I've been doing this thing called bed humping since I was in 6th or 7th grade. Now when I try to have real sex, my penis gets hard at first but then the hardness just goes away. Is this something I should be worried about?

Your experience with bed humping masturbation may have led to a condition known as "death grip syndrome," where the brain becomes accustomed to the intense stimulation and pressure, making it challenging to maintain an erection during real sex; consider speaking with a sex therapist or healthcare professional to address this issue and explore techniques to improve your sexual performance and overall satisfactio
