Sexual Performance anxiety

[Elvoo]

Hello, Please I'd love enquire on how long it would take for someone who had experienced ED following performance anxiety get back to normal.

Cause actually, am beginning to fight the anxiety though gradually improving but sometimes still fails during intercourse and that on the other hand try getting me a little worried.. wouldn't want the viscous cycle to continue again.

Does it really take a very long time. Thanks

All anxiety problems are dependent on the individual.  Some can calm down more easily than others.  I will tell you it's a whole lot easier problem to get over than ED from meds or surgery.  I had it once for psychological reasons and it just went away when I stopped being involved with the woman I had the problem with when I was a young man -- there was obviously something about her that made it stick around though I don't think she caused it, so it wasn't a long term problem.  So if you can just forget about it or talk yourself out of it or, say, meditate before having sex until the problem disappears, the brain will just forget about it and you'll be back to normal.  But again, it depends on the person how easily an anxiety problem lasts so you can't generalize.

Thanks, already working on it though hope it get resolved soon. If I may ask, hope covid 19 vaccine doesn't cause ED. All this happened basically same month I took my second dose of vaccine,then the new girl came and then sudden ED, though get hard occasionally. I took tadalafil sometime last week, a single dose. I have been having strong erection there after until today again after the first intercourse, couldn't make out or get strong erections again and then the worry again. Though less compared to when it initially happened 3months ago.

Well guess I should totally relax my mind and all it resolved. Thanks

No vaccination causes ED. It's likely the problem is rooted in your reaction to the new girl (negative or positive); that something in this relationship is making you anxious, and it's coming out in the bedroom.  If the problem is that you are worried about living up to her in some way, just try to focus on not yourself but her getting "hers" when you're in bed. There are lots of ways to do that without an erection. It might ease your anxiety if you find you can give her an orgasm other ways, and if so your erections might come back.

Also, having intercourse twice in a short period of time can be a problem at any time.  Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't, and as you age, it won't more than it will but don't worry, you probably won't have that intense of a desire to do it twice.  When men are young and we meet someone we're especially attracted to, desire can be larger than the body's recovery time.  If you're tired, for example, won't be as easy as when you're not.  Not the vaccine.  It sounds to me like you're putting a lot of pressure on yourself to perform instead of just enjoying the moment and the feelings.  You'll be fine.
