Hello,

I've been in a wonderful relationship for a year and a half now. We're both very intimate and are completely comfortable with each other physically and emotionally. A few months ago, we decided to finally try to have sexual intercourse, and both of us were completely inexperienced in that area. I have no problem getting aroused whenever we try any sort of sexual act other than intercourse, but as soon as intercourse is the goal, I can't stay aroused.
I don't know if it's related to my anxiety, which I've had for almost my entire life, or something else. We've tried again and again, and every time I fail it's so depressing and I hate not being able to do everything I can to make my partner feel good. I feel like a poor excuse for a partner when I can't even have sex correctly, plus all of the other things my anxiety doesn't let me do.

I didn't really have any specific question when I posted this, I just wanted to get it all out and see if anyone else could relate. Thank you if you take the time to read this.
