You’ve finally met someone that you really, truly click with. You share all the same interests. You sit for hours talking about anything and everything. You laugh at each other’s jokes. Things are going great. But you know that eventually you’re going to end up in the sheets, and you’d rather not have your partner find out then. No, you’ve decided to tell them ahead of time that you are afflicted with erectile dysfunction. It’s a delicate topic, but here are some tips to help you address it correctly.
Don’t spring it on them: You may find yourself dying to tell your partner about your ED, but you must pick the right time and place. Don’t blurt it out during dinner or while driving to a movie. Sit your partner down and carefully explain your problem to them.
Be open to questions: When your partner is told of your ED, they will more than likely have questions. Don’t shut them down when they attempt to gain more insight into your problem. Be open and welcoming to any and all questions they might have.
Get through it as a team: Explain to your partner that you’re taking medication for your ED, and that you don’t allow it to control your life. Tell your partner that you’ll need their support to help you to deal with this problem. If you approach this problem as a team, you’ll be able to overcome anything.
