Living with Erectile Dysfunction

Hi! One night I decided to just go for it. That’s right, I made the first move on my new boyfriend. I visited his home (invited of course) one afternoon. We talked for a bit and watched a little t.v., then I excused myself to use his restroom. I quickly freshened up and put on a sexy little outfit, compliments of Victoria’s Secret. I came out, dimmed the lights and began the show. To spare you the details, one thing led to another.

Then we went to switch positions and he screamed in pain claiming he got a “charlie horse”. So his erection went away but then came back after a minute or two. But then I realized throughout the night he kept going soft on me. It really bothered me, especially the day after. I kept thinking, “Did I do something wrong? Do I really suck but I just think that I’m good?”. I’m 24, young, vibrant, and I take good care of my body so I couldn’t understand why he couldn’t keep an erection. He said that, “This has happend before and that it wasn’t me”.

Does him being 40 have anything to do with it? Maybe he’s just embarrassed to tell me. I don’t know what to think, I’ve never encountered this type of situation before. It really made me feel inadequate, but is it really him? Thanks to other peoples stories I don’t feel so alienated. That night really put a dent in my self esteem but after coming in contact with this website, I don’t feel as bad. Oh, and by the way, I still like him. He’s really nice and maybe we can work with this. But it really can be frustrating.

Thanks for listening!
