3. Has your sex life become too vanilla? I'll avoid any specific recommendations but over time I've become more adventuresome which is exciting for both of us.

We are very, very wild.

I think you be frank with him. That's tactful enough. Tell him to see a doctor for his enjoyment.


33 is young. Is he masturbating or watching porn to excess?

We had problems with porn use 10 years ago. I would like to say it isn't a problem now but who knows?

Have an honest conversation with him. He may be relieved to talk about the elephant in the room.

I am 42, and I had mild problems. Most of the time, I could perform, but sometimes I had trouble maintaining and finishing. I am in good shape, normal testosterone, but a little low on the thyroid. Point being, it could be an underlying medical issue and he should get a full panel done. But it could be just early aging down there - my doc said about 30% of men at age of 40 have issues and more than half by age 50.

I got on low dose cialis, and it really makes a huge difference. Erections are bigger, thicker but more importantly they are effortless so now we can both really enjoy sex without the pressure of worrying about something quitting on you. I think my wife knew something was off, it was actually awkward for me to suggest it, but I think she was thrilled that issue is out of the way.

Did you see your regular doc or a specialist?

Is he on psych meds? The only time my DH ever had an issue maintaining was when he increased his antidepressant. And he is several decades older than your DH.


Bottom line he needs a doctor.

Maybe a 1/4 pill, see what it's like to be 16 again. If he tries it, he will probably be hooked from then on. Make it sound sexy, not like a failing and...

Did you really fing ask him if he's gay because of erectile issues? SMH

Um, some men are secretly gay. If she asked, it's probably because deep down she suspects.

Oh STFU with this stupid bullshit.
