The idea <strong>isn&#8217;t<\/strong> to be completely calm, and erase all your anxiety, as that&#8217;s nearly impossible (unless you&#8217;re on medication), but to work on reducing your anxiety as much as possible, and increasing your mental arousal (&#8220;horniness&#8221;)\u00a0as much as possible, so one energy (arousal) overpowers the other (anxiety).<\/p>\n<p>This lowers the wall between your mind and genitals, allowing the flow of arousal that sets off in the mind to reach it&#8217;s destination (the penis)&#8230; and brings it to life.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I know there&#8217;s a lot of advice on overcoming sexual performance anxiety on the internet that doesn&#8217;t work, because guys always end up on my site asking for help with this&#8230; and I, having been through the problem myself,\u00a0knows what it takes to get hard even when nervous:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>1)<\/strong> admit you&#8217;re anxious&#8230; it&#8217;s fine to be anxious, you&#8217;re human. \u00a0This in of itself reduces the anxiety and lets you work through it<\/p>\n<p><strong>2)<\/strong> concentrate\u00a0on getting as horny as possible, and don&#8217;t think about your erection&#8230;. it knows what to do, and will come along on it&#8217;s own<\/p>\n<p><strong>3)<\/strong> take it slowwwww&#8230;. rushing increases anxiety, taking it slow allows arousal to build<\/p>\n<p><strong>4)<\/strong> do some cardio on a regular basis to improve circulation throughout the body<\/p>\n<p>Getting into this mind state should help you overcome psychological ED.
