Brief Answer:
No it is not a problem

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.

I read your query and understand your concerns.

What you described in your query is not a problem at all as almost 25% of people get difficulty while having sex on first occasion.This happens because you are inexperienced and have no knowledge of sex as well as performance. At the same time there is fear of performance.

At the same time we need to understand that occasional failure is rule of life and sex is no exception.

I hope this answers you.
Thanks and regards.

Hello

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for reverting back to me.

The only thing which you need to do is, not to carry forward the current failure on next interaction. We often question our ability to perform after single failure leading to further failure and establishment of wrong fact about our ability.

Seond have confidence in yourself and discard the performance anxiety.

Thanks and regards.
