Coping with problems in the bedroom

Many of the men I see come to me because they are experiencing erectile dysfunction problems.

The men, who vary in age, had previously taken their ability to perform in the bedroom for granted and have trouble understanding why this is happening to them now.

A common cause of erectile dysfunction, in young men, is performance anxiety.

They experience great fear every time they engage in sexual intercourse, especially if it is with a new partner.

They terrify themselves with thoughts of: "will I get hard enough", "will I keep it up", "how long will I last" and "will she tell her friends?"

These are common performance anxiety thoughts, but they can cause men to lose their erections immediately.

This, in turn, exacerbates their anxiety and leads to troublesome feelings of sadness, disappointment, guilt and shame.

The more this happens, the more these men lose their confidence.

They may start avoiding sex or become so traumatised they stop having sex all together.

This cycle often continues until it is addressed. To break the cycle, they first need to admit there is a problem.
