Trouble Getting an Erection Posted: 08-08-07 11:51am
My boyfriend has issues getting a
erection. I have talked to him about it
many times and it seems he does het horney
but his penis won't cooperate with him. He
doesn't even get an hard on in the morning
when he wakes up. Last night he was
complaining about the pain in his right
testes. I know that it is not me because
he does get an erection sometimes and we
end up having sex. If he wasn't attracted
to me anymore he wouldn't be able to do it
with me at all. He doesn't even get
erection waching porn and he doesn't
mastrubate at all. This is not affecting
our reliationship because he is very open
to talk to me about it and I'm very
understanding. I'm just very worried about
his health and I can't seem to get him go
to the doctor. I was wondering if that
could be just a mid-life crisis or
something more serious. He is 31 years
old. Does anyone know what is going on and
how to make him go see a doctor? Thanks

It depends on why he doesn't want to go to
the doctor.
If he doesn't want to go because of
embarrassment you have to convince that
it's not. That doctors have seen
everything and are not their to judge.
If he doesn't want to go, because he's
afraid of finding something wrong, you
have to convince that it's better to know
than to not. It could be something that
needs to be taken care of and can be taken
care of.
Keep trying.
Is this a recent problem?

Well It's been going on for about five
months now. He just doesn't want to know
what is going on and I'm very worried that
it might be something serious.

He should definitely get checked out. Keep
trying to get him to go to the doctors.
You say he doesn't want to know, so
convince that it's important to know and
waiting could make it worse or too late.
Find out if he has any other objections as
well. Such as, does he not like his
doctor. Female doctor? Will be embarrassed
going to the doctor anytime after this?
And find a solution, such as get a new
doctor, go to a specialist, get a doctor
of a gender he'd prefer, etc.
There are problems that could be
diagnosed, but I'd almost think they're
just going to diagnose ED and give him
pills. The problem with that is, what is
ED? It's not a disease, it's a symptom. So
find a doctor that will actually conduct
tests. Blood pressure and diabetes can
cause ED.
The most important thing is to be healthy.
Eating right and exercise can have major
affect on all areas of well being,
including erections. A naturopath could
help you with that.
