When Sex Becomes Complicated

 

The Emotional Impact of
Erectile Dysfunction on Women

 

 

If intimacy with your partner is impacted by erectile dysfunction,
you’re not alone - and it's not your fault.


A 75–90 minute workshop for women navigating the emotional impact of erectile dysfunction in their relationship—and looking for clarity, validation, and a way forward.

 

Join the Workshop

If your partner has erectile dysfunction, the emotional impact on you is real—even if no one talks about it.

Many women experience:

  • Feeling rejected or undesirable despite loving their partner

  • Loneliness and emotional distance in the relationship

  • Avoiding conversations about sex to protect his feelings

  • Confusion about whether their needs still matter

  • A quiet grief over how intimacy has changed

The emotional impact of erectile dysfunction on women is rarely acknowledged—yet it shapes self-esteem, connection, and desire in powerful ways.

This workshop is a woman-centered space to name that impact, remove self-blame, and understand what’s actually happening beneath the surface.

Support for Partners of Men with Erectile Dysfunction

This is not a medical workshop.

It’s not about fixing erections or pressuring your partner.

It’s about support for partners of men with erectile dysfunction—and protecting intimacy without caretaking, pressure, or silence.

Erectile dysfunction doesn’t just affect erections.
It affects how women feel about themselves, their relationships, and their desirability.

  • Understand erectile dysfunction in a way that removes self-blame

How Erectile Dysfunction Affects Women and Relationships


In this workshop, we’ll explore:

  • Why erectile dysfunction happens (without medical jargon)

  • The stress and performance anxiety loop that keeps ED going

  • How ED impacts intimacy, emotional safety, and connection

  • Why many women over-function or minimize their needs

  • What helps intimacy when erections are unreliable

  • How to talk about erectile dysfunction in ways that preserve closeness

This is grounded, compassionate guidance for women coping with a partner’s erectile dysfunction—without blame or unrealistic expectations.

Is this Workshop right for you?

This Workshop Is for You If:

  • You’re the partner or wife of a man with erectile dysfunction
  • You feel emotionally affected by ED, even if you understand it intellectually
  • You’ve stopped initiating sex to avoid discomfort or rejection
  • You miss intimacy but don’t know what’s possible anymore
  • You want clarity, validation, and emotional relief—not sexual prescriptions

This Workshop Is Not For You If:

  • You are looking for medical treatment, pills, or techniques to “fix” erectile dysfunction
  • You want explicit sexual instruction or performance-based advice
  • You are hoping to pressure your partner into sex or change
  • You are not open to examining how ED affects you emotionally
  • You want quick solutions without emotional insight or reflection

This workshop focuses on understanding, emotional clarity, and relational impact—not medical intervention or sexual performance.

Hi, I'm Dr. Heather England, your trainer

 

I’m a midlife coach, a relationship expert, a psychotherapist, and an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist with a PhD in Clinical Sexology and an MBA in leadership.

I’ve also been a military officer, corporate senior manager, small business owner, online entrepreneur, wife, mother, grandmother, and athlete.

I help women whose partners have ED because I am one.

I created this workshop to help all of the women who had the same feelings and concerns that I had when my husband was diagnosed with erectile dysfunction.  Like you, we had to navigate our new normal when it came to intimacy. My goal is to answer your questions, guide you through life with ED and share everything I wish someone had told me.
