Can't sustain erection when putting condom on (and girl blaming herself)
I met this great girl, and everything would be wonderful if it wasn't for the fact that any time we're having sex and I'm tryging to take the condom and put it on I lose my erection. Even if I put it on, I'm already too limp to put my penis inside her. It happend the first time we had sex (it wasn't my first time but first time something like this happened to me) and surprised me, but ever since I started to sort of expect it, going limp even on the mere thought of reaching for the condom.
What makes it stranger is that I'm very attracted to this girl. She makes me horny like nobody before, I have erection in all other sexual moments, I can come when stimulated with her hand or orally (and I had thought it was impossible for me!), I had almost come just rubbing it against her now and then (but tried going for the condom instead - you can imagine the result). Also, I care very much about her and I'm afraid of losing her over this bullshit. She's insecure and this whole ordeal makes her very frustrated and depressed (apparently, she blames herself, her looks). It's been several days of this (we live in different towns and so don't see each other that often, our relationship has lasted somewhat longer). Today she broke down and cried, now she took zolpidem and went to sleep. And I'm here, losing my mind over this (I'm pretty sure she won't give me yet another chance to keep it up, and I'd probably blow it anyway), feeling like shit. Right now I couldn't even get erection if my life depended on it.
What should I do? What could I possibly tell her? Do you have any similar experience/know similar stories that I could tell her about?
I'm sorry for this poor piece of writing, it reflects my state of mind. I don't even usually talk about my problems in this way.
