How Do You Tell Your Partner You're Struggling with Erectile Dysfunction?
from Sex in Real Life with Stacey Herrera · host Stacey Herrera
This is Part 3 of a 6-part series on erectile dysfunction. This week: the conversation. Less than 60% of men experiencing ED talk about it with their partners. That means more than half are keeping it to themselves—and silence creates distance. In this episode, Stacey shares two contrasting stories: one where pretending ruined the experience, and one where honesty created intimacy from the start. Then she breaks down how to actually have the conversation. In this episode: When and where to talk about ED (hint: not right after it happens) What to say and what not to say Expanding your definition of sex Talking about it won't fix the ED, but it takes the pressure off. But once you name it, you liberate yourself. Next week: Part 4. The partner experience and the questions they're secretly Googling.
