Hi everyone, well this is a bit personal but could really do with some advice...

Have been lucky enough to meet a really wonderful guy whilst I was still pregnant with my DS (now 3 months). He treats me like a princess (which makes a nice change from my manipulative, cheating ex) and is fabulous with my son...we've already talked about a future together etc & I really do love him.

BUT he's got a major problem erm "rising to the occasion" & it's really confusing me. We are a v affectionate couple, & he SEEMS to get turned on but nothing ever happens or if it does he can only keep it for a minute or two :s He says that when he & his ex split (they were together a very long time) they hadn't slept together in 2 years, that she used to turn him on then leave him horny every time, & now he can't get hard enough. But he's also told me that he's had a few 1 night stands since & been fine with those?

So is it just me? Is this going to be permanent? & what the heck can I do to help him through it???? Much as I adore him, I truly don't know if I can imagine a lifetime of no sex as I'm only in my mid twenties. Has anyone else been in this situation, or have any advice to offer??? Please help...my confidnce is getting low & I don't want to lose him over something ridiculous...

Whatever blokes may say about being a stallion etc, it can be difficult to "perform" with a new partner.

It's possible he may be having feelings of guilt about having sex with someone other than his ex.

Why doesn't he try Viagra? It may be enough to get him over this.

Oh - forgot to ask, are you still breast feeding and did this all start when you were pregnant? Some men have real issues with this.

Also sounds like his ex "trained" him into a particular pattern and you need to help him change that. It could be fun - there is plenty of help and advice on techniques for this sort of thing. The viagra may be a quick fix though.

I agree that you shouldn't end the relationship over this straight away - but he needs to show that he is trying to get over this. If he won't or it's the same in six months then you should reconsider.

There's a great tablet you can get over the internet, it's called Kamagra. You can get tablets or gels (get the gels). You just take them 15mins before and they work a treat.

Sounds to me like it's a pyschological thing and once he's done it a few times with the tablets he'll be ok.

As others have said, this sounds psychological to me - does he masturbate, and if so what happens then? (You don't need to answer here, but if he's OK with that it's not a physical thing). Kamagra and/or viagra may help him to get over this, so it's worth a try. It's almost certainly not permanent.
