How can I fix our sex life?

There are things you can do to relieve sexual frustration other than having sex! Toys, oral sex, etc. I don’t think leaving for something that’s out of his control is a fair decision but if he’s unwilling to help meet your needs in other ways that might be a different story.

Yes. You absolutely shoukd leave him.
Hopefully his next wife is more concerned with him and his health issues.

Imagine the shoe was on the other foot, you had issues becoming aroused and the feeling of shame and guilt that comes with that when you are aware you are not satisfying your partner and feeling helpless. And then imagine your partner sitting there thinking about leaving you over it.

No mam , sex isn’t everything… sometimes when we focus on one thing we miss every other opportunity … watch a good movie together and snuggle , go for a nice ride and hold hands , love is more then sex suga , maybe he needs to see the dr and you need to chill , if you love him then it will all work out , I’m sure him knowing his parts aren’t working rite makes it worse , he knows your disappointed to … if all these things don’t seem like an option then you will have your answer, good luck

Definitely see a dr get the problem figured out! Obviously if he doesn’t want to fix the issue then there’s more there but I’d def start there!

I agree with everyone on here telling her she’s horrible because she took vows. In addition if he is hard and wants you to jump on then I suggest you should if your goal is sex and to fix the problem, because last time I checked, having sex takes two people, so you have to do things to make a good sex life happen too.

There are so many choices out there to cure impotence, especially for someone his age.

Honey, I don’t know if anyone told you but sex is not only about intercourse. Buy some great toys and invite your husband to the “party.”

Have fun and be happy in your marriage.

Sounds like he has low testosterone. He needs a doctors help.

He should be seeing a Dr. for that

So when women have the “dry spell “ and go thru menopause its ok for the man to leave ? I’ve heard some at menopausal age and while going thru it wont have sex for weeks , months even 5 plus years .

Do you leave him over sex?!?! NO, but leave him because HE deserves better than that! :woman_facepalming::woman_facepalming::woman_facepalming::woman_facepalming:

Uhm if you’re pressed about it enough to be sexually frustrated , wouldn’t you want to jump on it when it’s working? Maybe there’s other issues of attraction? Or maybe age? I mean it sounds like you’re unhappy with the marriage all together if your needs aren’t being met and you’re ready to leave. Has he seen a dr about it at all or flat out refusing?

Probably an excellent idea if you left. It would give him a chance to find somebody that could give him a reason to stay hard. It’s really hard to get sexually turned on by a harpy.

Apparently men don’t like going to the doctor about that I guess lol, I’m in the same boat, pretty much no sex life and would really like that back again

Sex can ruin things… it’s up to you if you let it. Without sexually explicit advice try seeing a doctor first…counseling next…

I don’t think I want you for a wife did you marry him just for sex or did you marry him cuz you cared about him at least give it a chance

Been in this situations for years. It wears on your self esteem. Eventually you become uninterested in the sex. Feel unsexy :thinking: why he can’t be attractive to u. If he doesn’t get help or want to help it ain’t gonna work

Umm age is definitely an issue. It’s very common for men his age to be suffering from Ed. So, he can go to the dr and get some pills.

Would you want him to leave you for something like this? You need sex so bad that you’ll leave your husband for it? Let him know it’s important to you and make sure he is finding ways to satisfy you, but I think that’s a shitty reason to leave someone.

He has a medical issue that needs addressing. High blood pressure, low testosterone or diabetes. Besides wait 7 years when you hit menopause you won’t want sex at all…:rofl::rofl::rofl:

He may have ED, if ur that quick to leave him then ur not committed or in love with him in the 1st place.

Oh good gracious, ladies. Y’all need to knock it tf off. Sex is literally human nature. Being frustrated with sex is totally normal. The body wants what it wants.

To the OP-
Think about what you really want out of your marriage. Is it really just the sex or is it something deeper? Have a serious conversation with yourself and then have a serious conversation with your husband. Have an open Convo about sex. About what you like and expect and what he likes and expects in the bedroom and just as a couple/team. With sex comes passion and affection. It is totally important in any relationship. And talk to him about getting a check up. A soft c o c k can be a hard problem and health concern. Better to get it checked and taken care of than it lead to a more serious issue. I hope this helps and good luck, lovely!

They make toys ya know :sweat_smile::woman_facepalming: he needs to ser a doctor. Maybe have a sit down convo with him and ask him to see a doctor for this problem. It’s nothing to be ashamed about. But the fact you want to leave him just because of that :woman_shrugging: so much for in sickness and in health.

No you love him you bare the good with the bad does he have heart trouble is it his medication. Sex IS NOT EVERYTHING get a vibrator just think how he feels not being able to get an erection to please ur selfish self

I was a urology RN. ALL men can have erection issues- trouble getting & or staying erect. There are treatments that can help. This is not about YOU but is embarrassing :see_no_evil: for men. Encourage him to schedule an appointment with a Urologist!!!

They make dildos or you have hands so you can perfectly well take care of your sexual frustration. If it’s working then why not take advantage and jump on it instead of bitching that it don’t work. There is alot of things that can be causing his penis not to get hard or staying hard. You should leave because a relationship isn’t always about sex and if you want to leave him over not being able to keep or get hard that’s kinda messed up. Did you marry him for his penis or did you love him?

I mean-when he is ready-take advantage. I’m always ready though & realize every woman isn’t me.
Would you be wrong for leave? Yes, you need to talk to him and explain your feelings and offer to help him find help-he is more than likely embarrassed.

Several things affect men that way including but not limited to: hormonal imbalances, heart disease, diabetes, medications, depression, stress, anxiety, high or low blood pressure.

