Sexless marriage due to husbands ED

3 replies

My husband has struggled to maintain erections in sex ever single time during our entire marriage (8 years) and we’ve now not done it in almost a year. He also has zero sex drive and fertility issues (we’ve a child through IVF). People keep commenting how we may fall pregnant naturally as someone else they knew did and I just think it will actually not happen as we never have sex. Would it be an issue for you? He went on medication when we were TTC but we found out his results were so poor quite quickly on and so it was obvious we needed ivf regardless of the ED.
I don’t want to leave him, he’s my best friend, I love our family and life and he’s a great dad. But I have this feeling I’m missing out in my thirties and in for a sexless life.

Has he tried anything specifically for the ED? Seems like the main focus has been how his issue prevents having another child, but have you spoken about it more generally? Does he seem to want help to fix the problem?

Tongkat ali might help. It's a herbal remedy that boosts testosterone. Can order online or they sell it in supplement shops, herbal shops etc. Only take for 3 months then stop for 3 months. Then start it again. It's worth a go costs about £20 a bottle. Xxx

You're the only person who can decide whether this matters OP. Many - if not most - women couldn't live with this. And we are made up of a multitude of needs and desires, and we are all different.

You will get many replies saying you should leave him - and that is what I would do - but many people have very little sex - and that's okay, if that's okay.
