Too many men assume they are in serious trouble when they loose their erections during sex play or intercourse or when they ejaculate too rapidly. This is a very common problem and nothing to be alarmed or ashamed about. Sex Therapy Los Angeles
The first reaction is to assume medicine is the answer because we are trained to look for quick fixes in our culture. If this is a problem for you, and assuming there is no medical condition causing the problem, consider that your problems are most likely anxiety driven.
That’s right, anxiety! When you are not present during sex you’re body will let you know. Worrying that you won’t be able to keep your erection, thinking about other things, not connecting with your partner, and/or being absent from the sensations in your body can all lead to erectile dysfunction.

If you struggle with sexual dysfunction or have aversive reactions to sex and have wondered if there are people out there who can help, you may want to consider working with a sexual surrogate. Sex Therapy Los Angeles
According to Tara Livingston, sexual surrogate and sex educator, “By definition a sexual surrogate, or surrogate partner, is a professional who helps clients overcome sexual dysfunction. Most surrogates are women, a few are men and there are also married couples that practice surrogacy together. The general term of sexual surrogacy can involve varying levels of practice. Some surrogates work at counseling centers while others have their own office. Some surrogates offer additional services besides surrogacy such as telephone counseling or sexological bodywork.”