Marriage isn’t only about sex but just because he’s impotent doesn’t mean there should be no intimacy.
He needs to be seeing his Dr . Could be something easily sorted and there are meds/injections that can help.
In the meantime…be patient, buy yourself some toys and take advantage when he’s able…not a reason to leave imo

At that age men start having trouble getting it up.

But if you really love him you wouldn’t leave cuz if sex

40’s is when our bodies start shutting down. Gets harder & harder for men to get aroused. For women this starts just after meno begins. Though your sexual arousal is hightened for about a decade prior. Then one day you wake up and find, yours is dead too! :frowning: Another commenter mentioned that this was the “for better or worse” part of your marriage vows. She’s not wrong <3

Age doesn’t mean anything. He could have a medical condition that’s causing this like low testosterone low sex drive, or ED. I suggest talking to him about making an appointment to get checked out.

Looooord. It’s opposite in my marriage. I’m the one who has no drive. And thankfully my husband isn’t a a*s and thinks about leaving over s3x

Age can most definitely be an issue my bf is only 47 and we haven’t had sex In almost 2 years… his Testosterone levels are rock bottom, the cream hasn’t worked,waiting on an appointment with an endocrinologist in November, viagra won’t work if there isn’t any Testosterone to fuel it

Tell him to go get his Dr appointment and they will give him some meds to help you.

Yes, you would be wrong for leaving your marriage over a boner. There are ways to fix it. So take those steps first.

You should probably leave him so he can find someone worthy of compassion. Maybe he is mentally unfit currently and you needing sex is taxing his health. Leave him so he can find someone worthy of his love.

I was in that position. He was having a affair…sorry just saying

Could be medical… could be lack of confidence. As a man gets older his package tends to shrink… confidence crushing for a man. Zinc helps with testosterone levels. Sex is important in a relationship… but not the most important thing. If you truly love him… my advice would be to get some toys for times where he isn’t performing up to par… and when he is able to perform… try to build his confidence. In the meantime, have him see a doctor. Have him be as honest as possible with the doctor. May be something as simple as a vitamin deficiency. Good luck my dear. And if you love him be patient with him. I’m sure it’s harder on him than it is on you

Sounds more like a medical problem. Men don’t want to admit there is a problem. Let him know how much you love him and that this is a problem for both of you. He needs your honesty and your support.

He may need testosterone shots. Have him see a urologist. Also viagra helps.

In sickness or health… go get a lady toy and please yourself. Good grief, pull your head outta your ass while your at it. Probably why you can’t be pleased. :joy:

Leave him over that? No not fair. When he is ready he will agree to treatment but in the meantime get a vibrater girl! He is probably so embarrassed. Support him don’t leave him. :kiss::lipstick:

You know those vows you said out loud on your wedding day? For better or worse. He hasn’t cheated or hurt you, his penis just isn’t working like it did in his 20s :melting_face::roll_eyes: go to a doctor with him. Would you like it if he left you if you weren’t in the mood? Bizzar.

If it’s that big of a problem, have him see your family Dr. There might be a physical problem that’s not his fault. Look at it from his perspective … how would you like to be the one who’s body isn’t cooperating?

If it’s not physical, then counseling might be the answer.

There are also sexual aid “toys” that can be used to help with your frustration.

Work on the problem together! Good luck

What happened to in good times and in bad in sickness in health. I think you are being hasty giving up. Try helping him through this. Get him to see a urologist to find out treatment. This is very common in men his age.

If he can get an erection and ejaculate alone- He needs to stop watching porn. Then he needs to make sure he isn’t edging when with you or when masturbating. Lastly when he masturbates, he should use a lighter grip and not ejaculate a few times then see if he can ejaculate.with a lighter touch (more close to being inside the vaginally chamber) so he can learn to maintain and election and ejaculate with you.

He may have a prostate issue that needs addressed. Instead of getting mad, please encourage him to get referred to a urologist to see if there’s an underlying cause.

He needs to talk to his doctor. Let them run some test on him. And he definitely needs to have he testosterone checked. It’s more common then you realize men his age having low testosterone. Meds could fix him right up and have you all back to having sex like teenagers again.

You should stick with him for better for worse. Get him reffered to a urologist to see if there’s an underlying cause.

That’s a bit sad…
What if it was the other way around and it was you that had possibly a medical issue preventing you from having sex?
Would you be happy for him to just leave?
I would talk to him about seeing a DR and finding out why he is having this problem.
Or maybe his libido is becoming lower with age and it is a very common thing.

Why do people think you need sex to be happy? Or think sex is important and needed?
Yeah sex is cool. But my boyfriend and I never have sex. There are other ways of intimacy.
Leaving him because of an issue like this is messed up and disrespectful.
God. You literally blasted HIS issues online to strangers. That’s HIS business and you have no right to do that.
He needs to leave you, because he deserves someone who respects his privacy.

Only you can figure it up

I think the way your thinking about this is actually making it worse… and definitely stopping you from getting past this… because that’s all this is, another thing you deal with amd get past in your marriage.
Firstly, understand that for most men this is a deeply sensitive matter and even talking about going to the doctor is enough to send them into a mental spiral so you would be best served to approach this very gently and supportively…think kid gloves.

2nd. I would perhaps bring this up very calmly and from a place of love and just tell him your struggling too! Don’t get mad though as that will get him offside and potentially make it worse so just gently tell him you love him and you miss making love with him! Ask him if it IS actually an issue for him and if it is, offer to tackle it together!
Be there for your husband! He’s very likely highly embarrassed by this and feels like less of a man and knows he’s letting down the marriage.
Lead with love and don’t forget he still needs to be nurtured at times.
