Q: psychological cause for erection trouble ?

Hey

Im a 21yr old guy who up until recently has enjoyed a pretty decent sex life. However the last time i had sex with my new gf i couldnt get hard enough to penetrate and lost it within seconds. Obviously she was upset over it and I felt ashamed by it and am worried how it will affect us.

This was the 4th time weve had sex, the first 2 times went smoothly despite been worried about my performence however during the 3rd time her parents woke up during which freaked me out causing me to lose it. This last time i just couldnt even manage anything.

Now im thinking its pshycological but i managed to perform the first time so i dont know why that would be a problem at this point. It may also be due to tiredness as ive recently not been getting much sleep however would it affect things this soon?

Ive been trying to get and maintain an erection since then but i always feel sick with worry about losing it and do indeed lose it. Now im terrified over the next time we try it incase the same thing happens

Any advice on this matter would be appricated

It could have been ANYTHING. Perhaps you were worried about the parents again? Perhaps you were tired/stressed? And now you are probably just so worked up about it that you panic whenever you are trying to get an erection and your anxiety stops you from getting one.

Try and relax. It happens once in a while. Seriously. Sometimes your penis just doesn't do what you want it to. This doesn't mean it will happen regularly. Just relax and don't worry about it and it will all come naturally.

You don't have a problem, you are just too worried about it!
