Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

This can happen quite commonly during the beginning of sexual encounters, where you find yourself in a situation where you cannot perform well. Hence, you develop a fear that what if you will not be able to perform, subsequently, then what will happen. This worry is called performance anxiety. Also, medications can cause a reduced libido. Hence, you have to overcome this anxiety, give your body time to regain itself from the previous illness. You should talk actively with your spouse, discuss with her your problems, likes, fantasies. Maintain a healthy diet and regular workout. This will help you to perform well.
