ten thoughts that worry men about sex

Believe it or not, men worry about performing in the bedroom too. No man would be caught dead admitting that they have any worries or concerns about lovemaking because they fear that somehow it would not be the macho thing to do. But like I said, admit it or not, they do worry about many aspects of sex!

For instance, let's talk about performance anxiety. This is one sex worry that most men have experienced at some point or the other in their lives. Will I be able to satisfy my partner? What if I get so pressured that I can't even get it up? These are just two of the thoughts that they worry about.

In reality, there may not even be a single reason why men need to get their knickers in a knot thinking about sex. But reason or not, if any man is concerned about things related to sex, it will impact his performance in bed – negatively of course!

So, here's a look at the top 10 thoughts that worry men about sex and make them have sleepless nights in more ways than one. And no, we won't just leave you wondering but will also tell you how you can rid yourself of these sex worries.
 I masturbate often. Will I become infertile?
This is just one of the few myths associated with masturbation. No, masturbation cannot make you infertile irrespective of how often you do it. It is a very natural way to understand your body and can be quite a healthy habit.
 Buying condoms is so embarrassing! I just can't do it.
The fact that you know you need to buy condoms means you're thinking about safe sex and that's a step in the right direction. As for not being able to go and buy some, remember that unsafe sex can lead to many diseases including AIDS which can be fatal. That should give you the confidence you need to buy condoms and keep you and your partner protected.
 Will I be able to tell if she is faking it?
If your woman is not really having an orgasm but is faking it, there is very little chance that you'll be able to know. However, instead of being anxious to know whether or not she is faking it, you should be more concerned about making sure she enjoys herself thoroughly. Talk to her about what makes her feel good and what you need to do to help her climax. As long as you're doing what she enjoys, you'll never have to worry about her faking it.
 I'm ready but she does not want sex
If your girl is going to feel pressured or forced into having sex when she's not ready, it won't be satisfying for either of you. So, give her the space and understanding she needs and wait till she's ready. The wait may just be well worth it!
 My girlfriend is more experienced than me. Will I be able to satisfy her?
Whether or not you can satisfy your partner does not depend on how many people you've had sex with. As long as you both are connected physically and emotionally and her pleasure is as important to you as your own, you should be just fine
 She wants to get intimate but I'm not ready.
This is another one of those hard-to-believe things, but men can also feel pressured about having sex when they are not ready to do so. If you're not ready to get intimate for whatever reason, be honest about it. Instead of rejecting you (which is what is worrying you), your partner will respect your honesty and wait till you're ready.
 I'm still a virgin but I can never admit that to anyone!
Most men would never admit to their friends or even their woman that they have never had sex purely out of insecurity and their belief that they'd be considered less of a man if people knew that they were virgins. This is why they brag or lie about their sexual exploits. However, being a virgin is not something to feel ashamed or insecure about. In fact, most women would be flattered to know that they are your first, so you should think twice about lying.

 I've heard that size does not matter. But I'm sure it does!
You heard right. Size does not matter a great deal as long as you know what you're doing. Being well endowed won't make you a great lover if you don't know how to please your partner. The most sensitive nerves are on the outer part of the vagina so you can please your woman even if you're small. And what you lack in size, why not make up for it with your skill.
 Is it ok to make love during her monthly period?
As long as both of you are comfortable having sex during her period, there is no reason why you can't. Yes, it may get a little messy but that's your personal choice. Do make sure you have protected sex so that you do not catch any infections or STDs.
 What if I can't get it up when it's time?
Thinking about failing is a sure-fire way to do just that. Be calm and relaxed and enjoy your lovemaking without worrying about your performance. Also, avoid drinking too much alcohol before sex as it can lead to temporary impotence.
