Hi Gata05,
Anonymous, is right that erectile dysfunction is a true medical problem. If your boyfriend is experiencing this, there are a lot of methods to try and deal with it--a doctor can help him figure out what will be best for him. Doctors are trained to work in the most discreet way, so he shouldn't be embarrassed regardless, if it truly is a medical issue. For instance, his medication for OCD could be part of the problem. Some people do report reduced sex drive when on anti-depressants. However, we still don't know if it is a medical issue, and it's up to him to decide to get help. As his girlfriend, you can be loving and encourage him, but it's his deal ultimately. You still need to take care of yourself, and decide where your line is on the relationship and in regard to helping him and being patient. Good luck, and come back if you still have questions or need to "talk."
