What should my partner know about erectile dysfunction?
Your partner should know that erectile dysfunction often affects relationships emotionally for both people involved, leading to feelings like anxiety, frustration, or distance if not addressed through talk. Open and kind communication helps couples face it together as a shared issue rather than blaming each other. Exploring other forms of closeness, like cuddling or shared activities, keeps emotional bonds strong while working on the problem.
Key points:
- Erectile dysfunction can cause emotional strain for both partners.
- Partners may feel unattractive, unloved, or suspicious without open talk.
- Causes include physical health issues, psychological factors, or certain medications.
- Honest discussions build understanding and teamwork.
