Past/Present Clients I do not discuss past or present clients
I have been with my partner for 9 months now sex when we first met wasnt much of a problem but for the past few months he finds it hard to initiate sex/get sexually aroused/stay erect.
He says that its only happened to two girls in his life myself and his ex wife - as were the only women he has ever loved and cared about deeply and these problems occured with me once he got attatched and fell in love with me.
Women he has dated in the past he has no problem what so ever and has told me its due to not having an emotional attatchment to them just sex.
I am very confused as i love him dearly and we talk about everything were soul mates - but this is one and only one issue we have in our relationship.
Thanks
Answer Hi Sarah
Thanks for sharing with me.
It sounds as if your partner is dealing with some form of psychological erectile dysfunction.
There are many possible causes from this, including, but not limited to, stress, perceived or real pressures to sexually perform, poor self esteem etc.
The best thing you can do as a couple is get him seen by a counsellor and get appropriate assistance. It should only take a few appointments and medications should not be needed.
Meanwhile reasure your partner that you love him and you will be there to support him.
