Men of Dating.mobi, how do you deal with anxiety affecting your sexual performance?
So, the past couple times my girlfriend and I have attempted to make love, I've been unable to get, or in some cases maintain an erection. We never had this problem before during the course of our now 6 month relationship but all of a sudden I'm starting to get nervous when it comes time to get intimate and I don't want this anxiety ruining our relationship. Sex was always one of the best parts of our relationship and we had some amazing sexual experiences together, but now my penis almost feels numb when I try to get hard for her. Some background: we recently did go through a bit of a rough patch where we fought some but we're moving on and both growing immensely, but part of me thinks that rough patch is what's first of all causing the anxiety, which in return is causing the inability to perform the way I used to. Also, I'm a 28 year old male with no medical history that would potentially point to this issue.
Any help or advice from anyone who's experienced something similar is greatly appreciated, I don't want my anxiety to ruin this relationship.
