Erectile dysfunction can create problems within a relationship. It often leads to physical and physiological issues, but it doesn’t have to destroy the bond you have. Here are three tips that women can use when dating a man with ED:
Don’t blame each other
Women frequently place blame on themselves for their man’s inability to get or maintain an erection. Society has a way of making women question their appearance, resulting in self-blame.
This is not helpful in addressing the elephant in the room. Your anxiety and hurt is real, but it’s important to understand that your man is likely blaming himself for the problem too.
Try not to point fingers.
Avoid putting pressure on him
Your man comes home and you’re in your sexiest lingerie, every man’s dream right? Not necessarily. Men don’t deal with ED because they’re not turned on, there’s more to it than that.
While your efforts of spicing up your sex life aren’t unwarranted, it could make him feel pressured to perform.
For a little while, let him take the lead. When he’s ready, he’ll let you know.
Communication is key
Experts say that the best way to begin conversations about ED is to address the issue outside of the bedroom.
Let him know that you are aware of the health matters related to ED. Making it known that ED is a physical medical condition will lead to more open dialogue, rather than painting the problem as a sexual one.
Caring about his ED is important because if you shut down it can send a message that you no longer have the same feelings you once had for him.
Remember, a strong relationship is built on more than just sex, so don’t let ED stop you from having a committed, healthy relationship.
