I’ve done it and it’s gone well. Sometimes very well lol
Feel good. Have been working through issues for a while now. This course seems to be helping though.
This is definitely a difficult one for me to wrap my head around. As someone who is casually dating my first worry for opening up is their opinion of me and the feeling that I might be wasting their time due to my issues.
I think I can open this conversation up slowly I think little by little
Not comfortable at all especially with a new partner
I’m single and scared that I can’t hold a partner until I get this sorted out
I’ve had women in the past tell me its not got work because of my problem
Sort of cool
She was so understanding, it made me emotional. Just a beautiful person inside and out. I needn’t have been nervous at all.
Don’t want to.
depends
Ok
A little nervous, but mostly fine.
Yes I think it makes sense . Because I have been in situations where when it happens I have to explain it at that point anyway
It wasn’t something I looked forward to talking about. But I also wanted her to know that I had the issue and it certainly wasn’t anything she was doing wrong or that I wasn’t attracted to her.
Very challenged, despite having been married for over 20 years this still scares me. I’m a very private person and matters of feelings and sex etc were never discussed when growing up. Although our relationship is strong and solid I have never been able to discuss more intimate things with her. ED has been a problem from the beginning but we have managed to have 2 kids, I think the fact that it has taken so long for me to seek help is making it even harder to open up to her about it…
Uncomfortable
It’s easy to do
Good
I don’t have a problem, especially with a guy I particularly like. I like using I statements as a way to let them know it isn’t about them. It can even be a fun challenge, if you let it.
Somewhat comfortable
I have been dealing with ED issues for over 8 months at this point with a “new” partner … it was awkward and I think she blamed herself at first, but things got to the point where we could be intimate easily, but whenever the condom came out … still having issues there. We had sex once last week for the first time, and it didn’t last long. It’s a long journey.
But, I suppose the point is that the communication has gotten us to this point. There is a part of me that is impatient to get back to “normal”, but I don’t think I’d be at this point with my current partner without the communication aspect, and Mojo is right on the money about “owning” your issue.
