Thank you for this eye opening information. I appreciate you're older and have gone through this experience. As a woman, it is managing the emotions that occur as a result of ED, and not the ED itself, that is the most challenging. It can be done through open, direct, honest communication. My attitude has allowed for sexual satisfaction in both me and my partner. It's not easy. But it can be achieved. The bonding that comes as a result is highly satisfying.
