Detailed Answer:
Hello
Welcome to HCM.
I understand your concerns.

Performance anxiety is mainly because of one's high expectations from oneself.

Following tips might prove helpfulfor you:

1. Don’t be too conscious about your body.
The inability to achieve perfect body as portrayed in media may lead to low self-esteem, thus affecting sex life.

2. Don’t expect your sex life to match up to porn. This would highly unrealistic.

3. Don’t be obsessed about your penis size. Size does not matter. A supportive partner is what matters most.

4. Forget negative experiences in the past. If you have had some bad sexual experiences in past, do not let those to over-ride you.

5. Remember you’ll get better at it with time. If you are having it for first time, you might not succeed.

6. Don’t think of failure. A normal person can fail 1 out of 5 times while performing intercourse.

7. Don’t get too stressed. Stay relaxed.

Hope this helps.

Feel free to ask further.
Thanks.
