In our last article, we talked about what sexual performance anxiety is. To briefly recap, it is where someone experiences worry, stress, nervousness or anxiety triggered by the thought or action of having sex. The difference between it verse something that is a passing feeling rather than a problem, is that these feelings are strong enough to manifest symptoms to the person experiencing them. They can result in a reduced sex drive, increased heart rate and difficulty in having sex through a number of other symptoms. In this article, we are going to look more closely at what causes sexual performance anxiety and how to overcome it.

What causes sexual performance anxiety

Sexual performance anxiety generally stems from psychological issues. These can be varied in form and manifest in a variety of ways. These can also trigger in both men and women, and there is no data that I have found that suggests that one gender over the other suffers more acutely or more commonly from sexual performance anxiety. As such both genders need to be aware of it. Causes of sexual performance anxiety include the following:

Issues with ones body image, how one looks or other appearance perception issues
Temporary or acute stress
A single strong negative sexual experience (or several) can cause sexual performance anxiety
The fear of being rejected is a very common cause. Many woman purport this as a cause, and it is a widespread issue even among people who do not suffer from sexual performance anxiety. Being scared of being pushed away can even manifest with a fuck buddy. Even where you have made an agreement that it is without strings attached, there can still be a fear of being rejected by the fuck buddy for a future encounter.
Generally low sense of self-esteem and confidence can be the cause
The fear of not being able to deliver, perform or otherwise engage in sex can be the root cause of sexual performance anxiety

How to overcome sexual performance anxiety

If you are suffering, consider the following.

Talk to your fuck buddy about it. Explaining what you are feeling and going through can often be a huge step. Once they understand the pressure it off. You can then act with less stress and an understanding person, which can help you make the journey to defeating it.
Therapy. Having counselling, ABS or other therapy can be very helpful.
Medication. We cannot on this website suggest specific drugs, but they are available and talking to your doctor about it could lead to you getting the help that you need.

So, if you have this issue, take some steps. Your future self will be grateful to you for solving the issue.

Welcome to the fuck buddy website, the place where we help you find a like minded adults for some no strings attached fun. Or job is to help you find a friends with benefits, a casual hook up or someone to have some evening fun with, minus the attachments and complications that come with a traditional relationship. For many of our members, they are ready and raring to go, but for some of our members, it may have been a while since they last had sex. For these individuals they may find that they are suffering from performance anxiety. Performance anxiety, what is that I hear you ask. Well, allow me to explain.

What is sexual performance anxiety?

Sexual performance anxiety is where you feel nervous, worried, stressed or otherwise anxious about having sex. Many of us experience these feels at some point in our lives, perhaps it is not to do with our time in the bedroom, but we have felt these feels about something. For some people, the thought of sex or the act of going to have sex is what triggers these feelings. If you are finding that you are being triggered by sex, the you may have performance anxiety.

What are the symptoms of sexual performance anxiety?

Many people get nervous, but for most nervous is just excitement without the breath. For people with sexual performance anxiety however they experience more. Symptoms include:

Difficulty getting hard or being turned on
A reduction in the desire to have sex
Tension forming and staying the body and the muscles
Heart rate increasing beyond what is normal from being excited
In some cases, it can lead to panic attacks
Hesitation or an unwillingness to have sex (where they would otherwise do so)
In very extreme cases, it can stop a man from being able to gain an erection

What are the causes of sexual performance anxiety?

Sexual performance anxiety can be caused by all sorts of things, but ironically it can also be caused by the very things that the symptoms of sexual performance anxiety result in. Foe example, for a man they may be worried or anxious about being able to gain and maintain an erection for a period of time. This can in turn cause sexual performance anxiety which then inhibits that man getting an erection. It can be quite a conundrum!

So that is what sexual performance anxiety is. In a future article I will deal with how to overcome sexual performance anxiety.
