AboutJim Swanson Expertise I have often helped gays in their challenge to understand what it means to come out and how best to start down that road. I have and also helped gays to reconcile the often difficult struggle of being gay and being a Christian. I now understand one of God's truths more clearly: Our pain is not wasted when we can reach around and comfort another coming along behind us on the same path.
Experience I too had to deal with these issues when I finally accepted who I was and started down my own path to come out. It is difficult to imagine now how much I have changed and how much I have learned as I traveled this most curious journey. For many years, I have hosted a website to address this issue and to help others.

Answer Hi Eric,
First off... congratulations on coming to understand that you are gay. I hope your experience is as wonderful as mine has been and that you live your life to the fullest.
Now, as for your concern about not always being able to perform as often as you would like. The first think you need to remember is that we are all individuals and like everything else, our sexual needs and abilities vary. Sure, some guys can and want sex once or more each day but certainly, that is not normal for everyone. It is also possible that other factors are effecting your performance. First, I am assuming you are talking about anal intercourse and maybe that is not what YOU need. We all have different needs and enjoy some forms of sex more than others. I know that for me, anal sex is not that important. You need to be sure you both discuss your needs and desires freely. You both need to know what the other likes and dislikes. Another thing that can be affecting you is the pressure to preform. Once you have had a problem, you will get that in your mind and feel pressure the next time you are in the same situation. Also, drugs and alcohol effects some of us. For me, if I have several drinks, I don't perform as well. Lastly, if you are using a condom, if it is too tight, that too will kill your erection.
Most of all, just relax and enjoy each other. There is nothing wrong with just cuddling and being close without needing to get off every time you are together. and remember... be open and honest with each other regarding all aspects of your relationship.
