Can a man with erectile dysfunction satisfy a woman? - #60510
I am dealing with some really frustrating stuff lately. I mean, I have been noticing that I struggle with getting and maintaining an erection, like it happens so many times now that it's hard not to think about it. I didn’t even recognize that I could have erectile dysfunction until a buddy mentioned it, and I started Googling. What a rabbit hole, right? Anyway, I have been wondering — how do you even know if you suffer from erectile dysfunction for sure? Like, what’s the line between normal problems and actual ED? Sometimes, I feel totally fine during the day, but when it comes to the bedroom, boom, it feels like I’m trying to start a car that won’t turn over. It's kinda embarrassing to think about satisfying a woman when I can’t even satisfy myself, ya know? Then there’s this hypersensitivity thing, too. I read somewhere that emotional issues or stress can mess with things down there, but does that really mean I have ED? And if it's true, can it even be cured? I just want to feel normal again without worrying. How does this all connect? Any insights would help!
