My boyfriend and his erection
I'm a college student dating a guy 5 years older than me, and were crazy about each other. Sometimes when we have intercourse he can keep his penis erect. All the other times he cannot. I know he thinks im attractive but I keep beating myself up over this issue in bed, thinking its all my fault. Is there anything I can do to help him over come his penis shy? Maybe something I could say to him? Or do you think he should go and see a doctor ? thanks
hey thanks for your reply. i asked him and he told me i was the only one it happened with. were going to see a doctor this week just to make sure
Hi,
Have you asked him if he's had this problem with other sexual partners besides yourself? If not, I'd gently broach the subject with him first and ask him. Then depending on his answer I'd go from there. If it's been a problem in the past, then I'd ask him if he has certain things that really turn him on that he has not shared with you yet. If not, and he just has real problems keeping himself erect, then ask him if he'd be willing to see a doctor about the problem. But please, until you communicate with him about the problem, I wouldn't beat yourself up over it. Good luck to you :)
