Suggest Treatment For Erectile Dysfunction
Question: My partner can climax fairly easily by hand or mouth - lots of semen - but cannot get an erection. Viagra has not done anything for him. Tried different times - always stimulated penis and allover affection of his body. He excites easily but he wants to please me and is really frustrated and embarrassed.. He is 74 but in very good health and shape. I hate him calling himself only half a man - sometimes in tears. Is there anything we can try? We have the sex toys but not what we want.
