The Big Letdown

Peter, 33

"I was really nervous the first time I had sex. I wanted to measure up to my girlfriend's expectations and hoped it would be great for both of us. Everything seemed fine, but I was stressed throughout the whole thing. She could tell and kept asking me what was wrong, which made it even worse. Almost as soon as we started, I went totally soft. I think all the nerves really got to me and I couldn't focus. She was great about it and helped me out manually to get me firm again. But as soon as we got into position, I lost my erection. It went on like that for a few minutes, before she finally gave up and got dressed. Later on I was able to explain what was going on in my head, but it definitely put a damper on our first time."
