Peyronie´s Disease May Be The Cause
If you have previously enjoyed a loving physical relationship with your husband. It can be very upsetting when it seems like he no longer finds you attractive and is reluctant to make love.
It´s only human nature to think the worst and jump to conclusions. Especially if he refuses to talk to you about it.
But the fact is, there are many causes of lack of interest in sex as we get older, and although your husband may still think you are the sexiest woman on the planet.
He may be suffering from Peyronie´s disease, sometimes called Induratio penis plastica ( IPP) which make´s sex so painful and sometimes psyically impossible he starts to turn away from you.

What Is It ?
Peyronie´s disease or IPP is caused by a hard lump or plaque, like scar tissue, forming in the penile shaft and causing curvature and pain in the erect penis. The curvature may become so pronounced over time that penetration becomes difficult or in severe cases impossible. This is why early diagnosis and treatment is advisable.
Problems due to this disease usually appear in middle age, but younger and older men can also be affected.
The plaque or lump formed in the penis is benign or non cancerous.
It´s thought that the disease may begin as a localised inflammation or localised bleeding inside the penis following some kind of trauma.
There is also evidence to suggest that sufferes may have a family tendency to it and also it could be linked to Dupuytren´s contracture ( where the fingers start to pull inwards towards the palm of the hand)
