HELP FOR PARTNERS OF MEN WITH ED

I consider the interpersonal dynamics in his relationship with sexual partners (and even non-sexual partners/friends/coworkers etc) of high importance to a man with E.D.

Primary importance of course is the actual erectile function. That is the primary effect of E.D. But the secondary or follow-on effects to the primary can be worse that the primary (or may mitigate the primary into irrelevance).

Secondary to that is the effect E.D. has on a man's self-image (and his efforts to mitigate or adjust to that effect).

Tied for second place is how the sexual partner(s) react to both a man's E.D. (the physical) and his inner responses (the emotional and psychological) to E.D. (e.g. if a man withdraws from intimacy, emotional or physical, it inevitably affects his partner)

How many marriages have failed because of the secondary effects of E.D.? Who has even counted?


I stumbled across this web site which IMO would be helpful to both men and their sexual partners/wives in understanding how E.D. affects the dynamics of their relationships
