Performance anxiety
-
I haven't had sex in almost 7 months. The last time I tried, I couldn't get it up due to a bit of performance anxiety. It'd happened the last few times and I've stopped having sex altogether because it's really embarrassing. Does anyone have any tips on how to relax so that this doesn't happen again?

Performance anxiety can be a vicious cycle and is probably not something that will go away on its own. Identifying why you're anxious would be the first step. If you have the ability, talk to a counselor to get an objective assessment and to work through issues that might be causing your anxiety. ED meds can help in the short term but with anxiety issues it's possible that they can add to the problem by you feeling dependent on them.
