    My husband and i have been married for six years now, i found out on our honeymoon that he was a diabetic and could not perform sexually. He is a minister so he feels limited in what he can do. He has no desire to be passionate at all. I am a very loving and passionate person and feel trapped right now in a loveless relationship. any advice at all.

    When you said that you “found out” that he was diabetic on your honeymoon — is that because he was hiding this from you? Or was he diagnosed on your honeymoon? Why was he hiding it from you and how did you find out?

    Also, why does his being a minister keep him from expressing himself sexually?

    Has he always been someone who had no desire or passion?

    Let me know and I’ll get back to you with a more complete answer. 🙂

    I found out that he had erectile dysfunction on our wedding night this is when he told me he had diabetes; by him being a minister he feels that it is ungodly to use adult toys and such. I think 50 is to young for me to give up sex.

    Lots of diabetics have sex! 😕 So, I’m confused as to the link between erectile dysfunction and diabetes — lots of men have e.d. but they find ways to have a sex life with their wives, either by having less of it, but with more “support” or by having a physical and asking their doctors for pharmaceutical (Viagra, et al) therapy or by using sex toys, etc. The bottom line is that most men will want to please their wives sexually.

    It sounds like you married in your early 40s and that this is your first marriage, and there was no sex before your wedding in this marriage. If you are passionate and loving, as you describe yourself, is this a marriage where you’re doing the care-taking (not just sexually), and he isn’t generous in other areas, too?

    In other words, is sex the only problem here?

    This isn’t just about desire and passion. It’s about generosity. Your husband knows you have a sex drive, and I would hope his empathetic side would want to take care of you in this way. Have you been honest and forthcoming with him?

    I agree that you should not give up your sex life or your sexuality, but it’s time to be roll up your sleeves and talk to your husband about what’s bothering you and what you’d like and how sex isn’t just a way to be physical, it’s a way to closer spiritually, as well. 😉

    See if he won’t go to a doctor, get a physical and discuss options for having a healthy sexual relationship with you.
