Ok, first, to lillieperl:
With all your talk about how men feel about ED, I am reminded of the disney "sword in the stone" movie, about merlin telling his pet owl, that merlin was going to be the one teaching arthur about how to fly as a bird, becuase he had "made an extensive study on birds in flight". To which archimedes replied, "and if you dont mind, I happen to be a bird!" ;\)

Besides which, you are mixing up two separate subjects:

1. whether or not karen would be satisfied with a (mostly) no-penetration sex life (which she didnt answer directly.. i'll bug her about that later ;))

2. how "important" it is to karen's husband, to have a functioning penis.

to quote you:

well, yeah, ok, that may or may not be true to karen's H.. . but what does that have to do with Karen?
If that is soo important to him.. he should SEE A DOCTOR!
If he wont.. then that is his problem.
Meanwhile, his own problems, should not stop him from helping his wife.

on the contrary: it is eminently practical. it is ALL "practical". perhaps what you mean is, "it's not likely".

Anyways, back to Karen now \:D
