My partner of 5 years has ED because of recently diagnosed diabetes. 6 months ago, before this happened, we were having sex AT LEAST once a day, if not more. He was VERY interested in it, all the time. Now he shies away from sexual contact completely...I've tried to be supportive, to suggest we try other ways to satisfy each other...it seems like he's determined to be a monk. He even told me he doesn't really think about sex anymore. I'm convinced that he's forcing himself not to think of it, he's depressed, ect. because this happened so fast...we noticed the problem start one week, very mildly, the next week, that was it. POOF, just like that. He's not even interested in his "favorite" things anymore. I'm trying to be supportive, but I'm not a nun or a saint...I need SOMETHING here. It's not so much about sexual gratification as emotional satisfaction and intimacy...our relationship ha
