Does ED (physical) effect sex drive?
My partner of 6 years, who I love unconditionally, and I have not had sex for almost 10 months. And he never seems to want to, despite me talking about it, making 'plans' (because you need to plan right?) for 'date nights' and me hopping about in expensive lingerie and trying to get him in the mood. Nothing.
He never seems to have any desire to have sex and doesn't seem fazed by the fact that we don't have sex anymore.
He is a fit and healthy 31 year old and I am a healthy 29 year old. He has had ED before I met him and I have always said that it doesn't matter and have been supportive and sensitive.
I really miss the intimacy and convection that sex brings. And I miss sex! He says that he still finds me beautiful (and I work hard to stay slim and pretty), but it's really starting to knock at my confidence, and I worry what it will mean in the long term.
So does the ED mean that he doesn't feel turned on, because he can't get an erection without pills? Or is he just someone with a very low sex drive?
Any advice or help super appreciated!

ED can most certainly cause a loss is sexual appetite. Apprehension about performance can cause more stress then a guy can handle sometimes. He could be more than turned on emotionally, but physically being unable to be perform at 100% can outweigh that.
If there's porn involved, which I don't think is as big a suspect as some, it could be because he's able to provide an amount and type of stimulation to himself that doesn't involve the difficult mental aspects that his ED could be bringing about.

I suspect, he might be watching porno.It reduces sexual drive.Try to find out whether he is watching porno. He can stop watching porno and do some of the following exercises which can help him to increase his sexual drive. Googe the followint.
male deer exercise, kegel exercise, prostate massage, specially anal peripheral prostate massage. This massage will work for pleasure as well as treatment for ED.He has to be cheerful.
