I'm hurt my boyfriend doesn't seem to care that I can't get an erection

Question - (27 June 2007) 3 Answers - (Newest, 27 June 2007)
A male Australia age 36-40, anonymous writes:

I recently started taking medication to halt the loss of hair on my head and prevent me from going bald. I ended up suffering just about all possible side effects, which included decrease in sex drive and inability to get an erection. I told my boyfriend and he didn't seem to care!!!

Our sex life has been a sad story for a while now because he's not been interested, but this hurt a lot. He said if I didn't want to lose my hair than that's the way it would be. I got the very strong impresion that if I never got an erection again that he wouldn't be bothered. I asked him that straight away on the spot but he didn't really answer.

What am I supposed to make of that!? It worries me now that he wouldn't care if we never had sex again. I don't know what to do or say.

From a wounded man.

flower girl agony auntYou think he would not be bothered if you never had an erection again, but it bothers you that he may be thinking that way.

Your in a relationship so you should talk to him and tell him how it comes accross to you, what he has or has not said about the whole issue.

Just because you are trying to look after your appearance it does not mean you should be penalised for it.

You are young and if he can not come up with a good reason for his lack of support, then you need to consider if he is the right person for you.

Take care.xx.

Artemesian agony auntHi! Just want to say first nice to see another aussie on here : )

His reaction to your problem does sound odd, but it does make me question maybe he has some issues going on? If he doesn't seem to mind you not wanting/being able to have sex then is something going on with his sex drive? Maybe it is stress, maybe other things? It is hard to say as obviously we only know what you have said, but it does sound like you need to sit down and have a loving and close talk about whats going on in both of your lives at the moment and your emotions.

And I am sure he does care about you and your sex life!

Good luck and I hope the hair loss treatment works! : )

Lovebunny agony auntwill,I would love to help you . A decreased sex dive can make relationships harder,but if you and him really care about each other may be you and him can work it out. since he doesn't care about ur problem then he either doesn't have a problem or much of a problem with it or he is no longer attracted to you and might possiably cheat on you.Theres not much i can really say,sorry.

P.s I'm a female.

I wish you the best of luck. I just wants you to know that i thinks gays,lesbians and bisexuals are cool .
