I dive deep with Alex Grendi into the realities of performance anxiety, premature ejaculation, and the pressure men carry in the bedroom. We unpack how self-worth, porn, and emotional tension affect arousal and sexual confidence. Alex breaks down the psychology behind performance issues and shares practical solutions men can start using immediately. This conversation is honest, raw, and a must listen for any man who wants a healthier relationship with sex.SHOW HIGHLIGHTS00:00 Introduction00:35 How self-worth affects sex01:17 Emotional roots of performance issues02:03 Porn and male conditioning03:19 Nervous system and arousal04:34 Porn induced dysfunction05:37 Unrealistic expectations07:22 Shame and performance pressure07:45 Women influenced by porn08:20 Monetization joke break10:01 What men really want12:49 Why men feel pressure13:12 Saying no to sex15:18 Handling anxiety during sex16:53 Belief and awareness17:36 Pressure when sex is infrequent18:29 Communication with partners19:59 Reducing pressure22:14 In the moment anxiety tools24:03 Breath control in sex25:30 Parasympathetic vs sympathetic states27:38 Arousal pacing and control29:50 Hyper stimulation from porn31:44 Self worth and performance links33:15 Where low self worth comes from34:45 Perfectionism and pressure35:16 Support and standards37:37 Using sex for validation38:56 Understanding different dysfunctions41:33 What causes ED in healthy men43:54 Forcing erections vs allowing44:30 Emotional litmus test45:35 Nervous system signals46:50 Emotional suppression47:46 Performance with highly attractive partners48:45 Self-sabotage49:39 Building sexual confidence49:58 Rituals and daily practice53:57 Letting go of control56:05 Reconnecting to the body57:48 Sex as meditation58:29 Romance novels conversation01:00:20 Where to find Alex***Tired of feeling like you're never enough?
