may as well make it unanimous

in a sort of eye-candy way; but it really doesn't translate into having a stiffer cock when we get down to business.

The biggest factor is how seductive the gal acts, and how good she is at charming me.

Of course my mental and physical state is a big factor too.  If I'm tired or I I'm distracted by work or personal problems, I probably won't perform as well.

Maybe it's just me.  It seems like the prettier the provider, often younger, the worse I perform (can't get hard enough for very good fucking).  With women who are less the beauty ideal (7/8 vs 9/10) I seem to do better.  I'm sure it's all in the head, the big one.  Anyone else have this problem?

I feel that way about guys too actually, in a way.  The higher on the review scale, the more they seem to be conceited and expect to be worshipped.  I prefer a guy who is into me or us, not just himself.  This may be true about narcassitic women too.  They may have an air of superiority making you feel a little undeserving or something.

Maybu 'cuz I'm also pushing 60.  
When I'm with a mediocre looker, it's more or less a matter of, "Well, you're not as hot as I'd hoped, but let's make the best of it and just get the job done."

OTOH, I've had it happen that I was so stoked with the looks of a provider that I intentionally put off coming in order to make the best of the hour, since I can't usually come up with seconds.  Pumping and grinding for too long has occasionally resulted in flagging of the old guard.

Are you a man or woman? Gay or straight?  Provider or client?  I think I get what you're saying but better reference would help.

I'm usually under the influence to some degree and I take pills to make sure I get my money's worth....

Next!

I think that the user (melting pot) is a woman, and she is telling the OP that the same thing can happen to her with very good looking men; it is related to narcissistic behavior or attitude in the other party.

I think that's what this was about. I could be wrong. It has happened a couple of times ; )

Hell yeah I take those too (Viagra, etc.).

The more I think about it, like Mr. Fisher said, there could be a lot of factors.  Performance in reality hasnt been solely influenced by looks.

Perhaps you feel you are not worthy of the finer merchandise.  I, however, do not share your neurosis.  The hotter the honey, the harder the wood.

But it's multi-factorial.  I'm working on it.

I think there's less mental pressure I place upon myself (to get my money's worth - as provider hotness often is associated with a higher price-tag) when the provider is what I perceive to be more on my level.

...more a state of mind than a set of requirements " sexystephie

I am so excited... I got to quote my very own made up quote because it kinda fits in good here...
Looks are exactly that, looks.  Pretty is good for looking at but sexy is great for getting the job done and done well.  I know I am not very pretty. I am cute enough, and my body is pretty good but I am hardly guna stop traffic...but I know I am sexy.  And that, my friend, will make your encounter with me... the  bomb.
And I am sure it has alot to do with someones attitude. If they have been fawned  all over all their lives they probably do think you should be happy just basking in their loveliness.
Wow, that was pretty prejudicial.  Some of them would think that.  
So believe me, you probably shouldnt worry about how you will do, because if you do it too good, you would mess their hair and makeup and that just wouldnt be pretty.

Now I leave my makeup on the pillowcase and my hair is all over the place... and you may not say Look at that beautiful lady....... but you will say DAMN !!
