Why Can't My Boyfriend Stay Hard? - #59451
I am dealing with some serious sexual performance issues lately, and honestly, it’s kinda freaking me out. I mean, my boyfriend and I have been together for a while now, and suddenly he’s having trouble staying hard. Like, one minute everything’s great, and the next it’s like he’s lost interest or something. I know that’s not the case, but it’s super confusing! I was reading about sexual performance issues and how anxiety can play a big role, and I guess that could be it. He’s been stressed at work and all, but how do I even bring it up without making it more awkward? I just want to know how to beat sexual performance anxiety for him, or maybe even figure out how to increase erection time. It’s tough because I feel like I have tried everything—different positions, setting the mood, all that jazz—but nothing seems to help. Sometimes, I wonder what really causes a man to erect fast, and how we can get back to that excitement we used to have. I guess I’m just worried that this could be something more serious. Any insights or advice would be super helpful, because I really want to get things back on track for us.
