This time: 'How to solve my performance problem?'
My wife of 28 years and I are new to the lifestyle. We are having lots of fun... But I've run into a bit of a performance problem. At age 50 I've not had any erectile problems until we're with other couples. For some reason... I have trouble either getting it up or maintaining erections. This is a new problem for me. When I'm just with my wife...I'm good to go. I'm so embarrassed and I really want to continue our adventures but now I'm feeling too self conscious to meet other couples.
Any advice you can offer will be appreciated.

One strong word of advice - do not be totally 'goal' oriented. Go with the flow - you don't have to perform, just enjoy. Performance brings so many issues to the fore ... ... emotional, old blueprints, issues/experien ces you had forgotten about. The pressure to perform should not be the primary goal!
Have fun, make it a mutual fun experience - good luck!
My solution is not scientific but I solved the problem through trials and error.
#1- You need a hard erection...anyt ime you are aroused.
Kegel exercises are the best way to achieve that. Your penis is not a muscle however, your pelvic muscle is your "penis muscle". Its strength diminishes as you age (starting in you mid 20's). So you need to exercise that muscle regularly. Don't just do 10 reps and done. Start with 50 to 100 reps 4 times a week. You'll start seeing and feeling the difference after the 1st day (you'll see veins start popping out of your penis)
I've tried pills, they only give me massive headaches. I stay away from them
Wine helps your erection also, but too much is not good. 2 glasses of red wine before sex helps your mood and erection too.
#2- Distraction
Losing your focus especially when you are in a new environment, setting is an erection killer. A "cock ring" helps tremendously. There will be multiple intervals where you will lose focus during sex due to anxiety, poor visibility etc and these brief seconds can escalate to your mind and ruin your experience.
A cock ring will help you keep your erection during these brief intervals until you regain your focus again. I don't always use it, but in new settings and environment, i always have it handy if i feel a bit anxious.
#3 Visibility
As men, our vision is our best and most powerful sex sense. Poorly lit room is a mood killer. Men like to see a woman's body and reaction when she's getting pleasured. Seeing those will keep your erection up.
And also as men, when you are in a dark room or even around people you are not too familiar with, your defensive instinct can over take your mind. That can cause anxiety and kill your mood
good luck
