Fears about erections can sometimes lead to problems. Instead of letting go and feeling excited, a man may watch himself during sex to see how well he does. His fear of failure can make him fail.
Erection problems caused by anxiety and stress are more common in young healthy men. Sex therapists can often help them. But all men with erection problems should be carefully checked by their doctors.
Men who no longer have their testicles or who are on hormone therapy drugs often feel like “less of a man.” They fear they may start to look and act like a woman. Keep in mind that manhood does not depend on hormones but on a lifetime of being male. Hormone treatment for prostate cancer may lower a man’s desire for sex, but it does not change who he desires.
