New partner - sex - couldn't keep it up....

[theendishere]

That's basically it. I met someone, he seemed really keen, then after a few dates fwhen we had sex he couldn't keep it up properly. We had drunk quite a lot, he said might have been that, or a bit of nervousness, but he definatley fancies me...
Any thoughts?

Try it sober.

I had the same with a guy I met, it was the same the first 5 or 6 times, few months in it got slightly better. We talked about it but he didn't know why it happened. He became less & less affectionate over time and when we did have sex it was hop on & hope off for him. Nothing for me! I dumped him.

Fingers crossed with your guy it was just the drink :)

Whatever the reason -drink or nervousness -treat him with the same respect as you would ask for if it were you.
I am a man who came out of a long relationship last year, and assume -hope- I will be in a new relationship some time, and it is something we men worry about.
My last partner, at the beginning, was very understanding -perhaps because she was a nurse or perhaps because she was just understanding -and said beforehand that lots of men have performance anxiety and that everything would be OK.
And it was, on the first time and afterwards. Your first time was not, but you can influence whether future times are or are not!

My bf struggled at the beginning of our relationship but it turned out he had terrible blood pressure problems. Give it time so you get to know each other better and feel really comfortable with your intimacy.

Anxiety to put on a good performance can have a terrible effect, especially if the guy is really keen on you .....

DH had a bit of performance anxiety to start with. As he grew in confidence it went away. My best friend's DP had a similar problem - he got over it as well. If he's showing signs of being lovely, give him a chance.

Could just have been brewer's droop, of course. Try again!
