Unable to perform

Postby Braincanbeweird » Sat Mar 07, 2020 10:20 pm

Hi guys,

Since the last time I posted I'm feeling a lot better.
Medication plus cbt did quite his job.

I'm currently dating, after a long period of hocd thoughts.
Here I have some sort of blockage.
I keep thinking that I can not perform in bed. This thought obviously triggers the hocd chain.

In the 'heat' of the moment I find it really hard to apply my techniques to live with OCD thoughts. Which ofcourse makes me anxious and unable to perform in bed. To the point that I avoid sex. Just because I'm afraid i cant perform, and if I can perform I must be gay.

Do any of you might had or have the same problem?

Would love to hear back

Greetings and goodnight

Do any of you have some tips

Performance anxiety is a terrible thing to get in your head. Been there, done that. In my case I'm Bi, but then I would get to worrying about being gay (instead of Bi) and from there it just devolved into a general thing to where when the moment to get it in there come, it don't work. Basically if anyone is watching kind of thing. And it's awfully hard to get out of that. Done it a few times but it's still hard to deal with, and other than to find a technique to not let it get inside your head, then I don't know.
