As people age, there’s no suspicion that their sex lives turn along with their bodies. For some couples, that can mean complications in the bedroom.
Take, for case, a woman in her fifties whose spouse has erectile dysfunction. Though this hits their sex life, it can also bring over into the base of their relationship. In many situations involving women and ED, the man is embarrassed to talk about it or go for guidance and rather pulls away from his partner. She, in shift, feels denied, and the bond hurts. Erectile dysfunction is always a thing of the heart, but new analysis shows that more than fantasy is at stake.
The Difficulties of ED
ED can be challenging. Men who develop ED feel as terrible about themselves as I. They feel guilty that they no longer can be what I call a ‘sexual provider’ for their partners, which is one of the fundamental ways that men sense good about themselves in relationships.
Women and ED can be confused as well. Though many women are believed, they can also feel frustrated or even defeated physically and crave intimacy emotionally.

I felt that it was my fault. I’d put on weight and thought he didn’t fancy me anymore, and my self-confidence took an absolute nosedive. I wondered if it was a physical thing because his back was hurting, but at other times, I felt he didn’t trust me because he wasn’t talking to me. Our marriage was definitely in trouble.
Change the way you think about sex
There is an abundance of ways to be intimate together without having to have a firm erection. Concentrate on generating closeness rather than on entrance.
You can have many sexual acts that do not involve penetration, and you can achieve orgasm without penetration. So consider sex more broadly. Increase your sex script and have sex in a slightly different way. For example, having sex in a different room may be sufficient, or having sex in the morning instead of at night, because testosterone levels are highest at this time, which can also help.
