DEAR DEIDRE: EVEN though we are in our fifties my husband and I both want a good sex life – but he has erection problems.
Foreplay is no problem but his erection disappears as soon as he comes near me.

He has tried Viagra but it did not help.
He says he wants sex and thinks about it a lot but he just gives up.
I am a willing partner and I don’t want to lose the closeness we have.
But he will not see his doctor or talk to anyone about this.
He is 59 and I am 56.
Our love life is the one thing we have never had trouble with in the past.
DEIDRE SAYS: It can help if you stop making your sex life revolve around intercourse.
There is a lot of other sexual pleasure to be had and you might both feel happier if you concentrate on other ways of sharing pleasure and satisfaction.
Read my e-leaflet Great Sex At Any Age for ideas.
Your husband should see his GP for a health check.
