Firstly, it’s wonderful that you’re reaching out for advice. It shows how much you care about your boyfriend and your relationship. It’s understandable that both of you might feel overwhelmed by the situation, especially with the pressures of school and mental health.

Here are some suggestions on how to approach this sensitive topic:

1. Open a Non-Judgmental Conversation: Choose a calm moment to talk, perhaps when you’re cuddling or relaxed together. Express your concern in a gentle way, focusing on how much you care about him rather than the problem itself. You might say something like, "I noticed you seemed really upset last time. I’m here to support you, and we can talk about anything if you’re comfortable."

2. Normalize the Situation: Many people experience erection problems, and it’s a common issue that can stem from various factors such as stress, anxiety, or physical health. Reassure him that it's okay and that it doesn’t change how you feel about him.

3. Encourage Seeking Help: While he may resist the idea of therapy, you can encourage him to speak to a healthcare professional about his erection problems. A doctor can provide insights and solutions, and it’s essential for him to know that he’s not a burden for seeking help. You could frame it as a step towards feeling better overall.

4. Address the Mental Health Aspect: If he’s comfortable, suggest finding resources about depression that he can explore privately, such as self-help books or online support groups. Remind him that he’s not alone and that many people find therapy helpful.

5. Take Care of Yourself Too: It’s important to take care of your own mental health during this time, especially with your finals. Make sure you’re finding ways to de-stress and support yourself, as being stressed can also affect how you support him.

6. Small Steps: Suggest small, intimate activities that are not focused on sex but help build intimacy, like cuddling, kissing, or simply spending time together. This can help reduce the pressure he might be feeling.

7. Be Patient: Change takes time, and healing from mental health issues is often not linear. Be patient with him as he navigates his feelings.

Ultimately, it's great that you're looking for ways to support him. Open communication, understanding, and patience can help both of you navigate this challenging time together.

Lol i know this is troll bait but this did actually happen the other night. 😂

>I know this is troll bait but I'm still going to reply to it. Not only that, I will take it a step further by giving the most gratifying possible reaction to the troll: validating their bullshit and admitting that it's real, making it 1,000 times funnier to them.

Perhaps you really are a female because only a female could possibly be this dimwitted, I should hope. Feeding the trolls, much? (or should I say troll, singular considering the well-known fact that these boards are saturated with crapmin alts)
