My BF has erectile dysfunction(ED). He had some tests done by a doctor recently. He was screened for prostate cancer, it was negative. Thank goodness for that. He is not diabetic.
But, he takes cholesterol meds. He has another doctor appointment soon. So, hopefully we get to the bottom of this soon by figuring out what the problem is.

Hello Everyone! I am back. I just thought that I would take time to give more information for those of you to read.
I am not complaining about our sex life. Our sex sex life is good. We make the best of it. Even though my BF has ED, I make the best of it. Our sex life consists mostly of foreplay and oral sex. We watch porn together. We masturbate together, he enjoys watching me. He(my BF) thinks it is a turn on. I also have some toys, and he likes to watch me use them and he uses those toys on me, too.

Welcome to the board, hillsboroqueenie.

My hubby has had problems with ED in the past, and I know it can be very frustrating. His meds might be contributing to the problem.

It's great that he's seeing a doctor about it. I think a lot of men try to avoid that, and it really can put a strain on your relationship. Keep us posted on how things are going after his appointment.

You might also want to check out the April Roll Call. It's a great way to get to know some of the other members who frequent the board.

Thank you for welcoming me here. With my BF, I have alot of patience with him, and he appreciates that. He does take alot of meds, I know that I mentioned that before.
When we are in the bedroom, if he can't perform, I tell him it is ok. After all, I love him so much. When you love a person, you are going to be supportive and patient.

Will you be going to his doctors appointment with him?

The support you are giving him now really will make a big difference in the long run where ED is concerned. It's a very difficult thing for most guys. Being both supportive and encouraging is an important role for you.

He has another doctor appointment when he gets home from a business trip. I'll try to go with him that day.
