No matter how hard they try, the stiffness just doesn't happen. Delayed ejaculation (inability to come)Īll men occasionally find that they can't 'make it' when they want to.Erectile dysfunction (used to be called impotence).The main sexual difficulties that men who have sex with men (MSM) might run into are: They're generally the best places to get advice about HIV and you are most unlikely to encounter homophobic attitudes there. If you ever suspect that you might have acquired a sexually transmitted infection (STI), then don't wait to go along to one of the UK's excellent network of genitourinary medicine (GUM) clinics. But I feel that if possible, it's better to be totally open with whichever health professional you go to. Over the years, I've found gay men who come into a surgery or consulting room will sometimes pretend they are straight. So go and see someone, and don't hesitate to tell them you are gay. If you leave sex problems alone and just hope they'll get better, they probably won't. Get yourself a spot of professional help, as soon as possible. So if you've got some sexual difficulty, don't suffer in silence. The most important thing to realise is that these days, most of those conditions can be treated. Sex problems occur in homosexual people, just as they do in heterosexual people.
