How do I overcome performance anxiety in bed?
Seek cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) to reframe negative thoughts and reduce anxiety around sex. Consider erectile dysfunction medication if anxiety leads to erection difficulties, as it boosts confidence by improving blood flow. Talk openly with a therapist or your partner to build relaxation techniques and break the anxiety cycle.
Key points:
- Psychological causes like performance anxiety drive erection issues.
- Cognitive behavioural therapy reframes thoughts for a relaxed mindset.
- Erectile dysfunction medication aids erections and reduces self-consciousness.
- Therapy or partner communication teaches coping strategies.
