Help me with erections

Sex Problems for Men

Me, like many others on this website, have a hard time holding an erection. I stay hard through all the foreplay and what not, but right when its almost time to have sex, I get real nervous and can not hold an erection. I read some advice on this site saying to just relax and really not think about it. Any tips on "not thinking" about it. This has happened before, and my girlfriend is completely supportive of me, but i still feel like im disapointing her. Any advice to help me "ease my mind" would help out a lot. Thanks

Erections

I don't think anywhere on this site you are told to relax and don't think about it. There are suggestions for other activities to help you with the performance pressure and fear of failure which are usually behind this sort of problem. Just relaxing and ignoring the problem won't do the trick!
