I don't want my sex life to be over at age 44, but my husband of 25 years seems to have given up sex. I am a nurse and have talked to my husband about this several times. He is having difficulty maintaining an erection during intercourse. Although he says he will see a doctor, he keeps putting it off, saying, "Let's try a little longer, things will get better." Now he very rarely touches me at all, but acts as if I am the one not interested. I do masturbate, but it just isn't the same for me. Any advice?

Since you are a nurse, and didn't mention any physical conditions or medication that he is taking, the odds are that his problems have mostly to do with growing older. Now he absolutely should see a doctor to make sure that nothing is wrong. The one thing that I would suggest is to try to make love in the morning. That's when the male sex hormone, testosterone, is at its highest level, and he'll be rested. Let me know if that helps.
