Read the opening

From chapter 1, "Two Men, One Question". Every guide is written like a story, with real research behind it.

Tuesday, 8:00pm. Jide's phone. A message from Tobi.

Jide, embarrassing question. When Nneoma and I start, everything is fine. But when I stop to put the condom on, it goes soft. Every time. Then I panic, and it gets worse. Is something wrong with me? I am only 19.

Thursday, 10:00pm. Jide's car. Kunle, Funmi's husband, sits in the passenger seat.

Kunle, the gentle giant, had asked for a lift home after the Car Park Sessions. Halfway there, he said, looking out of the window: "It starts well. But then halfway through, it just... fades. Especially if we change position. Or if I start thinking. Funmi is kind about it. But I feel like a car that stalls at traffic lights."

Jide parked outside Kunle's house and turned off the engine. "Kunle, Tobi asked me almost the same thing on Tuesday. He is 19."

Kunle turned, surprised. "Nineteen?"

"Nineteen."

JideAmara, Tobi AND Kunle asked me about losing erections halfway. Ages 19 and 43.
AmaraTolu says it is one of the most common things young men ask nurses about, especially with condoms.
JideReally?
AmaraReally. And older men with work stress. It is like a club nobody knows they are in.
JideThe Soft Club.
AmaraPlease do not name it that.
JideToo late.
