Thoughts on being open about ED

I am wanting to start a new relationship but suffer with severe ED.

Some of my closest friends suggest I should wait to tell her once we have reached the point of being intimate but I think that would be unfair and maybe put her in a position of feeling guilty if she can not accept my limitations. Please be honest and give be the bottom line. Should I be upfront from the get go.

Thanks

" Tell her up front. If she doesn't want to stick around you don't want her. There is way more to life than intercorse. By the way, there are many other things you can do besides intercourse that classify as "intimate" or "sex". "

" Actually, it is a tricky question. Because, it would be respectful to tell such thing right away. But on the other hand, why you should forbid yourself to have love in your life? Cuz, if after some dates she really starts to feel in love with you, you both will figure this problem out.
I suggest telling her about this after a few dates. "

" Thanks for your responses.

I have elected to be upfront since i put myself in her position and how would I handl it.

I can take rejection early in a relationship even maybe before its started but I don't think it would be fair to me or more so her later in the relationship.

Again I thank you all and have agreat Thanksgiving.
