How can I help support my boyfriend and rebuild his confidence?

Question - (24 June 2010) 2 Answers - (Newest, 24 June 2010)
A female Canada age 30-35, anonymous writes:

Alright so my boyfriend(23) and I(20) have been together for a while and love each other very much. We have been having sexual intercourse but have been having issues..he can't seem to keep his erection. His doctor has said that it may be a reaction to his medication(which he cannot stop taking or change).

He is constantly apologizing for something that is out of his control and I most definitely dont hold it against him. Ive told him its ok but I dont think he really believes me. I know this is really bothering him but I dont know how to make him understand that it really is ok- and it doesn't make him any less of a man(contrary to his beliefs)...

So how do I get it in his head that this isn't as big of a deal as he thinks it is? and how do I pacify his male ego in the process?

Kama agony auntThat would be rough for any young man. You sound smart. You may not be able to pacify the ego completely, but to my ears, you're doing a pretty damn good job already if you are constantly saying the things you say you are. I commend you! Continue on the way you are! Show him even more strongly you are being true! What a lucky guy :)

olderthandirt agony auntHere's a thought; my buddy had prostate surgery some years ago and was therby rebdered impident. He and his wife of many years webt through the same sort of issues regarding intercourse. Then they dicovered that she actuslly was better satisfied by oral sex than by "conventionl" means they agreed to give it a try for a month or two. Now they are quite satisfied(she more than he) aND his ego remains intact. You see our function (sexually speaking) is mainly to provide satisfaction and joy to our mates.
