Couples do experience this sometimes when they were told by the professionals to meet at a particular time, especially during the ovulation. That is when there won’t be er****on at all or there is quick ej*******on."
When a couple is trying to conceive, doctors often recommend having s*x during the woman’s ovulation window—the most fertile days of her cycle.
Psychological pressure: Being told to have s*x “on schedule” can turn a natural act into a task or chore. This often leads to performance anxiety.
The man may feel pressure to perform, which can lead to:
Erectile dysfunction (ED) (difficulty getting or keeping an er****on)
Premature ej*******on (ej*******ng too quickly)
The woman may feel stress or disappointment, which can reduce the enjoyment and affect intimacy.
These may be due to anxiety and will stop or hinder the woman from getting pregnant.
Stress and anxiety can affect both partners’ fertility:
In men: It can reduce s***m quality and libido.
In women: It can affect ovulation or reduce cervical mucus quality.
So yes, anxiety can contribute to difficulty conceiving.
Anytime you want to have s*x with your husband, get bitter-cola, 7up or coke and a sachet of nescafe coffee. Add the bitter-cola and the nescafe to the 7up and drink a little and you will experience changes in your s*x life."
