Brief Answer:
Focus on the pleasure, not penile performance

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for choosing HCM
The problem you are facing is called difficulty in maintaining erection. It can be due to the fact that your mind wanders away from the pleasure of sex so the pleasure sensations stop and you lose erection. It is due to anxiety or fear of failure to perform adequately. Focussing on pleasure instead of penile performance can help.

Brief Answer:
Focus on pleasure

Detailed Answer:
hello
You are putting cart before the horse. Pleasure is the result of rubbing of erect penis with the walls of outer third of vagina so erection doesn't cause pleasure, pleasure causes erection . If you keep on monitoring the status of penis, anxiety signals are generated ,result in loss of erection so focussing on pleasure is vital .
