Ejaculatory Dusfunction in Healthy Male
by Gracie__0, Sep 09, 1998 12:00AM
My partner is 40 years old, and had a testicle removed at the age of 18 due to a benign growth. He tells me that he's had difficulty achieving orgasm through intercourse his whole adult life, except in cases where there was no emotional component to the sex (i.e. a prostitute). We've been dating for 5 months and are now engaged. He has yet to ejaculate during intercourse. What treatment is most appropriate, and how would you recommend that a couple who is trying to have children deal with this?

Dear Gracie,
Your partner’s problems lie in the emotional realm. I would recommend that you not proceed further (i.e., marriage) if children are truly important to you until your partner receives emotional help such that he resolves his personal issues. There may be more at stake than just the symptom that you describe.
Best of luck!
