My boyfriend said he's impotent but then we successfully had sex; I'm so confused

Question - (19 June 2007) 2 Answers - (Newest, 20 June 2007)
A female New Zealand age 41-50, anonymous writes:

Hi all,

My boyfriend Roger and I have been dating 4 months this Friday. It took us forever for things to get physical. When I gave him oral (for the first time) the other night, I did it for ages and he didn't come. He eventually broke down and told me that he's been dealing with impotence for the past 6 years (he's 26 now). But then yesterday we had sex and everything was fine - he held up the erection and was able to come and everything.

I'm just confused I guess. I really don't understand impotence, so can any men help me out? What is it exactly? He thinks it's because of medication that he's on. Could that be it? Is it treatable? Is there anything I can do to help him? He was very embarrassed telling me about it and even said he'd understand if I dumped him, so I want to reassure him that everything's okay.

Frank B Kermit agony auntMaybe Roger was a virgin, and he told you that instead of telling you how nervous about sex he was. Once he saw that you were willing to stick around, he felt comfortable enough to do it.

flower girl agony auntThere are many different causes of impotence so here goes;

Temporary psychological factors like stress more long term factors due to anxiety and guilt originating in childhood and it may also be a symtom of depression.

Also other factors are things such as diabetes or a alcohol related disorder or drugs such as anti depressants.

Treatments are there and they vary to what is causing the impotence psychological is treated with either conselling or or sex therapy, physical problems come with so much more options so it might be an idea to source the reason for it first.
