Hello. We have another group on here and you will find there are far more of us who do deal (or try to)with this same issue.

It is unfathomable to me at just how many of us (from 20s to 70s) do have to deal with this. At the same time it did give me a bit of comfort knowing I was not alone. (As well as an outlet to say what is on my mind knowing many others do feel the same. )

Sexless Marriage as well as Sex on the Brain are 2 other groups you may also want to check out.

Hugs, Kim

Yes! Thank you so much I’ll check those out

A few thoughts here, take or leave them as you wish: I myself 'suffer' from ED (in my later 50s now), but it does not affect my sexual desire and/or ability to experience sexual pleasure, including climax. When you fear that you will 'never have sex again' (and title your post 'sexless marriage'), are suggesting he lacks sexual desire (as that is different from mere ED)? ED obviously affects your mutual ability to enjoy intimacy via penetration, but that is only one aspect of sexual encounter/intimacy; there are numerous 'work arounds' which can bring significant measures of mutual fulfillment, especially when genuine love binds you together. So I wonder about three interrelated but distinct issues in such situations: ED, sexual desire and love. Again, take or leave this as you wish, hoping the best for you both and especially your lives together. - Katinas

I appreciate your insight but my situation is more complicated. As my husband has very low libido and isn’t interested most of the time. I love him and I am heartbroken for him and us as a couple. I can’t imagine what he must feel like dealing with this at such a young age.

I'm so sorry to hear about your situation. I'm 47 and a man in a sexless marriage. Totally different set of circumstances as there is no ED on my end. Instead I have a wife with no libido at all. It's heart breaking and tearing us apart. I feel at times unless I were to consider divorce that I might just as well go the rest of my life without sex. I would suggest you talk with your husband. Tell him that sex is something you require for intimacy and closeness. There are other ways obviously to be sexual than full on sex where perhaps you could both be satisfied ? I hope your guys figure things out

I'm in my 40s here, totally can sympathize with you, my husband had a prostatectomy(which I resent because I felt like he didn't care about our love life and made a very hast decision)couple of years ago, I'm so sad that it's over for us at such a young age, we used to be close and had a great love life. Now we're just like 2 roommates, there's definitely a war between us, he doesn't want to talk about it he's trying on his own to "fix" his ED, he won't communicate what the Dr says, I have to dig, then he gets irritated. I'm so sad and upset! We've been married 18 years, 3 wonderful children, in resentment I thought about going out for one night thing with a guy who's always had the sweet on me and have always been "waiting" for me... I'm so torn! I'm a very healthy, fit, passionate person, I break down thinking how I'd go on like this faithfully to my husband for the rest of my life

is he dieabetic? has he been checked, that has ALOT to do with ED. Im dieabetic at 48, have been for yrs. love sex and everything to do the thoughts are in my head/mind, but it dont compute to my lower half. having diabeties cause's bad ed

Hello, I'm 40 and I started showing signs of ED about a year ago. One day I watched the documentary, Forks Over Knives. It explains that ED is a blood flow problem due to narrowing of the arteries from the food we eat. Long story short, I'm a Vegan now and I have no signs whatsoever. Its worth a watch.
