Sexual Performance Issues
Hi people of Reddit
Long story short I’m a 25M and have had two girlfriends in the past where I ended the relationship (both my age). They were both special people and one thing in particular they did was be supportive regarding ED issues.
Basically I’m on an SSRI and one of the side effects of that medication is occasional ED issues.
I don’t jerk off much at all and I’m continuing during therapy. That’s a long way of saying I’m working on keeping issues in that area to a minimum.
Usually after a few times I become more comfortable with a person and it’s less of a big deal.
My strategy is I mention to the person I have this issue caused by medication and assure them it’s an issue with me and not with them
Up until now that has been a good strategy.
I’m back in the dating arena and was wondering if anyone has any advice for navigating this issue that would be much appreciated.
