Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
My wife and I had some argument about my past. I had lied to her about the number of sex partners I had. That hurts her because she explained that her perception of me was built on the fact that she knew that I only had a few sex partners. We have been discussing this for months, but now after having these discussions and arguments, I realize that when we are to have sex, I get anxious. I will get an erection, but when its time to enter, it falls. I want to know, how to get my mind to a place of not over thinking so that I am not distracted. Kindly help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I am happy that you did understand that the problem behind your erection is, the problem is related to stress and anxiety which is stemmed out of the differences between you and your partner. That itself is the first step of the problem solver. Now the remedial measures are, Do not attempt to have sex when you have the thought and related stress in your mind, start relaxation breathing for 10 minutes at least once per day, start physical exercise for one hour daily and write down the cause and effect of the problem you are now facing with all the details. Then clear it logically alongside what you wrote. You may have to write this for two weeks to get the desired result. Take care.
