SEXUAL RECOVERY
Although knowing the cause helps, you can still expect some bumps on the road to sexual recovery; after all, you still have needs of your own.
For example, Annie and Phil had been married for about 15 years when he started to have erection problems. Annie was sure that Phil’s diminished response was linked to a blood pressure medicine he was taking, but knowing that fact didn’t solve the problem or satisfy her sexual needs. Annie recalls: “It was very frustrating for me. I was getting sick, I was plagued with headaches. I didn’t blame myself, because we always had a good relationship, but I felt depressed, like someone had taken something away from me. I’ve heard of people getting divorced because of sexual problems, but we didn’t desert each other.” Annie, a woman of 46, didn’t let her depression immobilize her. Instead, she took an active role. She had him try the stamp test. She also looked in the telephone book for the number of a local support group, and encouraged her husband to contact them. Her efforts eventually paid off, and Annie and Phil are happy with the results. Other couples don’t find a solution so easily.
