My BF and I are both 38 years old and have been together for over two years....... with an extremely active sex life. However, about a month ago he was hospitalized and diagnosed with Congestive Heart Failure and hypertension. All is now under control with meds, diet. and lifestyle changes (no alcohol or cigs). Since he was hospitalized he has not had an erection, not even when waking up. At first he was convinced it was because he had a catheter n the hospital. I looked it up and saw that it is a possible side effect of his meds. For those of you who have experience with this, what is the best way to handle it? Does it mean we will never have sex again? We plan to get married. He does not seem concerned. Is this the case or is he embarrassed or afraid that he may never be able to perform again? Please don"t get me wrong. I love him and am thankful he is alive. He has been given a second chance at life. However, I do have to think of this as well. Thank you
Many of my partners have told me dildos and strap ons were better than the real thing. One advantage is they come in many sizes. I have also learned from the response of many women, that size really does matter.
