Have I got Performance Anxiety

Sex Problems for Men

Some years ago I noticed I was not quite hard when my wife and I were having sex. Ever since then it has been on my mind. I have had blood tests for hormone levels which were ok. I am not the mst confident of people, (even less these days).
My docotor suggested self stimulation, but this makes me feel guilty or strange.
Is trying to get turned on by looking at nude photos of other women normal? when really I should be looking at my wife, (who is very nice) or do I feel less pressuure and have no-one to let down but myself?
I am 38, don't smoke, (not a lot), keep fit and in good shape (still very toned), we eat well. It is starting to do my head in looking for answers. Any advice would be good!

Performance Anxiety

Yes you have performance anxiety! There is nothing wrong with you, you just worry too much about your penis, which seems fine. Getting turned on by nude photos is quite normal, provided you and your wife are both happy with that, but a more sound solution might be for the 2 of you to do some sex therapy together, either with the help of an experienced therapist, or on your own.
