Sexual performance anxiety?
Jump to: Newest in thread
Does anyone else have this to a various degree?
I enjoy the natural some may say primal aspect of sex...
Though after always feeling my performance was,nt adequate for others I,ve been with,and I,ve been very underwhelming.
This in turn creates anxiety for the next time.

When I was younger I did ....
But now I look at all forms of sex as fun.... So if you can't laugh at yourself ( If things don't go to plan ) then it just makes sex boring ...
I love the feel of excitement especially with first time partners |

I don't have sex any more, therefore no anxiety! Can't say I ever suffered from it though, was always too much in the moment. I'm sure it's different for men |

Yes if I was meeting someone from this site for sex, then I think I would feel like that.. Because I'm not a very experienced man and the ladies on here are very experienced and I have seen many profiles asking for experienced men.
I used to think meh who needs lots of experience, sex isn't rocket science.. But time and time again I have seen women seeking experienced men, so it makes me feel anxiety.  |

I think fab propagates the ideal of the ‘expert swordsman’ (you don’t see many veris saying people were ‘average’ or ‘poor’. This naturally leads guys to worry if their own performance will be up to scratch. This is a viscous circle and overthinking it will affect your performance. It’s a self fulfilling prophecy!
I’d be honest with a potential partner(s) about your concerns, if the worst happens it happens. They will either deal with it and you’ll no doubt carry on and have a good time or, if they don’t (or you make your excuses) you probably won’t be/want to meet them again. |

No, with age and experience has come confidence, as in every area of my life. You're not always going to be feeling it, you're not always going to click, shit happens, sometimes men may have difficulty with getting or maintaining an erection, or holding themselves back in a new encounter. Grownups get this. |

Sex is different for us all, it doesn't have to be bells and whistles every time surely, meaning there are different ways to enjoy things. If someone is still there with you at the end then I reckon you've done ok  |

"My biggest pressure I’d say is making sure the lass finishes as I have so many female friends who complain about it being shit I feel pressured to ensure the lady finishes"
Maybe they should take a more pro-active approach instead of whinging to others? |

Sometimes.
Sometimes you chat to folk and they give youna “scenario” of what they plan to do to you. Usually involves bedroom gymnastics and me orgasming 35 times and gushing like a geyser.
It makes me anxious (slightly) as it kind of puts pressure on me to be a performing seal, so i either don’t meet them or i meet them and i’m left wondering if my one orgasm was enough for them.
Also those who bang on about past meets sucking their cock like a dyson and everything else they did (that they expect you to do, and do it even better) - makes me feel meh.
Not everytime. But sometimes.

No. I tend to live in the moment and go with what feels right.
I think this is probably more an issue for men though, the perceived onus is on them to be some kind of stallion and have loads of tricks and treats when really sex takes two, there's so much more to it than the physical acts, if the chemistry is right then mediocre sex can me mind-blowing just like if it isn't there then no matter how good your performance is it just won't cut it. |

I just wouldn't want to disappoint anyone. I like pleasing and if I couldnt please a fab lady enough then I think it would eat me up and i would feel like a failure.

I agree with this.
In the past I've not met people if I felt that the expectation or pressure was on me to be some form of machine or they took the attitude that it was about 'measuring up'.
Sex should be mutual.

Performance?....
It's not a competition OP, ever. We are none of us circus animals....
Isn't it more about what we give receive share, rather than worrying about keeping score?
Perhaps feeling the need to "perform" less, and relate more, may be better for you, and for others?

Have thought about this more since considering going to clubs. If I were to get the opportunity to play there, it would be on my mind as to how long I’d last.
Given no prior history of playing in a club and not having had sex for about a year, I don’t think I’d be able to get it off my mind.
Tongue wouldn’t be affected, mind....and he’s a bit of a demon.  |

Not having the stamina I once had because of depression meds does tend to bother me (mr) but I'm working fairly hard to get my fitness back up to counter act it |

If I fancy the guy, all is well. If I don't, we won't have sex. Simple as that. If we get on and chemistry is mutual, then we'll find out how to work our bodies. |

I do have wobbles. An ex cheated on me and blamed it on my inability to take a very hard, deep pounding because I find it uncomfortable. I try not to let my insecurities ruin experiences for me though. As long as they seem to be enjoying themselves its all good and the best experiences are when you communicate with each other in order to create a satisfying experience for you both rather than it being about "specific skills". |

Communicate, don't be shy, take an interest in the person, be confident but respectful and just have fun.
More you over think and evaluate yourself more chance of poor performance you will have.
All else fails always blue pills probably make drive home bit uncomfortable lol. |
