Impotence-What to do? Feeling helpless!
| Sat, 08-18-2007 - 11:21am |
My husband can no longer have sex in the traditional sense and I'm absolutely sex starved. He can do some things for me and doesn't neglect me sexually, but it's just not the same and I'm left biting my knuckles because I really want to have intercourse... the real thing...no fake objects will do. I've never considered cheating on my husband, but I'm not sure what else I can do to satisfy this need. I've gone for about 5 years now and I just can't take it anymore. What do other women do when this happens? I'm too young to have a sexless marriage...help!

Why cant he have sex? Have you spoken to him about it? What has he done about it? Is he refusing to try to do anything about it?

My husband has sleep problems, manic depression, prostate difficulties plus a few other physical problems. He's on medication for all of these things and has tried going off the medication to correct the problem with impotence, but it doesn't make any difference. The doctor has had him try Viagra with no luck, etc., so he really has tried. This is a really difficult time for me because I have nobody to talk to about it. I've talked to my husband in the past about it, but it just throws him into a greater depression so I found it's no use in bringing it up anymore because he can't seem to do anything about it. I'm not really sure what to do. I'm lonely because my husband is very depressing to talk to and I have to deal with a sexless life to boot. I guess I'm dealing with the "for worse" part of my wedding vows. I try to keep busy and get out with friends to keep uplifted, but it's getting harder and harder all the time. I want someone I can cuddle with and make love to and I love making my loved ones happy and I can't even do that anymore. Nothing makes my husband happy. He tells me I'm the only thing that makes him happy, but yet I feel totally void of feeling cared for emotionally or physically. I've had people ask me why I don't just leave him, I guess that's the answer for some folks, but morally I could never do that to him. At this point I don't think things are ever going to change and I'm at a loss. I don't want to be selfish, but I have some very strong needs that I can't make go away and I'm not sure what to do about it.
