Performance Anxiety
and Erectile Dysfunction

Can performance anxiety cause erectile dysfunction?

Anxiety Question:

Can performance anxiety cause erectile dysfunction?

Anxiety Answer:

Yes, it has been observed that performance anxiety beyond par for sexual satisfaction or good sexual performance can also cause erectile dysfunction.

If that’s your problem, then I advise you to be a bit more relaxed and have a lenient approach towards sex; don’t think about it too much.

If sex is only seen as the accomplishment of penetrative intercourse, and a failure if that doesn't happen, then it can be pretty certain that anxiety related erectile dysfunction will keep on happening.

So stop planning out your sexual performance.
Nothing can give you better satisfaction.
