If you’re being intimate with someone who’s had a lot of partners, it’s common to have performance anxiety. How will you rate with all those who’ve come before you and in all likelihood will come after you?
I have severe kiddish (blessing over wine on the Sabbath and Jewish holidays) performance anxiety. My Hebrew is poor. I get really nervous when I have to say kiddish in front of others.
There are just so many ways to look stupid in Judaism.
