impotence
As a man, feeling a sense of sexual virility can be a central part of how you define the strength or force of your masculinity. Experiencing the inability to achieve or maintain an erection during sex can be a source of shame or embarrassment. If it persists, and particularly if it is without a medical cause, it can lead to feelings of inadequacy, loss of self-esteem, and deep anxiety about sex. Cultivate awareness of the mind/body dynamic that may be contributing to the issue, learn about your arousal template, as well as improve communication skills with your partner so that you can move from impotency to safe and satisfying sexual experiences.
