Whatever your relationship status, how do you feel about discussing your erection issues with a partner?

Connection and building and developing it would be key to share with someone. Building that ground so when a trust is there provides a wider space for such conversations to happen. We are all human and have challenges and might allow the other person to share their challenges and leading to understanding and respecting each other more.

Pretty ok with it

Surprised that they still want me.

Right now I’m single, but I plan on bringing it up with future partners.

It freaks me out. I have never felt more comfortable by giving someone more information about myself. It feels like giving them ammunition to use against me. I do want to try it though with my partner and see how he responds. I’m just afraid and feel unsafe just thinking about it.

I haven’t ever felt more comfortable by giving someone personal information about myself that I view as a weakness. It feels like giving ammution to someone to use against you. I am worried about directly talking about it with my partner even though he has been supportive. I will try but feel unsafe just thinking about it.

Partner is not interested :frowning:

I’m sure just yet

I told her upfront about it. Hiding it makes it worse and more in my head. I had girlfriends before who cheated on me because of my issues and didn’t want to help and resolve it together. It hurts and worsens the situation but on the other hand I learned this way if she really cares for me or not. Keep on going up folks and be upfront about it. It is always beneficial to be upfront

I wouldn’t even begin to know where to start. Especially dating around. That’s not a topic people are ready for

Tricky to get into but OK once we started

The thought of it, when I’m single and only been dealing with this for a year, is a little terrifying tbh.

I’d rather it wasn’t an issue but my wife has always been really supportive

I feel a bit self conscious at first. But knowing it is the right path to take. Gives me the confidence to start the convo.
All girls so far have been very understanding.

With my current partner it seems to be ok though at first it was anxiety inducing but once I got it off my chest if felt better. I think the difficult part in my mind may be speaking on this with a new partner maybe bc I don’t know them well enough or may fear their reaction. But I do see how taking ownership can avoid major issues if something happens in the future.

I have two partners. One truly understands and supports me and she and I are on the same wavelength in so many ways. She is very positive about her own sexiness and very communicative, and makes it clear that she loves sharing pleasure with me and loves my penis in all its states. While my ED does manifest with her because of longstanding anxiety about my adequacy that was fostered by a long ago former partner, it’s fleeting and doesn’t get in the way of our expansive approach to sex.

My other partner would like to support me, I think, but she doesn’t really understand how to be tender and sensual in the ways I enjoy. I think her previous partners were all very self-absorbed and she learned to get pleasure somewhat independently of her partner - and certainly is not proactive with helping me feel wanted or desirable. She is unhappy and puzzled about my ED. I’ve talked to her about it and the connection between my ED and performance anxiety and my need to feel a shared sensual connection in order to reach / maintain arousal. She has indicated that she understands but does not seem to be eager to help build that shared connection. I appreciate the skills I’m learning through Mojo though I’m not sure to do when a partner doesn’t communicate back.

Already done so. Felt miles better.

Sure

I’ve been open and honest about it. I found my partner to be very supportive.

We have discussed it and she is supportive at times but she also gets frustrated when it doesn’t work. When we are getting intimate the thought of letting her down again leads to the anxiety and performance issue
