How to bring up the topic of ED with a partner

Seeing his physician is a great place to start. Last year I got a long overdue physical and my testosterone was way low. Getting that taken care of has made a significant difference. He's approaching that age where some men start having issues with their testosterone.

Does he take any kind of meds for depression or anxiety, specifically an SSRI? They are notorious erection-killers. I was on an SSRI and my physician switched my meds. In my case, it was because the prescription I was taking was exacerbating my symptoms. So she put on something else which was a non-SSRI.

A quick and simple device that really helps, is a cock ring. It essentially prevents the blood from leaving and maintains an erection. They have cock and ball rings as well. For the most part they are pretty cheap.

How much time do you spend on foreplay? As I've gotten older, foreplay is absolutely essential. It is often too overlooked by so many people, which is sad because it makes sex so much better. When my wife starts nibbling on my ear, holy Sh!t, it's all systems go!

Sex without foreplay is akin to trying to make a cake without preheating the oven.

Well I apologize if I "shared" too much, but these are the things that have made a night and day difference for me. Anyways I wish you the best of luck.
