No joke - serious here.

I love the man, but I don't think he understands he has a problem. First he has no health insurance to see a doctor, but I also don't know how to tell him.

I'm not satisfied. He can't get it up or keep it up, and with all the work he has to do to get it ready, it's over in a minute or less.

But I love him. He tries in other ways to please me, but there's nothing like that connection between the two of us for me. Has anyone else loved someone with undiagnosed and untreated ED? What did you do?

ED? Are you talking about someone with an "emotional disturbance" disorder?

"I'm not satisfied"

"But I love him."

When you use the word 'but', you negate the sentence previous it.

Do you think maybe he knows he has a problem but is embarrassed over it? Maybe exactly what you are telling us is what he is afraid you will feel.

Build him up and make it about him, not you. Let it be ok and it may not be so hard for him the next time around. Maybe initiate just some cuddling, something where he does not have to worry about performance and 'getting it up'. Do something to let him feel good about himself and that is not all about having to achieve erection to keep you.

Show him that you love him for him. Build each other up.

I wish you all the luck in the world.

Yikes! Sounds like a double-whammy (ED and PE)!

If the ED part is caused by physical problems, it can most likely be fixed with the "new" ED meds -- Viagra, Cialis or Levitra. If one of those doesn't cure the problem there are other alternatives a doctor can recommend.

Insurance isn't needed for medical help; cash or a credit card will do the job. His doctor might give him some free samples of the above meds if he asks.

If this is an ongoing problem he really should see a doctor about it. It could the the symptom of a more serious problem.

It's also possible that the problem is caused by stress, worry, fatigue, alcohol or whatnot.

PE seems to be more difficult to overcome. I've heard of guys (or their partners) suffering from it for decades, even with professional help.

How old is your guy and how long have you been together?

I just have to ask, what is it you feel you have to tell him? He has ED and he is not aware that you are not satisfied?? Not very smart or sensetive is he.

Or maybe he's gay and doesn't like women.

Sorry OP, but I thought my husband had ED--after he left to pursue the gay lifestyle, I doubt he needed viagra anymore.
