The first two, didn't work at all. The third worked, but only because we were "under the influence." And the last time we tried it didnt work. Obviously, he does not have any trouble getting hard, because he is always fine before we decide to try, but whenever it comes down to it he can't get it up. Neither of us understand the problem especially since it has worked before, but we don't want to have to be messed up everytime we have sex. help!

Replies Al Legator Posted at 10:03 am on Nov. 25, 2008 It's not uncommon at all. nervousness about the surroundings (getting discovered, making noise...) can do it. So can concern about STDs or pregnancy. So can concern about "pleasing you"....which, when he doesn't just makes it worse in his mind the next time you try...failure is almost guaranteed then. So can concern about what this "next step" really means in the relationship...he could be worried what you are expecting next...it could be a lot of things. My recommendation: Do not say"OK, this Saturday night we are having sex." have the appropriate protections or birth control available, but don't plan it way beforehand. Tell him you don't want to have intercourse, just be naked with him.Tell him you don't expect * and don't want* him to be a porn star , just be with you. Guys want to 'perform" like a porn star and "performance anxiety" is common. Talk over some of the issues I mention above. Don't use "the problem" or "your problem", don't even refer to them as issues. Guys like to be able to fix things and presenting the issues as "issues or problems"  will put up yet another wall he feels he must jump over. Just talk about stuff. lthomas Posted at 10:02 am on Nov. 25, 2008 that's really weird lol i'll keep that in mind audibleSIN Posted at 10:01 am on Nov. 25, 2008 I'm serious about the Chinese Food. Try it. Apparently a lot of stories I've read involved the guy eating Rice. Weird. lthomas Posted at 9:59 am on Nov. 25, 2008 chinese food sounds good lol one thing i don't think people are realizing is that he actually is hard up until the very moment we decide to have sex. so i know im not a turn off lol audibleSIN Posted at 9:57 am on Nov. 25, 2008 Get some Chinese Food. babygurl 2008 Posted at 9:56 am on Nov. 25, 2008 Damn, You must be a turn off for him. spartan09 Posted at 9:55 am on Nov. 25, 2008 He's probably nervous. :P Just take things easy for him or something. Live Just To Die Posted at 9:54 am on Nov. 25, 2008 Stop being so nervous and he will get it up fine lthomas Posted at 9:54 am on Nov. 25, 2008 thanks everyone lol dabomb09 Posted at 9:53 am on Nov. 25, 2008 I had that problem before with a guy.  He said it was because he was scared and nervous.  Just because you'll have been together for a while doesnt mean anything.  He might be nervous about how he will perform. beautyskooldropout Posted at 9:52 am on Nov. 25, 2008 thats so weird, i wonder why that happens. 007bondgirl08 Posted at 9:51 am on Nov. 25, 2008 i dunno??? easy Posted at 9:51 am on Nov. 25, 2008 Let it be natural, don't plan anything ironicdreams Posted at 9:51 am on Nov. 25, 2008 LAWL. Usually "under the influence" makes it harder to "get up." Maybe he doesn't think you're attractive unless he's blitz? All 14 previous replies displayed.
