Regardless of the correctness of the deleted post, any comments regarding those with ED or impotency trying to find partners.

To add some humour - this thread reminds me of an ailment I heard of when we were living in Singapore - sometimes Chinese men believed that their penis was disappearing into their body. Due to eating "off" pork.
Which could lead to "sorry dear, it must have been that pork we had for dinner."
I agree with Pompa and others, an active sex life can't go on forever, and affection is more important.

My OH is impotent after a prostate cancer operation. For us it is a small price to pay for his life, and an affectionate comfortable cuddle is both comforting, and at 70+ perfectly acceptable for both of us.

It’s very unfortunate to hear about your issue. You can try shock wave therapy once. I know drugs like sildenafil citrate, tadalafil or vardenafil would not come to your rescue. It’s purely mechanical now. He can try using a penile pump or device.

This thread has been dormant for 4 or 5 years, BrentFoust I daresay the problem has been solved by now (or maybe not)
