I'm a long term poster (penis beaker, Balonz, long name for Hugo...) but have name changed for this as I think some users know me in RL and this is very private.
As the title says, I am really worried that my normally healthy DH who is 40, has suddenly (as in fine one day, big problem the next) developed difficulty getting and sustaining an erection. We have been together for 23 years and this has never happened once in all that time (though I gather that it is quite common for men to have problems from time to time).
We are currently TTC, so it is a problem from that point of view, but I am more concerned that it is a symptom of an underlying health condition. He seems ok in himself and says he feels fine. He is a big bloke (ex rugby player) but not fat, does a very physical job and goes out running regularly. He drinks moderately and doesn't smoke. He says that the only other problem he's noticed recently is that his grip wasn't as strong as usual one day this week.
I am really worried for him, sad for us both if this is going to be an ongoing issue in our sex life and also concerned about TTC.
Does anyone have any experience of this, or medical expertise to offer? I have told him to make an appointment with the GP but fear that this won't be seen as urgent enough to get an appointment at the moment.
