation. I get self conscious about it and that feeds the anxiety feedback loop.
