Behind Closed Doors: Exploring Men’s 5 Top Sexual Fears

Exploring Men's 5 Top Sexual Fears
Admit it. You’re afraid. Deep down inside, you have concerns about sex. All men do. Unacknowledged sex stress can affect your intimacy and performance. It can wear down your mentality and stifle your “game” (your attractiveness to the opposite sex). Lucky for you, you aren’t alone. Relax and read while we reveal how normal your sexual fears are. Do your worries fall into this top five list of what men fear about doing the deed?

1. ED

Worrying about not pleasing your partner during sex is normal. A part of that fear is the inability to get hard when you want. Sometimes, doctors refer to an inability to get hard as erectile dysfunction, or ED. Other times, they call it “impotence.” Nearly every man will experience an inability to get hard when he wants to at some point in his life. ED’s prevalence (and your fear of it) is likely to increase the older you get. Scientists estimate that nearly 40% of men have experienced ED by age 40 and that the odds increase by 10% every decade after that (50% by 50, 60% by 60, and so on)1. Fear of not being able to get an erection can both come from anxiety and increase your anxiety. It can become a vicious cycle—you get anxious about getting hard, and your anxiety prevents an erection. Too much worry about not being able to perform can worsen the problem. Seek the help of a mental health therapist for psychogenic impotence (ED caused by anxiety, stress, and worries). ED can stem from cardiovascular issues, too. Check with your primary care physician to uncover biological reasons for impotence issues. You can start correcting many impotence problems with diet, exercise, and medication. Communicate with your partner. Let them know you desire their understanding and support. There’s no quick fix for erectile issues. Have patience with yourself and your medical providers’ strategies.

2. Rapid Climax

Premature ejaculation (PE) occurs more frequently than ED. 21%-30% of men between 18 and 80 years old admittedly have lost control of their climax and release2. PE occurs when climax happens sooner than you or a partner desires. As with ED, it can lead to anxiety over it and become the primary driver of it. It can occur as a result of having erectile dysfunction, too. Check with your primary care provider or urologist if you feel you’ve lost control over your climax and release too soon and too often. They can start you with behavioral, psychological, or medical interventions to help.

3. Physical Insecurities

If you worry about how your body or sex organs appear to your partner, you aren’t alone. Chances are good your partner is self-conscious about how they look underneath their clothes, too. You may worry that your partner thinks you have too much body hair or aren’t buff enough. You may fear—gulp—your penis isn’t big enough. Rest assured that your partner gets as caught up in the moment as you do during the deed. Talk with them if you feel they’re “sizing you up” and you aren’t getting a passing grade. Choose a partner who makes you feel comfortable in your skin and relationship. Lack of self-confidence can lead to poor sexual performance and satisfaction. Consider the help of a sex therapist. Consult a male enhancement provider if you’d like to add girth to your penis for heightened pleasure. Penile dermal fillers are routine, safe, and effective for growing larger down there. They are non-permanent fillers like the kind people use to temporarily plump their lips or cheeks. You can experiment with different sizes. A male enhancement provider can dissolve any growth gains you don’t like or add more until you’re satisfied. Always choose a partner who likes your penis, but see a male enhancement provider if you aren’t satisfied with yours.

4. Satisfaction

You may fear that your member’s performance won’t satisfy your partner. Take comfort in knowing this is a common concern among men. Talking with your partner can help. They can reassure you that sex with you is great. Once again, choose and stay with a partner who genuinely cares about you. Seek a male enhancement provider if you’d like to grow larger to experience heightened sensations between the sheets. How can men’s girth enhancement improve your and your partner’s satisfaction? Your increased girth hits more sensory nerve endings on your partner. You experience more sensations with your wider girth, too. You’ll get double the enjoyment from your partner’s pleasure and your own.

5. Consequences

Sex comes with consequences. Wear a condom to prevent sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and unplanned pregnancies. However, barrier methods can fail, so knowing who you’re sleeping with is best. Yes, one-night stands can add an element of wild recklessness to the act. However, does the act really need that to be fun? And is the guilt and worry worth it the next day or week? When you know your partner, you can develop a more open and honest relationship. You can share medically necessary information. Plus, you two have time to get tested for STIs before engaging in behaviors that spread them.

Boiling It Down

You can alleviate a lot of your fears with two things:
  1. Communication—Talk with a primary care provider about your concerns. Meet with a mental help therapist for psychiatric solutions since mental anxiety can cause or worsen some problems. Engage in open dialogue with your partner.
  2. Cosmetic Assistance—You don’t have to resign yourself to subpar sex or small junk. You have access to an excellent solution if you don’t like the size, shape, or bend of your penis.
Non-surgical penis enlargement has been around for decades with outstanding results. Research “hyaluronic acid dermal fillers for penis enlargement” to learn more and find a reputable provider near you.
