POTENCY PROBLEMS: HOW WOMEN REACT

Posted on Friday, March 27th, 2009 at 6:28 am

Women have many of the same fears as men. And a wife or lover may be afraid that by talking about the problem she’ll find out that she is the problem—that she’s doing something that turns him off. And she may fear finding out that her husband does fine with other women. She also may be afraid that his health is the problem; she may resist talking about the difficulty hoping it will “cure” itself, so she’ll know he is physically okay And some women want to protect their husband’s feelings Sensing their partner’s reluctance to talk, they avoid the topic They don’t want to, as one woman says, “make him feel an^ worse than he already does.”

Our research indicates that women react to erection problems in a wide variety of ways. In many cases we looked at, the way a woman responded appeared to be greatly influence by the way she and her husband normally communicated. The more reassurance and love that was available on both sides and the more both were involved in solving the problem, the more manageable the sexual difficulty was. When there was less communication there was more opportunity for hurt feelings, self-doubt, blame and anger to fester—and erupt.
