• Having a bad image of your body and / or your weight.
• Worry or feel that penis size is not adequate.
• Fear of premature ejaculation (premature ejaculation)  or inability to sustain an erection until the woman reaches orgasm.
• Fear of not being able to reach orgasm or enjoy the sexual experience.

All these concerns prevent sex is pleasurable. They can activate certain stress hormones that cause your body to react as if facing a threat, when in fact you’re not.

In men, for example, one of the effects of stress hormones is to narrow the blood vessels. Thus, less blood to the penis and makes erection harder to achieve or sustain. For women, however, may not allow stress lubricated enough to have sex or lose the desire to have sex.
