Could be.: This is a very common experience among men who have erection trouble. The act of putting on the condom represents a commitment to the sexual act that can stir worries about ones ability to follow through. Also, many associate condoms with anxiety inducing concepts like illness and pregnancy. Don't stop using condoms and consider seeing someone about this--there are strategies that can help.
