Troubles Getting Hard

[Alex63]

My boyfriend is 47 and has troubled getting hard. We have been together 3 months and we care deeply for each other and he is committed to me in our relationship. The foreplay between us and the way he pleases me is incredible but doesn't get him hard at all. He's been checked out by his Dr and testerone and other items are normal. He is healthy, good weight, doesn't over indulge in alcohol but he is recently separated from his wife of 23 yrs and it has only been 8 months that they have been apart. Dr. gave him Viagara and it worked once , once he got hard without it, but when we try to be spontaneous he rarely can get hard which makes spontaneous love making out of the question. He wants very much to make love to me and tells me I excite him incredibly but it still doesn't get him hard. I have been single much longer and I enjoy sex very much and want this in my new relationship with him.
Could he have bad blood flow to his penis? Is it just emotional stress after being with the same woman for 23 yrs? Might he have a low sex drive? Do we just need more time together for him to be comfortable with both of us?
Can you offer any further solutions as we are both getting frustrated over this. He says how can I be so happy and in love with such a great woman yet can't get hard with her.

HELP!!

I've Had Problems Getting Hard Sometimes And I'm 18! I've Notised Every Time They Have Happened I Was Wasn't Emotionally Ready Cuz We Had Just Got In A Really Big Fight Or My Depresstion Was Back. So Don't Feel Bad, He Probably Is Still Working Though The Seperation. Just Give Him Time To Work Though It. When He Is Ready To Move On Subconsciously The Rest Of Him Should Work Just Fine.

It's only 8 months after a 23 year marriage? Loss of a long-term spouse is a significant life stressor. There is a process a person must go through before they are emotionally fully ready for a new relationship. This often takes a year or more. As much as he feels in love with you, and is happy with you, on a  subconscious level he still has to work through the change. And the subconscious has a direct link to the penis :) I hope you can wait patiently as he works through this process. When his subconscious is ready to move on, the physical should work just fine.
