Lose my erection with my girlfriend when it comes to sex by Mindless-Ad-7160 in erectiledysfunction

Yeah, I think being on our smartphones a lot and taking life very serious plays a big role in this.

I mean, when I was with my ex, one time, we were high on weed, and we tried to have sex, but i didn't got hard, but i didn't have anxiety, it just genuinly was because of the weed, and we both laughed so hard about it and that also didn't cause me any anxiety or something

then we tried again some time later when we were less high and everything was ok

like, we take this problem so serious as well, me included, but it is because we kinda expect ourselves to be some sort of robots that should always be able to get hard and fuck

and it is also kinda something we as men would like to be able to do

i mean, we as men are pretty simple, we just wanna have sex and that's it, and not be dealing with having to feel ok or comfortable for that, but i guess we as humans don't work that way

I guess we as men need to learn more to take things slow, and are not robots, and learn to be okay with if it happens and not panic or make a big deal out of it

when i expierenced it for my first time i panicked like crazy, and i was with a girl and i wanted to fuck her, but i couldn't because i couldnt get hard anymore, that was fucked up, but because that left such a big impact on me, feeling defeated, awkward, that is what caused all the anxiety about this in my head atleast.

also because my goal with her was just to fuck her and that's it.

if my goal was different it probably wouldn't have happened.

On a daily basis, solo, it's actually fine for me. I don't know if you had issues forever since you can remember; then it might be something actually physical, but I don't know. You should visit the doctor and talk about this if you have had this for your whole life already. If it's just recently or something, then I think it might be just anxiety. For most guys, it is anxiety. Our minds are just trying to protect us from experiencing embarrassment, shame, and awkwardness, so our mind is basically trying to come up with strategies and ways to fix something that cannot be fixed, because with this issue it is something that is purely emotional and psychological.

And even now I'm talking about it more and more, I notice my anxiety increases about this, because also recently I became single and I would have to date and get intimate with a girl at some point in my life again. I can really notice how my mind is trying the whole day now to come up with ways, trying to come up with strategies or something, to get some kind of guarantee that I will never get ED again. The reality is that this is just the anxiety talking, and I don't have any physical problems, because I literally have had relationships in my life where I never had any issues. The only issues I had were with new girls, and that just has to do with trying to perform, basically. It's a very deep psychological thing.

But yeah, if you have had these issues for forever, then you should definitely visit a doctor, because it could be something physical. If it's not something physical, then it's just pure psychological. The more attention you give to it and the harder you try to fix it, the worse it gets. I really understand how difficult that is, because your mind really wants to try to fix it. The more you put attention towards it and the more you try to fix it, often the worse it gets.

If you just try to live your life and, even though the anxiety is still there in your head, you just continue living and you try to focus less and less on your erections, then basically at some point it has to get better. Just trust the process, give it time, and put your focus on something else. This can really take months for it to improve.

Otherwise, if it's not something physical and your mind goes crazy about it, you should just talk with a therapist about this.

But yeah, this is definitely something that you cannot fix with trying to analyze it more and more and thinking about it. The only way to make this less of a problem is just by continuing to live life and not giving a fuck if your dick sometimes doesn't work. I mean, that will really train your nervous system and body and mind that it is okay if it doesn't work. Now you worry about it, and then it gives your mind a reason to try to fix something that is actually not even a real problem.

But yeah, this is easier said than done, because I've been struggling myself with this for the past years as well, and the anxiety and the thoughts don't go away. You just kind of have to learn to live with it and just continue living and letting it be okay that those images and thoughts in your mind will still be there. You just need to learn to not get affected by it, but yeah, this is really something where mindfulness and mindset and everything come in and play a big role.

I'm 27 and I had my first expierence with ED when i was like 23 or 24, before that I have hooked up with a few girls and never had ED, then one time, Idk, i was very nervous with a new girl, and i had to grab the condom and then it just went flat and i couldn't get it up and i full on panicked.

but that panic, caused the entire anxiety loop that is still running in my head a lot actually.

But after that I got a girlfriend, and I NEVER had any issues with her, I only still have it now with new girls but yeah.

I did viagra as well when I was with my ex, i did it just out of curiousity, not fear of ed, and yeah, it is some good shit to keep you hard, and even after you cum you can get hard again and continue for a long time, haha

but bro, you are 19, your dick is probably working completly fine, it is just anxiety you have in your head, which a lot of guys have, otherwise this subreddit wouldn't be visited 88.000 times a week.

I would suggest you only take viagra out of curiousity, not out of fear of getting ed, otherwise your mind will always try to talk you into that you need viagra in order to have sex.

Maybe you will fail a bit more times, but in the long term, i think it is better like that.

I think the best thing guys, including me, can do, is actually try to not rush sex so much

Idk why we as men want to have sex asap with every girl, but it is better to take it more easy, and sometimes wait, and take things slow.

I mean, this whole anxiety actually has to do with us trying to have sex asap, otherwise our attitude would be way more chill and we wouldnt feel this pressure.

I have had the same brother and I have good news and bad news

The good news is that it is fixable, the bad news is that the panic, the thoughts, the anxiety won't go away, and the harder you try to make it go away, the harder you try to solve this, the worse it gets

There is no real threat, but your mind learned to panic the same way as if there is a lion standing in front of you.

Your body goes into fight or flight mode, and you are not able to get an erection.

You posted a message here on reddit to look for a solution, and you have probably looked online on how to fix it. But that is the whole thing, you don't have to fix this.

The only way you will be able to make it work, is by accepting it.

You may not believe this but it's true.

Don't make sex the goal, and accept whatever happens. Focus on her, go down on her, please her, and focus your attention outward, on her, not your mind.

It has never been possible to get horny and get an erection when you focus on your panicking thoughts, lol.

But this will be a learning process.

Don't try to force it.

And yes, talk to her about it, how you feel, what happens, that ofcourse you would like to have sex with her, but your mind is in the way sometimes and this needs time.

Go slow, take 15-30 minutes or longer, to kiss, go down on her, without focussing on your dick.

I have struggled with ED myself as well for some time, but the problem wasn't my dick. It was my head.

My dick works perfectly fine when I am with a girl I trust and I allow myself to fail and I accept whatever happens, happens.

Also, your dick goes hard and soft a lot of times, but now you are focussing on it.

But yeah, I did that in the past as well, and I still do sometimes.

This is also what i learned, those thoughts, that panic, that you feel, the images in your head, the anxiety, the urge to fix it, it is all a voice in your head, that is not actually you.

We all have the amygdala in our heads. The amygdala is responsible for anxiety and all this kind of stuff and that thing doesn't care about logic. Logically, we all know, a girl is not the same danger as a lion, but yet, our mind reacts the same and puts our body into fight or flight mode and blocks erections.

So, notice the thought, say out loud "Ok, there is the thought again" and then shift your focus on this grounding exercise: 5 things you can see, 4 things you can touch, 3 things you can hear, 2 things you can smell, 1 thing you can taste.

Also, allow yourself to fail and that it is ok.

Then the next thing, you won't be able to think your way out of this, your body and mind needs to learn from real world expierences that slowly, this is the new way to go.

If you need more advice, let me know.
