Understanding Performance Anxiety
Performance anxiety is often perceived as a psychological issue, stemming from nervousness about sexual performance. However, it is linked to neurological processes, where stress and anxiety cause a shift in baseline arousal levels in the brain. This shift leads to hyper arousal, moving arousal levels from a manageable state to an overwhelming one, which can result in erectile dysfunction. The condition can manifest in two main ways: an inability to achieve an erection or delayed ejaculation, both of which are exacerbated by underlying stress factors.
