And if he Won't Listen: Some men are stubborn and sensitive. Once the topic is raised, no matter how delicately, they simply close it down or walk off. In such situations it can be difficult to know what to do, but one tip is to accept the fact that you won't talk about it now but mention you need to talk some time soon. This is the point where you can say, ‘because I'm a bit worried you might have something like diabetes, or heart problems.' It may be brushed off, but you've sewn a seed for him to start thinking about.
And When he Asks: It may take seconds or days but he may well ask why you think he might have diabetes or heart problems. This means you've struck a chord. It can be lot easier for men to consider their ED as a sign of something else than an issue in its own right. In many cases this is actually quite accurate, so all you've done is steer the conversation towards this point.
And When he Won't see the Doctor: You need to point out that it's only the doctor who can check the symptoms that might be causing his ED. Chances are the doctor won't ask him to drop his pants and will most likely be far more interested in talking to him, taking his blood pressure and maybe taking a blood sample for analysis.
And Finally: This may just be the start of the process. These tips just provide a few general ideas, some of which need to be tailored to your own situation. Even though I've labored the point about physical problems as a cause of ED, it remains the case that emotional issues such as stress and depression can have a profoundly negative effect on intimacy and relationships. Whatever the cause, ED needs to be treated.
