trying to be supportive of boyfriend with ED

Post a new topicby tucker on Sat Feb 16, 2008 11:49 am


My boyfriend (who is in his early thirties) is dealing with issues associated with ED. We have always had a great sex life and still do, but the problems are starting to happen more frequently. He has mentioned having problems with it starting from when he first became sexually active. I have a very high sex drive and he doesn't. Our relationship is beginning to suffer because I tend to get upset each time it happens which in turn only makes it worse on him. I am trying my hardest to find ways to be more supportive for him, but my constant fear that "is it me?" is always there and the ego gets bruised as well. He has no problem GETTING an erection, but tends to lose it midway through sex. I am curious as to why though, he doesn't have any problems keeping an erection when I'm "manually" pleasing him. ?? (that is where the fear comes in that he is not pleased with ME) He is under more stress than usual at the moment because he has just gotten laid of from his job...I DO take that into consideration, but this has been happening periodically throughout our entire relationship. Any suggestions for me as to how I can be fully supportive of him before it drives a wedge into our relationship? Should I recommend him seeing a doctor?

hey just think of it like this, im am sure he wants to have sex with you, but its a diesase, physically he is not able to so im sure he fells alot worse than you do as i did. Here is some more information on Erectile Dysfunction so you cansee about about what causes it.

hi,
your boyfriend were instructed to attempt sexual intercourse 30 minutes after
taking avanafil, with no restrictions on food or alcohol consumption.
Results showed that up to 84 percent of avanafil doses resulted in
erections sufficient for vaginal
penetration, as compared to placebo (p<0.001).
No serious adverse events were reported during this study.
and your boyfriend should go to doctor.

I think you should visit this site:

hey there, I read your post and all i can honestly tell you it has nothing to do with you. My girlfriend and i have the same problem and everytime it happens i can see the tears well up in her eyes and she gets fed up. I know she thinks its her and it hurts me to have her think that, i cant even offer her reassurance because she doesnt believe it. I mean the proof is right there his dick isnt working right? Wrong... I love my girlfriend more than anything, i dont fantasize about other women, im extremely attracted to her and wanna please her in bed and i still have the problem. Shes hung in there w/ me so far but i dont know how long she will. so if you have any doubts about him not wanting you or being attracted to you, im almost %1000 positive he does.
just bear w/ him for now and try to find the source of the problem maybe hormonal problems or bloodflow problems or whatever they may be.
