I’m so glad that this site was created!
I feel like sex has been such a secretive/misunderstood subject, especially among church members.
The more I’ve read faith based books, shedding light on “normal”, marriage related sex…I feel less stress about sexuality, and I have learned that sex in marriage is ordained from the Lord. Besides pro-creation, it’s meant to bring closeness between spouses, and be a pleasurable release that helps our bodies.
I’ve felt very alone, being an LDS Wife married in the Temple, and having more sexual desire than my husband. My husband wants to have intercourse with me, but has ED. It’s been very frustrating and stressful to both of us.
Does anyone else have experience with a spouse having ED, or any other kind of sexual issues? In my experience, the ED has made it impossible to have sex/intercourse…and it’s affecting my life and happiness. My husband also has times that he’s injured himself while working, i.e. his back or arms, and so he hasn’t been able to do “other” ways of satisfying my needs. Normally, he will do things that “satisfy” me, but with work and children it can be difficult to have the time and energy for us to be intimate.
I appreciate any help, understanding, and advice anyone can share with me.

My husband doesn't have ED but we've had sexual issues of higher desire and not being brought to orgasm. Have you considered using sexual aides to bring yourself to orgasm or for your husband to use on you?

I can relate more than I care to admit and have seen what can happen when partners are not on the same page desire-wise. I agree with KSSunflower, you might try sexual aides, solo or with your spouse. But try to be understanding of your spouses feelings on the matter, having a sexual dysfunction can have a sever impact on self worth causing even more problems.
Involving your husband while taking care of your own needs would be my first suggestion, if your husband would be ok with the idea. You might be surprised at the result.
I wish that no one would have to go through what you and your husband are experiencing, it’s a challenge for sure.
