Impotence or disinterest?

Sex is such a small part of a relationship anyway and it would be a terrible waste to throw away a beautiful relationship over something so minor.

He has recognised that he has a problem and he is trying to seek help for it. The more pressure he feels - from you and from himself - the worse it is going to get. When I am stressed at work I have absolutely no interest in sex at all, but my hubby and I are still close - we cuddle and talk and just enjoy being together. I think everyone gets this from time to time (and your bf has it bad right now) but a strong relationship just deals with it and weathers it out. When his problems get straightened out, the no-sex issue will just disappear. If you love him, give him the time and space to get himself right.

Ask yourself: would you rather have a loving relationship and no sex or brilliant sex and a rubbish relationship? Which is more important to you? I hope the answer is obvious to you.

Good luck.

You don't sound like you know what you want. Yes, he could be stressed out due to his job & what the future may hold for him. Also, being a nervous type doesn't help too much, either. Does he smoke, drink beer/ale, booze, do drugs? Does he eat junk food & fast food garbarge & drink sugary sweet soda's. Is he on any type of medication? Any one or any combination of these things can cause sexual problems.

Keep in mind that the occurrence of ED can occur due to a number of other diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, diseases of the thyroid gland, prostate gland, nervous system, urinary system, and a drop in hormone levels particularly during Andropause, as well as a host of mental issues. In addition, the use of numerous drugs prescribed by doctors for common problems such as high blood pressure, depression and stomach ulcers may also exacerbate ED.

What are my options?

Definite DON'Ts

Alcohol

Alcohol kills reproductive cells and decreases sperm viability. It also disrupts the link between the brain and the penis. Excessive use of alcohol inhibits the creation of the male sex hormone, androgen.

Smoking

Nicotine reduces arterial pressure and as a result, prevents blood circulation to the penis. In addition, toxic substances from smoking are detrimental for sperm maturation.

Marijuana

Sharply reduces the level of male sexual hormones, disrupts chromosomes and promotes undesired genetic changes.

Anabolic Steroids

Anabolic steroids bear a close resemblance to testosterone and as a result, the body stops its natural production causing impotence to occur.

High Cholesterol

Too much cholesterol blocks the vessels providing blood to the penis and thereby reduces the blood flow necessary to maintain an erection.

Overweight

Being overweight can disrupt your hormone balance and, as a result, the production of hormones necessary for achieving erection can become insufficient.

Chemical drugs

Studies show that out of two hundred most used medicines; as many as sixteen are likely to cause impotence. Among the most risky are drugs used for the treatment of high blood pressure, depression, insomnia, ulcers, tumors, plus a couple of medications used to combat allergy.

Definite DOs

Nutrition

Cut garlic into small pieces and eat 4 raw cloves a day for best results. Feel free to add it to your regular diet which needs plenty of fruits and vegetables. To combat bad garlic breath, chew on fresh parsley or mint after you eat the garlic.

Get enough fiber; for men 35 grams a day. Eat grains, bran, whole meal bread, legumes, lentils, berries, prunes, barley, millet, buckwheat and oatmeal. Keeping the transit time for waste to pass through the body as low as possible is a great way to promote overall health. Avoid overeating.

Avoid smoked stuff, fat & red meats; slash sweets and anything made with white flour. Substitute omega 3 rich foods such as salmon, tuna, sardines and flaxseed. Avoid sugar and salt as much as possible.

Use suitable oils are those made of olives, flax, sesame, sunflower or rape. Also include unsalted nuts, sunflower and pumpkin seeds in moderation.

Exercise

Aerobic exercise every day is a must especially as we age. No excuses; just get out there and do at least 30 minutes a day, 5-6 days a week with activities such as: walking, jogging, swimming, biking, rowing, etc. You'll also have the added benefit of reduced stress levels and enhanced moods. Don't forget to calculate your target heart rate and stay within that zone.

Additional Tip: Keep your attitude positive; it can't hurt!

seeing as how he is going to a therapist for it I would definitely say it is sexual impotence. It happens dear and I think he will be just fine in the right hands of a medical Professional.Hang in there! I have been where you are and I thought if I was good enough it would work but he assured me otherwise and I believed him because all his actions proved he did love me.

oh pleeeaaassseee don't dump him. i also lose my erection sometimes during sex and my girlfriend is AMAZING. he is definitely attracted to you i mean, comeon! he's seeing a psychiatrist for you. ALOT of guys have this performance thing and it can have a ridiculous amount of reasons behind it

He's probably just nervous.

If he does all this for you, he most likely is afraid he wont suffice.

Just be supportive.

don't leave him just because he cant hold a erect he lvoes with with all his heart just give him more time

He's probably Gay.....
