Why would this make a difference?[/quote]
Are you that stupid?[/quote]

DP.  I'll bite.  My DH began developing ED when he was in his mid-40s. By the time he was 50, he could no longer get an erection.  It took DH a while to see a urologist but he did and made significant efforts to address it - to no avail.  So, for the last 5 years, we've had no PIV.  I'm willing to accept that because our lack of PIV was not a unilateral decision, we are affectionate with each other and we engage in other sex-related activities - not with the frequency we used to and usually at my instigation.  But, DH is always responsive and an active participant.

Do I miss PIV?  Sure, I do.  We used to have incredible, frequent sex - best I ever had!  If I were in my 20s/30s, no sex would be a dealbreaker for me no matter the reason.  But, that's not where I'm at.  DH is a great, considerate partner and if he could change the situation, he would.  THAT is why a sexless marriage because of health reasons is different than a sexless marriage because one person, unilaterally, decided not to make an effort to meet the needs of his/her partner.  It's a level of disregard that breaks a relationship. My DH has high regard for me and our relationship. [/quote]

Please get him to a cardiologists.  Vascular issues affect the WHOLE system so the small arteries and veins throughout the body (heart, brain, lungs etc) need to be checked.  [/quote]

PP you're responding to here.  DH has been to a cardiologist and several other specialists.  Unfortunately, there isn't anything to be done unless he wants penile implant. I told him would support his decision and that he should make it based on what he wanted, not what he though I wanted.  [/quote]viagra doesn’t help at all? I’ve had same issue, after turning 50 and it’s helped a tad[/quote]
PP here.  Oral medications were the first things he tried.  He's also tried different types of injections into the penis, penis pump, etc.  Nothing. The shots sound bad but really weren't.  The needle is really thin and small.  DH said he didn't even feel it. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough for him to get a full erection nor to maintain what he had.  [/quote]
