Hello, I've recently started seeing a new man. We are both mid 40's and everything is going really well, he's kind, considerate and treats me better than anyone I've ever dated before. We're both divorced (me 4 years, him 3 years) after 20 year marriages, and we've both dated other people since our said divorces. We both wanted to take things slowly so for the first 6 weeks we dated, walks and meals out etc twice a week, in this time he explained he has bipolar, diagnosed 15 years ago and on regular meds.
We started sleeping together about 2 weeks ago and things have been up and down in that area, no pun intended. We've managed to have PIV but it's not always successful. He can always climax through manual stimulation but only 2 times through PIV as he can't always maintain an erection. The sex is still always good, he's a considerate lover and I'm never left wanting, but part of me worries that this will get worse the older he gets? Or if it's his meds causing his problem? We are also using condoms so I don't know if that's an issue too, not that I'd be happy not using them because I wouldn't.
I really enjoy PIV sex and I don't know if I could live without it in a relationship. I guess I'm looking for other people's experiences in this situation? Thanks
