A member asked:
I have difficulty relaxing during sex. is this normal? why does this happen?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Abnormal but common: Many people have trouble relaxing during sex, although i wouldn't call it "normal" exactly. Causes are many, and include distraction or preoccupation by other issues, discomfort with partner, guilt, feeling physically or emotionally unsafe, self-consciousness, physical illness or pain, etc. Is this recent, vs lifelong? Talk to your partner, and/or seek counseling or therapy.
