She gets mad if I don't get hard. What to do?

Hi, My girlfriend gets mad at me if I don't get it up. What am I supposed to do? I'm not going to take drugs. We have been together almost 3 years. I'm 42 and she's 26. Our lives and relationship are very stressful for a number of reasons. I am not a licensed psychiatrist, but by comparison to other people I have known throughout my life, I believe that she has a general anger management problem. Sometimes it works like a champ, especially in the morning. Other times it doesn't. Sometimes it gets hard while we're making out and then gets soft. I consider her physically sexy. No matter how many times I tell her that erectile function is involuntary and it's nobody's fault if it doesn't get hard, she doesn't give a shit and just gets mad at me. So then we're left lying in bed, her mad at me, me not knowing what I'm supposed to do, and after ten minutes or so of silence, she is asleep. The next day, she is mad at me for having done nothing to solve the problem and not talking about it at the time. She tells me that it's now too late to talk about it. I tell her that I don't owe her an apology. I ask her what she expects me to do. She doesn't tell me but just repeats that I should have done something. So what is it exactly? She's also the first woman I've been with who does not like to give blowjobs. In the past, I'd get hard fairly reliably with a blowjob before sex. I tell her this. She tells me that she actually does like to give blowjobs. She continues to not give blowjobs. She has done it maybe ten times in 3 years. She also doesn't seem to like receiving oral sex (I like giving it) - she just lies there silently and motionless until I stop - or using any position other than missionary. I tell her that being mad at me after an incident of failed erection is only going to make it that much harder to do the next time because I'm going to have impending rage to worry about. She doesn't give a shit and just keeps being mad at me. Generally, she just gets mad regardless of intention. If I make a mistake with the best intentions, she gets mad at me, and so on. She's not always sour. Sometimes she's sweet. After all my years of dating and relationships, I don't think it's realistic to seek a woman who is only sweet. So I don't see a point in leaving this one just to get into the same situation again with someone else. Any ideas? Thanks

So I can see how it would be really frustrating to a girl if her guy doesn't get hard, but how can she justify being angry AT him for it? I don't understand the concept of being angry at a person who did not intentionally do something to hurt or neglect you.

I got the answer today. She was mad because I didn't switch to using my fingers on her when the other thing wasn't going to work. I honestly had no idea that this would have been acceptable. I know in the past I had gone down on her in the same situation and that didn't make her happy. With that experience as a reference, I just figured that my fingers wouldn't do it for her either. And even now that she said it would have, I wonder if it really would have.

  • Listen to me: she not into you anymore but hanging on and sex/etc. is supposed to be convenient and automatic for her OR ELSE = not love

    You are talking too much. re: Baseball locker room mottoes - excises - your friends don't need 'em & your enemies won't believe 'em ... haha, well, really your friends don't have to be told, your lovers will step up to the plate and help you solve the problem - this gal just MAKES IT WORSE

    Fingers = solution ahahahaha, can't wait to hear the next command "suggestion" from such a poor communicator in a scenario where everything is someone else's falut

    START SHOPPING TODAY for a replacement - even if you reject this idea at first, after another bedroom command of you (esp. if she doesn't respond to simple BJs) at least keep your eyes open for that replacement that is willing to DO BETTER & lovingly

  • Take a shitload of vitamins and minerals,and don't be afraid to take double doses or more.Especially take zinc and magnesium.

    Keep fit and exercise,

    You should be right for twice a day at your age.I know a good night's sleep can help sex drive,but you'll always sleep better after sex.

    They say stress can reduce reduce sex drive,but sex is also good for reducing stress.

    I never agreed that long work hours reduced sex drive.I've been fine,even working 20 hours a day or more,even working 4 days x 24 withno sleep.

  • She sounds awful. I do like giving head, but even if I didn't I would do it if that's what my guy needed to get hard. I certainly don't think she can complain about you not getting hard if she won't go down on you.

  • Leave her. She sounds like a bitch. You deserve better

  • I'm sorry. I haven't read the whole story but the stress you are getting from this girl is only gonna make the erection even more difficult to achieve. I think you two need to emotionally settle and start slowly by building intimacy then have sex. if that doesn't work, you might still be stressed and feel pressured about not able to erect. If not, viagra is always there...

  • Her attitude is gona make it worse. Try to reduce stress and not think about it so much you prob have like a mental block becasue your thinking about it. Healthy eating with things like ginger, green tea. Spicy food is supposed to help too.
