Erectile Dysfunction

Hi to all.
I’m the partner of ED sufferer and it’s great to have a place to come and see that I (we) are not alone.
We have been together for about 11 years and during the first month or so of beginning sexual intimacy there was a problem of Premature Ejaculation. He saw a specialist and was given Viagra and Injections. These didn’t really help although as the Doctor explained they can be used for PE as well as other ED’s.
The problem soon became impotence. I encourage...Read the full article

Hi,
I am having somewhat the same problem with my husband. We were married in October of 2003, before the wedding our sex life was great. Then in January of 04 his oldest brother (who was the best man ) died suddenly of a heart attack, after that my husband became depressed. If that wasn't bad enough in May of 05 his boss of 18 years died. I have been going with him to the VA hospital since March of 06 and they keep saying that there is nothing wrong with my husband, we haven't had sex in 3 years. I kept telling the doctors that my husband is suffering from Ed. Finally, he told my husband on Friday, Jan, 18, 08 that he had ordered Levitra which would be sent to him in the mail. I think that something else is wrong with my husband besides depression. I am a retired nurse, and I think that my husband's problem has to do with poor blood circulation. When something is preventing the blood from reaching the penis it can cause ED. The bad thing is that the blockage could be a clot that can move into the lung, heart , or brain and cause severe damage or death. I feel that maybe it's me and that my husband doesn't love with me, but he says that he still loves me, he refuses to talk to me about the problem and so I go to bed night after night hoping that things will change. I try not to throw it up to him and I have even told him that we don't have to have sex to be affectionate, but he gets in the bed and turns his back and goes to sleep night after night. If I cuddle close to him, He moves. I am thinking about getting separate beds. I don't know if Levitra will work, but right now its my last hope. I would like to know how to cope with this problem and I an open to any suggestions. I think that my husband is embarrassed that he can't perform sexually because before I moved to this state and married him, he was a "player" he used to have no problem getting a woman. Now he doesn't even talk about sex. We dated from 1996 until I moved here in 2002 and married him in 2003, even long distance when he came to visit me or I came to visit him we had wonderful sex. Because he has a history of heart disease, high blood pressure and cancer in his family I am scared. He has lost a great deal of weight since we have been married. Recently he has dropped about 15 pounds for no known reason and the doctor says that his weight is good for his height, when I moved here he was a little over weight he weighed about 175-180 now he is down to 156 pounds, I can count his ribs. He lost down to about 162, then he went back up to 167, then 176 and now he is down to 156. I worry that something else is wrong that the doctor's are overlooking.
