Oh, shit... I'm fuckin' up.
I put together this guide for making scary decisions to help me and you.
Sexual anxiety is a pernicious little bitch. Usually, people don’t realize it’s a thing that exists. If you don’t know it’s there, you can’t fix it. Luckily, once you’ve learned how to spot sexual anxiety, there’s plenty of ways to fix it.
For most of my partnered sex, I’ve been plagued by a problem: a sudden rush of panic when other people initiate. For a long time, I hadn’t known what it was. Over time, though, it’s become clear that I’m suffering from pre-sex anxiety.
From my years of helping people have better sex, I know that many others suffer from the same problem. So, I wanted to offer up a few of the symptoms I’ve noticed to help you figure out if you’re dealing with the same problem.
For me, it’s evergreen advice to add more foreplay to lackluster sex. Unfortunately, like a lot of sexperts, I don’t always take my own advice. So when I was having problems staying in the moment with my new boy toy, foreplay didn’t immediately come to mind – but it definitely should have.
