Have you ever felt sexually dysfunctional only to realize you simply weren’t with the right partner? Did things change once you were?

Need some stories or advice here. I (31m) recently got over a short relationship (w/ 30f) where I occasionally had a hard time maintaining an erection. It’s something I’ve experienced in the past with some partners while with some shorter term partners or hookups I never had an issue.

I’m in a spot now where I’m done having casual sex and am looking for a long term partner. After two months of dating my recent “ex” and I broke up with which felt like a mismatch in sexual Chemistry which also might have been a result of a lack of emotional chemistry— often times I’ve felt it hard to connect with her. Despite my efforts we just felt like friends who couldn’t figure out how to sleep together and really enjoy it.

I’m feeling a bit sad after the breakup as it’s something I want to work on but we just don’t seem to be on the same page. I’m now feeling a bit concerned about my sexual performance even though I haven’t had issues with some partners in the past. Feeling a bit sexually insecure and am hoping not to have this issue with future partners.

Long story short, has anyone noticed that it wasn’t their sexuality that was the problem but just simply that they weren’t with the right partner? Any success stories about feeling like you couldn’t get it up (as a dude) or feel comfortable only to date a new partner down the road and realize that it was all about connection in the first place and end up having awesome sex?

TLDR: Felt sexually insecure with recent partner/ex of two months. Anyone feel like they were sexually dysfunctional only to meet a new partner later with better connection leading to a higher libido and great sex?

Edit: I don’t watch porn and I rarely masturbate - but those are great suggestions to consider
