My Story
I'm 55 and semi-retired. I started having problems with maintaining erections a few years ago. I blamed it on being tired or under the weather, but when it started happening more I could not deny something was wrong. I had "petered out", as my wife said. I am blessed to have a loving and lovely Christian wife who also has a sense of humor about this. The problem was making me feel like mud by now, though. Like everyone else, I have seen the commercials on TV for drugs for erectile dysfunction, but I didn't want to admit that that was me.
My wife saw the personal anguish I was going through and urged me to talk to someone at Church. I had a lot of trouble working up the nerve to talk to our pastor about it but finally told him what was bothering me. I was glad that I did though because I felt it eased my burden when I shared with someone else. He was very understanding and told me that he had counceled other men with the same situation. For the first time I felt like maybe God was not punishing me. At his recommendation I talked to my doctor about it too, which was also very difficult for me. Unfortunately he told me that I cannot take the drugs for it because of possible interactions with other medications that I take, so he is refering me to a urologist.
During this trial, the Lord has put it in my heart to create this website as a place where other men who are facing the same problem can know that they are not alone and seek spiritual support. When I talked to my Pastor, I realized that there were hundreds or maybe thousands of Christian men who were going through exactly the same thing as me. Wouldn't it be great, I thought, if we could find a way to join in Fellowship and support each other as men of Faith sharing a common burden. By joining our spirits in prayer we can ask for healing for ourselves and for others.
