2. Embrace variety

Think sex toys, kink, role play etc. Do some research to find new sexual ideas that you can incorporate in your sex life that will be pleasing to both your partner and yourself.

3. Eliminate causes of ED

Focus on having a good time and forget why you’re here in the first place. Be in the moment. Allow yourself to enjoy the pleasure being given to you instead of beating yourself up for not having a strong erection.
