Lupus and ED?


my boyfriend of 1yr. has lupus and has had problems staying hard during intercourse. if i am giving oral or if he is masturbating he can stay hard and ***. but not if he is inside of me.

I know that some medications that are taken for lupus can uncommonly cause ED. any suggestions on how we can fix this without more medication. he takes a lot already and cant afford/doesnt want to be on anymore than needed.

only serious answers please, thank you.

I don't belive that your boyfriends ED is related to the medications that he's taking or to his Lupus. If this were the case he would have difficulty with an erection when masterbating or with oral sex. This seems to be much more of a psychological issue. It is important to realize that Lupus patients are under an immense amount of stress just dealing with this debilitating disease. Additionally he may be having arthritis pain in his joints caused by his Lupus and this pain could be exaggerated when he is engaged in intercourse. I would try to be very understanding and let him know that it's really ok that you're here for him. If his problems persist, I would suggest just talking with a doctor to find out what he thinks. Good luck to you both (make sure he's keeping on top of his Lupus)
