How do men start to confront some of the anxiety? We're talking about how diminished self worth can impact sexual performance. And a lot of the times that will show up as some type of insecurity or a lot of anxiety of like, is this going to go well? Am I going to be able to perform, etc. How do men start to deal with either the diminished sense of self worth, of I'm not good enough, or what I want and desire sexually isn't okay, or there's something wrong with it, and then how do they start to deal with some of that anxiety?
So I think it does start with, if you think you're the only one and you're just terrible at sex and you keep bashing yourself for it, there's no way out. You're just constantly putting yourself down, diminishing your self worth, which is a horrible place to be for premature ejaculation. It's up to 30 to 50% of men that experience it at some point in their lives. So being able to have the understanding, I'm not alone in this. This isn't like totally abnormal. There's a perfectly good reason for this. That's another important thing for men to understand that they think, like, I was just born this way, I'm fucked up.
