Could this be erectile dysfunction?

I have realised my knowledge of male body is very limited and started to wonder if DH has erectile dysfunction or just generally lacks drive in life to achieve goals/would not inconvenience himself. We have been 'trying' for baby number two for few months but DH is either too ill, too tired or not in the mood. The closest we got to fertile window was twice 4 days before ovulation. I am also not supposed to tell him which is the 'good day' as that's a huge turn off for him. Things that concern me:

  • he cannot have sex two days in a row - he says he is not a machine
  • when tired he would struggle to finish and just give up
  • often struggles to maintain erection
  • when tired sometimes he would just tell me to stop when I initiate
  • we tried ovulation induction but he refused to have sex on the days ordered by the fertility doctor

I am forty and really panicking the time is running out but he is very casual about it and also doesn't think there is anything wrong with him but I suspect he might have erectile dysfunction he chose to ignore. He assured me he wants another child.

Regardless of having another child so you want to stay with a man that has no interest in sex. You are only 40 ! Sex will be non existent by 50 Have a serious think
