I am a 60 year old woman, happily married in most ways, but hubby and I have not shared intimacy for several years. He is too proud to speak to his physician about his impotence, and says we had enough sex in our first 35 years of marriage to last a lifetime.
Hi bitsi!
Quite frankly, I've been struggling with erectile dysfunction for the past 10 years. It hasn't been fun. I've talked to two doctors about it--one says my testosterone level is too low, the other says it's normal. Since I get morning erections, apparenlty the problem isn't physical; it might be psychological, but I've yet to determine the cause. Whatever the problem, my physical libido seems extremely low even though my mental libido is still alive and kicking I've tried Viagra, and even though it give me a hard-on, it doesn't increase the sex drive. Like you, my wife enjoys sex and wishes we could do it more than what we're currently experiencing, and I try to accommodate her as much as i can. But it is frustrating not being able to enjoy ourselves like we did when we were first married (over 35 years ago--and we're both over 60). Hopefully, one of these days, we can find a solution. And, hopefully, your hubby can kick his pride and see the doctor.
