The Soft Life
Midway through intercourse, he goes limp. Does this mean he’s impotent? What can I do?
Answer:
Happily, your boyfriend isn’t truly impotent, because he can get an erection. But there is a whole host of possible reasons his hard on is vanishing faster than you can say “Mister Softee.” A likely cause of his difficulty? Ask yourself if he’s been knocking back a few too many beers before the two of you hook up. Alcohol and many kinds of recreational drugs can impede erectile function.
Second possibility: Is he worried about something that might be affecting his enjoyment or concentration? Maybe he’s concerned about getting you pregnant or contracting an STD (use condoms). Perhaps he’s had trouble at work or deep money concerns.
Chances are good that talking with him will help solve the problem. Approach the subject kindly and gently: If you think you ‘re bothered by the whole thing—well, I guarantee you, your upset is like a Chihuahua compared with his Rottweiler of worry.
