When He Can't Rise to the Occasion

It seems like the ads are everywhere. When you take public transportation, watch a sporting event on TV or visit the doctor, the advertisements for erectile dysfunction medication seem to pop out at you. While they depict men of a certain age, it's not uncommon for younger men to experience a problem in the bedroom. So as your man's partner, how should you handle his lack of stimulation? It depends on the situation and your partner. Does he lack the ability to gain an erection or just keep it? Consider the onset of the erection issue. If you're a new couple or having sex for the first time, then jitters might be getting the best of him. If you've been together awhile, think about underlying reasons why he can't seem to stand at attention. For example, stress can be a huge factor - if he's distracted by job stress, personal issues or anything else, then it may just take some nonsexual stress reduction to get things going again.
Your partner may want to consider how much sleep he's getting and the quality of his sleep. Being exhausted or fatigued does have an effect on getting and keeping an erection, and so does taking certain medications. However, if getting an erection or maintaining one is a chronic problem for your partner, then a trip to the doctor is in order just to be sure everything is all right. Unfortunately, young men are less inclined to seek a doctor's help and may resort to erectile dysfunction medication - even if it hasn't been prescribed. It's dangerous for younger men to take these drugs for myriad reasons, and erectile dysfunction can mask other more serious health conditions. Regardless, you shouldn't take the situation personally. After all, women don't become sexually stimulated every time. A little patience and understanding goes a long way when things don't go as planned.
