Yes but it was clear that I had an issue after 3 weeks they reacted bad until I had the information to let them know itās wasnāt there fault
Yes, itās come up in the pastā¦just with girlfriends. Somehow itās easy to talk about to girlfriends than guy friends, because it somehow feels like a sign of weakness to admit thereās an issue there.
I had a one night stand and could not perform mostly because the intimacy was not there. I had to explain to her, she thought she did something wrong
Kind of, my wife mainly. She was understanding because I told her it was not because of her.
Yes, I have told three sexual partners about my ED issues and have been fortunate all three have been understanding. It never has āruinedā a night once I was up front with them and typically passes after a while.
Yes. My partner has been extraordinarily empathetic and supportive. Sheās taking this on as our challenge. Not mine.
I told my girlfriend and she excepted it very well. She actually encouraged we try to work through the issues without the use of pills.
Just my doctor
My wife and I have been going through this for 6 years. I found out I had a physical problem with my foreskin at age 43 which had developed. I had that fixed but now have mental hang ups about the issues so working through it. She has suffered confidence issues as a result too and has gone off sex. Itās not easy but keep talking, and keep trying without pressure.
Yes ā I have spoke with my girlfriend about it. I was nervous and anxious, and she was supportive. However, I didnāt feel I had any tools at the time to properly address it and began taking ED medication. Now, I feel more confident in our communication and the steps Iāve been taking to address it in a more healthy way
Yes, a girl I was dating, and it didnāt go well. It left me feeling like she saw it as my problem and that she didnāt have a part in the solution. Very non-supportive. I stopped seeing her.
Yes, Iāve told other men who have had silimar issues, this was helpful. Iām 46 and have had ED issues since in and off I was 19-20 and it has affected our marriage over the years. I have also had to tell my wife about things I have done and wasnāt proud about, like watching porn secretly. We are repairing but I just canāt get over ED due to feeling so anxious. Iām going MOJO can help! Also seeing a marriage councillor and Iāve started seeing a Psychologist to help with the anxiety
Unfortunately, the few partners Iāve told didnāt have the reaction I was hoping for. Instead of being understanding and patient, their reaction only intensified the pressure that I had to get my erection problems sorted out because of their own sexual needs or because theyāve had bad experiences in the past with partners who couldnāt get erections and they donāt want to go through that again. So rather than help take away my anxiety or alleviate the pressure, their reaction just ratcheted the pressure up. Which of course just made the cycle continue. On the bright side, though, my most recent partnerās reaction is what prompted me to finally get more serious about resolving my issues and led me to discovering mojo. She and I didnāt work out in the end (not surprising given how unempathetic she was toward my vulnerability) but Iām grateful to have discovered this great resource and community. So I donāt regret telling her or my other partners about my erection challenges; even if they didnāt have the best reaction, it still helped me ease the pressure I was putting on myself. I just hope that one day I will meet a partner who will be more understanding and caring and wonāt have such high expectations in the bedroom.
Yes, my girlfriend and she was supportive of helping me get back my erections.
I have never shared this with anyone. Only 1 girl I have been with knows about this. I think the reason i could only share with her was because i was not as much emotionally attached and it knid of felt safe in a way that we have different worlds anything she knows wouldnāt really matter beacuse we stay in different countries
My partner, she reacted well and was comforting, saying that it didnāt matter to her.
