Question: Hello I am a 25 year old male and have been having issues achieving and maintaining an erection while trying to have sex, I am able to get one without a issue while along but it seems the anxiety of trying to perform gets the better of me and its becoming a very big issue for me and im not sure what to do about it.
Brief Answer:
Focus on pleasure /not on penis
Detailed Answer:
Hello
thanks for the Query
Yes, most probably you have ED from psychogenic cause ie Performance Anxiety.
Please clarify whether you are married. Are able to do masturbation properly?
If yes, please try to be intimate without attempting insertion initially , then try to focus on the pleasure/ not the penis . Continuous pleasure sensations will help you maintain the erection.
Try some relaxation exercise as well or try SSRI like Paroxetine CR12.5 mg per day
