My husband is 59 years old and has not had an erection for the past years. I helped him get viagra and when the rx was up he would not go get it renewed. I made an appointment for him to see a Dr. but he refused to go. He used to watch porno and masterbate, now he says he can not get an erection for enything. I don t know what to do.

Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hi there ~~

I understand that your husband has not had erections for years. You have a very common problem of erectile dysfunction and / or premature ejaculation and it can be easily treated with medications available during this time. The class of medication is called phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitors (PDE5Inh) selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors and it also helps with decreased libido which is a result of depression if you are going through one. I advise you to consult with a qualified psychiatrist who might be able to help in this regard. I hope this helps.

Take care and have a lovely day!
