Hi, Lynne. I really appreciate your comment and question. As someone who has struggled with ED all my life, I admire your interest and love of your partner. I have another article (about oral sex) coming out where I go over the emotional experience of men.

For most of us, any kind of sex is both physically pleasurable and emotionally nourishing.

We absolutely feel nurtured, masculine, respected, and connected to our partners during sexual acts (even with ED).

Speaking from experience, I can say that we LOVE when our partners perform sexual acts despite how well our penis is working at the moment.

I hope this helps! I'll probably write something more ED specific soon.

Cheers,

Christopher
