Hi, I'm new to this forum, but desperately need help. My boyfriend and I went away for our anniversary recently. During our trip, he informed me that he has been experiencing a great lack of sex drive, which we believe is medication related. This has been causing a great deal of stress on us both. Currently, we live 6 hours away from each other, and only get to be with each other about 2 weeks out of the month. So that adds an extra stress factor to this problem. I have experienced a wide range of emotions, but most importantly, I want to help him get through this. We are both in our thirties. This is a fairly new problem, and I'm not sure how to help him. I don't want to mention seeking medical attention just yet, because I don't want to seem on the selfish side, and want to let him know that our relationship is much more than just our sexual encounters. Any advice anyone has on how to deal with this, would be greatly appreciated.

This can be a very stressful, and I'm glad that you and your boyfriend are both open with each other about this issue. I will be passing your question along to our experts, but in the meantime, one of the best things you can do is keep communication open.
One of the things that my husband tried was testing his sexual arousal around various areas: videos, different body types, magazines -- he figured if he could get aroused by one of those, then we could either figure out what we needed to change in our sex life, or just accept that we didn't have the right chemistry.
Once he determined that NOTHING caused arousal for him, we knew it was really a medical problem.

My husband is embarrassed to see a physician about his erectile dysfunction. But I heard about a company called mdweblive.com where my husband is able to see the doctor over the internet for his condition in the privacy of his own home. Have you heard of this before? and do you think It would be good to recommend this to my partner. I'm worried he will get even more embarrassed....
