Sex is said to be something that should be enjoyed and pleasurable, but some men don’t end up enjoying the act as it should be due to anxiety.
For some, this anxiety is short-lived and may appear briefly in the wake of a new sexual encounter, and to others, they end up experiencing sexual anxiety regularly and may find it difficult to enjoy a wholesome sex life.
Performance anxiety is the fear of failure when it comes to sexual performance. It arises if someone has failed before or had erectile dysfunction. The next time they want to have sex they will always fear that they can fail again, says Prof. Joachim Osur a reproductive and sexual health expert and a professor at Amref International University.
