Overcoming male sexual performance anxiety.

Sex is supposed to be enjoyable but it isn’t easy to have fun if you are constantly worrying about how well you are performing – or if you will be able to perform at all!

Performance anxiety and erectile dysfunction (ED) are closely related and revolve around the concern that you may not be able to satisfy your partner sexually. Intimacy becomes more of a duty because it seems you are only doing it for someone else, and not for yourself. Over time, this worry and anxiety can lower your interest in sex, and may cause sexual dysfunction which could lead to ED problems.

 Performance anxiety in men mostly results from negative thoughts that you may have about yourself, which lowers your confidence and self-esteem. This often leads to self-sabotaging thoughts such as you are not very fit, or your body is not all that attractive, or that you do not have a great deal of experience when it comes to love-making and might do something wrong.

Unfortunately, male performance anxiety is one of the problems that many men face in silence, mostly because they are reluctant to discuss the issue, and also because they don’t have any idea how to handle the problem.

 

Some causes of sexual performance anxiety.

Sex is more than just a physical response, your emotions are almost always involved. When the mind is stressed and you cannot focus, the body will struggle to get excited about the sexual encounter.

Here are some different concerns which may lead to the anxiety problem.

·      A chronic fear that you won’t perform well in bed and satisfy your partner sexually.

·      Low self-esteem and a poor body image, including overweight or obesity hassles.

·      You may have a concern about your penis size and feel that it could be inadequate. 

·      Some are worried that about ejaculating too early, or taking too long to climax.

Any of these causes can result in performance anxiety, and the stress can take you completely out of the right mindset for sex. Fortunately these problems are not insurmountable, and in-depth research has noted that there is a clear link between a man’s state-of-mind and his ability to perform sexually.

 

Dealing with performance fears with the aid of hypnosis.

Studies have suggested that the best way to deal with negativity and fears lurking in your subconscious mind is to create a new, positive mindset which will enable your subconscious mind to relax and lessen the impact of anxiety.

There have been many positive reports from men who have been helped to overcome sexual performance anxiety by means of hypnosis. In this way, your subconscious mind is trained to become relaxed, and the therapist, by accessing the subconscious mind and using proven techniques can help to eliminate the irrational fears as well as self-sabotaging thoughts which plague you.

Hypnosis for performance anxiety is a pathway to restoring self-esteem and building your self-confidence in healthy ways by teaching you to visualize positive outcomes to your sexual encounters.
