Hi, I was hoping that someone may have some insight. I started dating this guy 6 months ago, he had cancer, leukemia, and I know he had a bone marrow transplant.

I never really talked about it with him, i mean he mentioned having cancer growing up, to explain his hair loss, and I see scars on his chest from his bone marrow transplant. (I think it was about 8 or 9 years ago) But it was never a huge topic of conversation, and I guess i didnt want to focus on it.

We started having sex awhile ago, and am encountering things that I don't know how to deal with - primarilty erection difficulties and absence of ejaculation. I really don't think he has ever ejaculated -- is that normal??? Or I guess what I mean is that a side effect of cancer treatment? And if so, does sex feel different or is less enjoyable?

I know that prostate cancer patients suffer from impotence issues, but I was curious about leukemia patients.

I guess deep down my real question is do i bring this up with him.... how do I bring it up. Or do I simply aaccept out encounters as what they are, a time for us to embrace physically? I can tell he is a little sensitive about his sexual performance. I can't help but sometimes think that it is me, or his image of my body causing the problems.

Any input would be much appreciated.
