If you could get it up, maybe I could see it. Why don't you ask your doctor what's wrong with you?

Yep! Men will lose weight for sex, there is nothing men won't do for sex! We live in a sexist society, wish it was not so.... and I love sex. So, my dh stays skinny![/quote]

Ah. But my point is that they get weirdly defensive and emotional -- and will clam up -- if talking about erectile dysfunction. It happens to men who are not fat, too, you know.

There is a resistance to bringing it up to the doctor, to talking about how it affects the wife, all of it. I'm a doctor. I have literally NEVER had a man make an appointment to talk specifically about erectile dysfunction. They MIGHT bring it up as a "hand on the door question:" as you are halfway out the door, they say, "uh, doc, since I'm here and all …" after you already spent 20 minutes talking about some other inane complaint that didn't make sense. Then you find out it's been a problem for years.

If you were to poll wives of men with erectile dysfunction, how many do you think would say the guy was open to hearing about this problem he needed to deal with? That's regardless of his weight.

But women deal with inability to get wet or orgasm all the time. For them, weight is the emotionally-laden topic. This is supposed to be an a-ha comparison thread, right? For men, the apples to apples comparison isn't their having a weight problem, it's the fact that their dick doesn't work like it used to. [/quote]
