Performance anxiety negatively impacts sexual satisfaction for both men and women in relationships. Men face societal pressures to be sexual experts, which can inhibit erections and reduce pleasure. Women experience similar performance pressures, resulting in expectations to appear sexy and achieve orgasm effortlessly. Research shows that high-performance anxiety in one partner correlates with lower satisfaction for both partners. A focus on fun and emotional connection is essential for improving sexual experiences, suggesting that the pressures to perform should be alleviated to foster intimacy.
