Q: The past few times my partner and I have tried to have sex he’s been unable to get an erection. When we talk about it he blames it on nerves but now he’s starting to avoid sex altogether, what should I do?
A: It’s most likely performance anxiety. This is a very common sexual problem. It occurs when the apprehension of engaging in sex overcomes any feeling of sexual stimulation. Apprehensive thoughts can take over any other thoughts to the point that sex can become impossible.
