Nerves about my performance, how can I stop this?

Tagged as: Sex<< Previous question   Next question >>
Question - (18 October 2011) 1 Answers - (Newest, 19 October 2011)
A male United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

I am a little nervous about performance anxiety.

I've slept with two girls and with both of them I've had this trouble.

I don't understand why I have performance anxiety as it isn't as though I lack confidence in myself I am very happy in myself. However, when it comes to sex despite being told I am apparently 'amazing' when I do have my good days. I also have days where I just can't get the idea of losing an erection out of my mind.

I am fine in the foreplay, like most people with this usually are but as soon as it comes to penetrating I cannot get an erection and if I do it is a weak one that doesn't last very long.

What I need to know is how can I just relax and keep performance problems out of my mind. I know the only reason it happens is because I think about it but when I am getting closer to sex I can't manage to free my mind from this thought.

I know I need to be totally relaxed and connected to the girl but with this running through my head I can't be.

Any ideas on how to stop this?
