Carl and a doctor explain how erectile dysfunction often stems from performance anxiety in long-term relationships. When initial excitement fades and sex becomes scheduled, pressure builds and failure reinforces itself. Sexual fitness works like physical fitness: you lose it when you stop using it.
How you overcome ED with sexual fitness.
Okay, so for me, and I know there's a lot of men that experience this too and may not talk about it, just how anxiety.
Inducing sex can be like specifically with.
A long term partner. Because that was a situation I've been in so many times where if I go back over all.
Of my relationships, yeah.
They start off on fire and I'm good to go anywhere, anytime, how many ever times a week. And I just take control.
And then sure enough.
Months go on, years go on, and all of a.
Sudden it's.
Like, oh, Carl, you know what? It's date night. You have to have.
Sex this night because it's been two weeks and then something comes up.
I put so much pressure on myself.
And then sure enough.
It doesn't happen.
And that just. It's like putting on weight, right? Like you skip the gym a few times and it's not that big a deal, but then it ends up being months since you've been to the gym.
