#18 | Overcome Sexual Anxiety with Affirmations
Telling yourself "I am confident" doesn't work when your body doesn't believe it.
Most affirmations fail because they speak only to the mind. But sexual anxiety lives in the body, in the nervous system, in the tension you carry into every intimate moment. If your body is stuck in fear, no amount of positive thinking will convince it otherwise.
In this episode of Sex Talk for Men, Linda Connors explores a more grounded approach to affirmations, one that works with the connection between your mind, body, emotions, and sexual response.
Many men experiencing sexual anxiety become trapped in cycles of fear, pressure, self-monitoring, and negative thinking. Over time, this can affect erections, ejaculation, confidence, and emotional connection during intimacy.
In this episode, Linda explores:
The pressure many men experience around sex and performance
The impact sexual anxiety can have on confidence and relationships
Why overthinking and fear disconnect you from your body
How affirmations can support greater calmness and self-awareness
A guided affirmation meditation for sexual anxiety
