Performance Anxiety

By (user no longer on site) OP     over a year ago

I had this unpleasant experience a few weeks ago whenever I hooked up with a new partner and would like to ask for some advice, mainly if there is a way of preventing performance anxiety and what's the best way to get over it as I got rather upset with myself whenever it happened

The more you think about it the worse it will get. It happens to everyone at some point, its happened to me. To all the guys who say it hasn't happened to them, that just means it hasn't happened yet.

If it does happen again, don't make a big thing of it, penetration isn't the only way to play, there are lots of ways to make sure you both still have a fun night.

Quickest way is something like viagra - once you do it fine again a couple of times the anxiety will go and you'll likely be fine the next time and forget you didn't take the viagra

Depends how the anxiety manifested itself I guess - the two obvious ones being lack of erection and/or cumming too quickly.

Either way a lot of it will be in your head and you make it worse by worrying about it - just remember it happens to everyone at some point for any number of reasons.

The best thing to do is try not to beat yourself up about it - just chalk it up to experience and move on. If it keeps happening over a period of time then seek advice to be sure there's not a medical reason (which there's unlikely to be at your age) but for now treat it as a one off and try and relax for next time.

There could be any number of reasons behind it, including tiredness, too much to drink etc.

Dependent on what actually happened there are things you can do to prevent a recurrence but generally the best thing to do is try not to worry about it and relax - although I know that's easier said than done.

I would suggest that you don't hide behind false bravado but equally don't read too much into it. It happens and isn't a sign of anything other than you were nervous! If you're lucky enough to have an understanding partner who doesn't feel her self-confidence is threatened, then accept the "effects" when it happens and carry on being intimate (look after her, massage each other etc). Once you take away thoughts on "what it means about you" etc you'll find the issue will go away by itself!

Maybe have a social first meet, no pressure. And then if you want to meet again explain things and be sure she/they won't judge you for it

Sex doesn't have to be like porn, it's not a performance.

It should be an enjoyable, fun experience between 2 (or more) people and no need to 'perform'

One thing I will say... And I know that this is difficult... But try not to overthink it OP.

It sounds cliché, but it really does happen to most at some point. My ex was the same when we both slept together the first couple of times. He became the best lover I've had so far. If you just try to take it slowly and explain to the woman, I'm sure they can help you relax enough to 'to do the deed' so to speak. Once you get that fear of it happening again out of your head, I'm sure you'll be firing on all cylinders in no time .

Understand that it is absolutely and utterly normal. Men are not supposed to perform every single time.

If sex is an ordeal then you do have problems

One thing I will add to the above - whatever you do, at your age, do NOT be tempted to try Viagra or any other similar drugs without first seeking medical advice and having them prescribed - unless there is a serious underlying medical condition you should have absolutely no need for them at your age and could in fact be making the problem worse by taking them unprescribed and even risking your own health generally.

Well, I could have used a better word there but so far its been rather like that, probably due to my inexperience

Never considered taking Viagra, I don't want to become dependent on it.

Only reason for the above was because it had been suggested further up thread and IMHO was bad advice. Good to hear you wouldn't consider it

Good advice if you do not have high blood pressure. if you do Viagra can give you a stroke. it works by increasing your blood pressure. Side effects long term leads to ccf cardiac failure where your arteries and heart expands, so does not pump effisiantly just be safe calms is good for relaxing. take your time with a new partner pleasure your partner first fore play is important for both parties. Be safe

Malaga Spain but sometimes Manchester and

As a younger man DONT even think to use Viagra its simply not needed. Think most men have been in the same boat at some point in there life.

I would take a look at your lifestyle as a whole first. Often its not the act of having sex that your have anxiety about but it manifests in your head when having sex. Simply trying to ignore it wont help bud.

As people have said take it slowly,which is difficult on a swinging site as you are here to perform. But I am sure the women will approve of a more sensual build up. Maybe have a social and fondle and build up the anticipation on both sides. Some girls prefer a guy who isnt a wham bam thank you man. (Well not at first anyways lol)

Good luck

Mr

A good friend of mine on here was talking of stamina so I sent her something along these lines:

In my experience, while women can take "anything" even if they have to grit their teeth and take it, men on the other hand go on 1) interest 2) stock levels 3) energy levels 4) natural clock 5) mental state.

Interest means they have to absolutely like/ love what is infront of them or they can't get it up/ keep it up. There is no room for pretence. A man cannot fake orgasm. A man may attend a meet coz he's not had any in a while or out of curiosity or even greed( not wanting to pass the opportunity by) etc. Curious to try a bbw, size 0, a Chinese woman, a mixed race, a black woman,bit tits, small tits, a tv, etc but ar the point it matters most, his true inner self pops out and if he truly does not have an intrinsic interest in what is before him, he will struggle to perform.

Stock level here just means fluid levels. If a guy has had one too many wanks or orgasms, he will struggle no matter what / who is infront of him.

Closely linked to fluid level is energy level which I believe is self explanatory. The law of diminishing returns kicks in.

Number 4 is the natural clock. In simple terms, a 64 year old cannot fuck like a 24 year old.

Sex is as much psychological as it is physical. If the bloke is thinking of wife, kids, petrol, mortgage, girlfriend, a hidden camera, or feels intimidated, etc, performance suffers.

Women go through all the above, I hear you screaming!!!! True!

The only difference is that if and when a woman is struggling, and if she wants to, she CAN GRIT HER TEETH and keep taking it. And the guy will keep hammering away as expected universally.

No amount of teeth gritting on the man's part can keep a distracted dick UP AND ERECT.

what do u say?

The above is bad information even though the intent is good. People should not take medication they don't need and without discussion with their doctor.

Viagra was trialled as a drug to reduce blood pressure and to treat angina.The trials didn't go particularly well. However a side-effect was more easily achieved erections.

Because such medication LOWERS blood pressure it would be dangerous to use other vaso -dilators at the same time.

Viagra is fine but its an easy solution to painting over the cracks, im in the same position as op and it sucks moose dick.

Just relax and dont worry or push yourself else it becomes a viscious circle... Try edging that helps.

Actually thinking ED drugs can make it 'worse' or you can 'dependent' on them is dodgy advice

They have interactions with a small number of blood pressure medications which any reputable online pharmacy or doctor would check before prescribing

Scare stories are not helpful

You don't need chemicals to help you; you're young, and I'm going to assume she was too. I wonder how she reacted and what she did to help you.

I had a 35 yr old explain that he struggles to stay hard, but gets better the more we do it. I did what I could to help him relax, the first time. It got better and better.

You have to not try to perform with a woman/girl. Enjoy what you have in front of you, without concentrating on the penetration part or orgasm. Once you start to relax you will be fine.

"I had this unpleasant experience a few weeks ago whenever I hooked up with a new partner and would like to ask for some advice, mainly if there is a way of preventing performance anxiety and what's the best way to get over it as I got rather upset with myself whenever it happened "

Just to offer a different perspective, is it definitely performance anxiety? Has this happened more than once?

The reason we're asking is that Gavin has had two 'failures' on previous meets. At first we put it down to nerves, then to making sure Stacey was enjoying herself. Then after a little searching online, it seemed that it could be the condoms he was using.

The failures only occurred once he had the condom on. Hard as a rock + condom = disappearing willy!

Turned out that they were too tight and too long. Off the shelf condoms don't account for girthier than average guys, and they're usually a couple of inches longer than the average length. This causes them to bunch up and constrict blood flow too much.

He found a company called they-fit.co.uk. He measured himself and bought the exact size for him. Since the switch - not a single failure

Worth considering x
