What do you do when the husband medically can not have an erection.  In the years past I have been willing to have just foreplay  but, I end up sad and broken for him and for myself.   I know this area in our marriage is on one of the reason for our troubles.  Does anyone have any answers.

Sorry to hear your husband is having problems. I just have a few questions: 1) What do you mean by "medically can not have an erection"?? Specifically has he had an operation--like for prostate cancer for example-- which knocked off the nerves which make an erection happen?? Or is he on medications which are well known to "shoot you down" like beta-blockers or some of the prostate meds like Avodart. 2) How old is he and does he have vascular disease? Alternatively, has he had his hormones --especially testosterone-- checked?( Remember--testosterone receptors aren't just in the vasculature of the penis-- there are also tons of these receptors in the brain and spinal cord--and if the nerves don't work right--nothing else works right.) Get him to see his doctor. (Go with him and make SURE the doctor understands the nature and degree of the problem.) WORST CASE SCENARIO: if ALL else fails he can probably get an implantable penile prosthesis. (The patient "satisfaction surveys" on men who have had these is greater than 85% happy with their "function" -- and their partner's response to the surveys is about the same!! So take heart and be of ggod cheer!! The solution may be very simple or somewhat more complicated--- but with some professional help-- this problem is almost certainly fixable. God bless.
