Performance Anxiety leading to PMO

Hey all,

Just wondering who else out there might choose PMO over actual sex due to the fear of lacklustre performance? In my case, PMO use predated any serious intimate/physical contact with a girl, thus I feel I never stood a fair chance. Porn has always set the standard and served as sexual education... terribly unhealthy. Moreover, PMO has lead to decreased sensitivity in some ways, and at times penetration has even felt uncomfortable, if not downright painful. This was due to increased swelling given the sheer amount of M, coupled with poor hygiene. Too much info? Sorry haha.

Anyways, to date I've had ample opportunity to have good sex, and have ultimately failed due to what seems like a severe mental block associated with performance anxiety. Can anyone relate? Also, if anyone has overcome this issue your story would be great to read : )

An intimate relationship is something I truly want in life, if not need!
