Make your treatment a part of foreplay.
The awkwardness of some treatments may seem to reduce the spontaneity of intercourse. When the mood arises, do not look at your treatment as an interruption. Work with your partner to incorporate treatment into the exciting moments before intercourse.
Ease back into it at first.
This is important for you and your partner, especially if you have not had intercourse in a long time. Your partner may feel pain or discomfort if she has not had intercourse in a long time. You may need to ask your doctor or nurse about lubricants. It may take time for a couple to rebuild their sex life.
Adjust your expectations.
Therapy may not give you an erection like the ones you had when you were younger. Treatments may cause some discomfort. If you anticipate these problems you will be prepared to deal with them.
Continue to communicate.
You and your partner need to confront any concerns you may have about erectile dysfunction by discussing your feelings and reassuring each other that you still care. Couples need to maintain this communication throughout the treatment process.
