My partner, who is in his 50s, has started taking medication to regulate his high blood pressure, which has the expected side effect for him of problems maintaining erections, or not being as hard. I appreciate that this is a huge knock to his self esteem and am, hopefully, managing to be supportive, take things very slowly and gently, and not put any pressure on him at all to perform. He has spoken to his GP who may change the medication in a couple of months, depending on how his blood pressure is reacting.
I know this sounds very selfish, and I wouldn't tell him, but I am also pretty devastated. We've only known each other 4 years, have the most wonderful relationship we both say we've ever had and, having kick started a sex life again after years of abstinence, the thought that it may now be over and I'll not experience PIV sex again makes me desperately sad. Anyone else managed to get through this together?
