My story
by: Sad and scared
on Fri, Sep 14 2007
I’ve been reading the posts here and would like to share my story, for what it may be worth. My husband had some symptoms of ED or other sexual problems early in our relationship (when he was in his early 30s)–frantic pumping, intercourse over very quickly (within seconds). I had little experience, so I didn’t recognize these symptoms at the time. (I’d never been with someone who could last minutes!!!) About 12 or 13 years ago, sex became almost nonexistant. My husband could rarely achieve an erection, no matter the stimulation, and would always lose it when faced with entering me (this made me feel really great). After all this time, this situation has really taken a toll on our relationship. He has tried some pills, and has been to a few doctors, but will not talk to me, is secretive, and nothing has worked. This has become such a sore point that all aspects of our marriage have been affected. I can really relate to “Fed up”. What is a woman to do? I have tried to be supportive over the years, but now I feel like I’m wasting away. Is this really what my life was destined to be like? No sex after 34? Of course, this is not something that can be talked about. No one would imagine this is going on. We have 3 children to finish raising, and after that, I’m afraid that there’s little to keep us together. We’re in marriage counseling, but it doesn’t seem to be helping at all. He’s not even talking to be now, since we left the counselor the other day. I’m so sad. What happened to us????

- Gradual but complete ED - by CB - (Sun, Sep 30 2007)
I was about 48 when I noticed things were different. Erections took longer to form, weren’t as firm and didn’t last as long, frequently unable to complete intercourse. I hadn’t had a physical in a while, was taking antidepressants, mildly elevated blood pressure, mild hypothyroid, mildly lowered testosterone, extremely high triglycerides.

I was dating a man for three years, when we started being intimate, we started foreplay and then he started this banging stuff, let me remind you that he’s in his 40’s. I’ve been in two long term relationships, and personally, I haven’t experienced anything like that before.

- ED - VERY DIFFICULT SITUATION - by JJ - (Sat, Sep 22 2007)
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.

I wish my husband would even try as hard as you have, but he refuses. The pills will work, but he won’t even take them anymore. He won’t try anything ! That’s just it ! I don’t press him, or pressure him anymore either and mostly do for myself, but that’s getting OLD ! I guess I will just have to give up on that part of my life, because I can’t make him.

- Is it me? - by Cathy - (Sat, Sep 08 2007)
My husband suffers from low levels of testosterone. This leads to low libidi & erectile dysfunction. For many years into our marriage, we were not aware of the medical cause and this made both of us feel inadequate.

- Unbelievable stories - by TW - (Fri, Sep 07 2007)
I happened to accidently stumble upon this website and was totally surprised at some of the letters I read. I had no conceivable idea that such a large number of males suffered from ED and from any/all ages and walks of life. It made me wonder if anyone is doing anything to fight and/or cure this affliction.
