Performance Anxiety when she is ovulating

GSC2019 · Feb 04, 2021 at 04:03 PM

Everytime she wants to make a baby on her ovulation period. I get intense anxiety; to the point of ED.

Anyone else have difficulty with this?

Any tips to overcome it?

-- I just don't want to get stressed and let her down.

-- Cheers!!

Back when my ex-wife & I were trying to have kids, it seemed like sex became a chore rather than a pleasure. Pressure to perform must be very common. Everything worked out eventually in our case, & I'm sure the same will happen for you & your wife. Feeling that you'll "let her down" might be the bulk of the problem. I hope you can jettison that feeling & just relax. I know...easier said than done. Good luck, dude.

Thanks for the words. I hope it works out. She doesn't understand my anxiety about it and I honestly can't explain it so. Just talking about her ovulation period and how much I have to do it causes me stress. Then when I explain she gets upset with me so it's a circle. It's so small but yet it feels so catastrophic.

The fact that she wants to do it in her ovulation period maybe it’s not only to increase the possibilities of a pregnancy but also because naturally her libido is higher.
But, of course, I understand that you feel pressed and the more stress you feel, the worse in this case.

She should understand that. Did you, guys, contemplate the possibility to see a sexologist?

It seems as a one of the most natural thing and the easiest activity to do but sex can be affected by many circumstances because it sparks in the mind and all of us know how complicated mind may be.

Not very many of those around here but I feel like the problem is with me because I have anxiety issues on my own and I've been struggling with them for awhile now. But I'm gonna try everytime and I try to keep my head out of it
