I've also been in this position and it's difficult to be with someone after they have tried all avenues to help in this area. Our relationship didn't last and yes, that was one issue in the relationship that couldn't be resolved. Sex and the intimacy that comes along with it are very important in a relationship (to me anyway) and it's one thing if you just don't have sex regularly versus not being able to perform at all. I have to have sex with my partner, if I can't then it's an issue.
I'm still young, 5 foot 9 and 155lbs, work out 3-4 times a week, and take good care of myself in general, so I'm not gonna be needin any Cialis, Levitra, Extenze, Viagra, Enzyte, etc.
Like many on here, if it was someone I already loved, then I would be more understanding and try to work it out. I would never leave someone if for some reason something happened to them that affected our sex life. But if it was a new person I was dating, then it would definitely affect how I felt about them. Humans are sexual creatures, there is nothing wrong with that.
I was actually in a situation like that. Just started dating this guy, and shortly after I discovered that he had a "problem" in that area. He had a lot of pride, very macho, and never even attempted to acknowledge the very big *ahem* elephant in the bedroom so to speak. I am usually very understanding but I was very frustrated by his refusal to talk about it, and his obvious refusal to seek out any sort of medical help. I think that when it comes to a relationship, communication and trying to make the other partner happy is important. When things like ego get in the way, it not only ruins anything sexual, but also any sort of emotional connection.
If it was JUST no sex, I can and have lived with that. But my experience tells me that no sex also leads to a loss of intimacy and that bond that holds a relationship together. When there's no sex, no intimacy, no bonding, the SO turns into a friend who doesn't want his benefits. That's a hard life to live.
I think the non performer makes a huge mistake by avoiding intimacy that in a normal relationship would lead to sex. I believe they do this because they are hurt or ashamed by their inability to perform or lack of desire.
depends on my feelings for the person. Id say probably not because if I were actually at a stage where I was aware of this , I probably have developed feelings for the person at that point. But he does need to actively look for ways to fix this as sex is important.
I honestly don't know. It would depend on where I was in my life, what my libido was like at the time, whether it was something he could do something about but chose not to..the list is endless. It really isn't a yes or no question for me.
I would not end it just because of that. Love is about more than just sex.
