Hi there. M27 here with a problem that's giving me some serious anxiety, to be honest.
I've never had a girlfriend before and never had any sexual experience other than masturbation. This year, though, I got really lucky and met an amazing girl. I love and adore her, and I honestly think she's gorgeous.
We're sexually active and do a lot of intimate things that we both enjoy. I get seriously hard, and I often preejaculate just from kissing or foreplay. But when it's actually time to have sex, everything seems to change.
As soon as we start penetration, my erection usually starts fading. I can rarely stay hard for more than a minute or two. After that, it's pretty much gone, and I have to get myself hard again with my own hand.
The first time it happened was actually my first time ever having sex. I was rock hard, she got on top, everything felt good. It definitely felt different than I expected, but in a good way. Then after a minute or two, I noticed myself getting softer. I panicked and tried to play it off by pretending I was pulling out because I didn't want to finish too quickly. Of course she noticed what was actually happening.
Ever since then, it's happened more and more. Now, every time we get intimate, I have this constant thought in the back of my head that I won't be able to stay hard or give her the pleasure that both of us want. It feels like the more I worry about it, the more likely it is to happen.
The last time it happened, we talked about it. I told her about the pressure I feel in my head whenever we have sex. She's been incredibly supportive, but I can tell she's worried that it might be because of her, or that I don't find her attractive. That's absolutely not the case. She's beautiful, she's lovely, she's hot. I get hard and even preejaculate just from her touching me through my jeans or kissing me.
One thing that really confused me happened when she was masturbating me. I was hard at first, but while she was doing it, I went soft. That just made no sense to me. I have no problem getting and staying hard when I masturbate by myself, so why does it happen with her?
Is this common? Could there be something physically wrong with me, or does this sound more like a mental thing? Is there anything I can do?
FYI: Morningwood, Masturbation (although i try not to do it anymore), getting him hard on my own works.
