Men are sensitive about sex too

For men as well as women, sex is a psychologically sensitive area. The most common reason for erectile dysfunction is performance anxiety, while stress, depression, relationship problems and too much alcohol can all play their part.

Similarly, premature ejaculation can be caused by anxiety. Again this can develop into a self-fulfilling prophecy in which anxiety about the risk of ejaculating too soon makes your partner more likely to ejaculate prematurely.

Focus on your sensual connection

Removing the pressure to perform and talking through any emotional issues will help to create a relaxed mood, in which you can focus on being intimate and regaining your sensual connection.

As with female sexual issues, if the root cause is psychological, rather than physiological, developing your sense of closeness and understanding will help to resolve any barriers to a full and satisying sex life.
