Usually have no issue being “alpha” or manly or whatever. And yes I know me even asking this question is a symptom of one-it is. But for some reason when I was in bed, I couldn’t get it up due to nerves.

And I said I hadn’t been with anyone since my last gf 3 months ago. This isn’t even true but it clearly killed a lot of the attraction in her eyes, even though we continued to have sex after that comment. The words kind of just escaped my mouth, they’re not even true. How do I recover from this? I’d like to tell her sometime that isn’t true and I don’t know why I said that, but I’ll definitely look like a liar then.

I usually hate reading posts like this but hopefully someone will reply, just toss some ideas out there. Thanks, guys!
