No, sex and love are not the same thing. However, they definitely influence one another. Women cannot understand just how difficult it is for a guy to become sexually aroused without being able to satisfy those urges. It is FAR beyond frustrating. Guys cannot be intimate without becoming aroused. If they know that there will be no release for that arousal, they would much rather not get intimate in the first place. My wife and I are currently experiencing problems with this because she is currently unable to have sex. When the problem is erectile dysfunction (ED) it gets even more complicated. Guys dealing with ED often feel like their manhood is somehow diminished. So, not only is the guy so frustrated because there is no sexual release, he feels like he isn't even a man. The easiest way to avoid these feelings is to avoid intimacy altogether.

It's called shame. ED makes a man feel like less than a man, and once it happens, it will probably happen again just because of the guy's anxiety.
Men are very visual, and very physical, but we're also very unsure of ourselves sexually (that's why we seem to need to prove ourselves so much by wanting our partner to have a wild orgasm every time). But everything moves through the brain, and that's where worry and anxiety can derail the process.

it depends on the person, for me sex is a very big part of expressing my affection and of the relationship. and honestly if i ever went impotent i probably wouldnt deal with relationships i dont mean to sound harsh or piggish but like i said it depends on the person. and no i dont think sex is love but it is an expression of it

i think it has a lot to do with their ego
if this is something you're personally dealing with.....i say talk to him....tell him it's ok...that sex and love is different. you can be physical in a lot of ways..not only sex.
there are a lot of E.D. meds on the market...i.e. viagra, levitra, cialis...as well as "natural" help that you can get w/out a prescription,
i say talk to him...be open and supportive.....and hopefully he'll feel better about it and start to open up physically with you.
good luck

I thought my fiance thought sex and love had something to do with each other till I saw your question and had to ask him. I am shocked at his reaction. I thought forsure he would say yes it has something to do with each other and he says it doesnt have anything to do with each other. I know someone whos not getting some tonight. Maybe he can go get him some unloving sex .....
