I tried making love with my girlfriend for the first time last night, and I couldn’t perform. This doesn’t surprise me – I’ve been angry, irritable and impotent for over a year. My family and friends think I’m all doing well, but when the end of the day comes all I want to do is crawl into bed and ignore contact from the outside world.
She said it’s not a big deal, but it’s only a matter of time before she gets fed up with my inability to get an erection and leaves. I’m so filled with rage I can’t even articulate it. The only thing that pisses me off more than my impotence is the advice, “Seek a therapist and exercise more.” Spare me your dogshit, overly simplistic diagnosis that you ripped off of WebMD. Do you think I haven’t tried that? Honestly? I’m depressed, not ******* stupid…although I’d gladly swap my intelligence for some relief from the crushing, exhausting pain of my pointless existence. (If you’re going to comment on this to rip on me for being dramatic and emo, save yourself the trouble and get bent.)
I’m so sorry; I can’t imagine how angry you must be right now, though I went through a period of having zero sexual desire for almost a year (I’m female) and remember feeling completely useless to my partner. It’s different of course for us, as we have the ability to fake it, hence my inability to imagine what you’re going through.
I have no advice for you; just wanted to say I feel for you and am truly hopeful you can resolve this situation and be happy again.
Well then, arent you a ray of sunshine, you dont want ppl to “rip on you” well then guess what princess, get off your ass and do something about it, its all in your hands, pardon the pun.. but come on already, you dont want us to be negative, but you came here obviously to unleash how your feeling, if your car is broke ya fix it right… ya dont just keep driving it until it drops and is unrepairable, or your plumbing in your house, you’d fix it… SO FIX YOUR PROBLEM! and if your g/f loves you, TALK TO HER all us women arent cold hearted biotches ya know… some of us do have hearts! she may understand and give you some simpathy and maybe help you threw this… Just to tell ya something, I have a male friend, who broke his dingdong.. and yes you can break it, well, being the proud man that he thinks he is, he thought no big deal. ya well guess what, now he has a penis pump to get it up… so… you may think your life sucks cause ya cant get it up, nor do you sound like your willing to do something about it, this guy has a real broken **** and REALLY CANT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT!
if you dont want emo answers then stop being emo!
IMO, you have issues you don’t want to face.. take webMD’s advice and find a therapist. i just spent 17 years married to someone impotent, believe me, it’s no fun! my ex refused therapy and his problem never improved,, and if you drink, quit drinking!
What’s wrong that’s making you so mad? Is it just the impotence? Because that must have stemmed from something before hand, right? What happened before?
Those suggestions that you dismiss as trite are exactly what helped me. So, so worth getting out of the intellectual cloud.
