The ED conversation

As a partner, it’s important to show support, get informed, choose the moment and have a conversation. Men suffering from ED are not alone.

Ways to start the conversation

  • I love you and I am here to help with whatever is on your mind. Do you want to talk about it?
  • We have a great relationship and I enjoy being with you, but things haven’t been the same between us.
  • I know sex may be hard to talk about, but we need to address the ED. There are treatment options available and I want to help.
  • There are a lot of couples that face this issue. I am here for you. We could talk to your doctor. What do you want to do?

There is hope!

Every man should be able to hear these words…

  • There are options for us.
  • We don’t have to live like this.
  • We don’t have to give up our sex life.
