Im only 20 years old and I cannot seem to get a hardon when I know im going to have sex...When me and my girlfriend are hanging out and we just spontaneously have sex im fine...But on special occassions like valentines day or an anniversary I cant seem to get over the fact that it might not work and I end up making it not work because I think about it too much....

I have told myself to rela and it will work but it still is in the back of my head that its going to happen again!! Have any of you had this problem and if so how did you fix it? Im starting to become very frustrated! Please help! Thanks

Special occasions usually mean alcohol, try complete abstinence from alcohol some men are very sensitive to drink , make sure you have a healthy diet plenty of vit e in your food also a modest zinc supplement might be helpful. Don't worry talk to your girlfriend about your problem.

Just another thought try telling your lady that you are not going to have intercourse, instead you wish to give her a wonderful oil body massage get the setting just right warmth, perfumed oil, flowers, candles, ( not to close to the bed) sweet music , she will feel so relaxed she won't miss the sex but you will have shown your love in a selfless way. With luv.

Sorry for the late reply. Just going through these.

Look at it this way. I've had serious performance anxiety, to the point where the girl and I just don't have sex. You guys do have sex, but on big occasions you get worried about it? It could be a LOT worse.

The girl seems to dig you. You aren't a porn star. Do what you can and have fun. I agree with Mrs. Happy. Get a book on sensual massage, (look for "Art of Sensual Massage") and one on oral sex (suggest "She Comes First"). Practice. Not only will you be giving her a lot of physical pleasure, she'll appreciate your efforts. At the root, that's what a relationship is. Hanging out and doing stuff for each other. Plus, if you feel like she's having a good experience, regardless of if you're having actual sex each time, you'll reduce your worry. Then you'll be able to have sex, but hey, it'll be optional.
