Viagra and sex - what to expect?
| Wed, 11-10-2004 - 7:53pm |
I have been dating a man and we are going to be moving towards sex soon. He has explained that when he is taking blood pressure medication he has to take Viagra so we have to plan a little bit for when we are going to do this. I have always treated sex/love-making with a little more spontaneity and more mental foreplay that led to a nice encounter, so this is a little different for me. I am a little concerned about how this will work. I am actually concerned about his erection lasting too long. Should I be? How will it be different than being with someone who does not have ED and has not ever had to take the enhancements? Can someone tell me a little about what to expect?
Thanks for the help,
D.

DH's erection does last a bit longer, but not hours and hours. Since he sometimes used to be a bit quick on the draw, this is actually a plus, since it's a given that I'll have time to get mine before he does! I'm liking that part of it very much.
The only drawback is that sometimes he's in the mood and pops a pill without knowing for sure, and I'm really tired and not feeling much like sex. It hasn't happened often, but it has happened.
IF his BP meds are the cause he might want to talk to his GP about changing meds some drugs are less likely to cause ED than others. A lot of people have cured that issue by switching BP meds.
Some guys have also been try a different approach which is to take a Cialis every 72 hours or 3 days, ongoing. That way they always have some blood level and don't have to worry about taking Viagra before sex. Its also lowers blood pressure. Its in the same drug class a viagra which was originally developed as a blood pressure med. The effect on ED was a accidental discovery. :-)
I hear the post about taking the pill then discover wife's not in the mood oops is my face red :-) Its right up there with take the pill while when wife is washing up then whoosh oops periods here a couple of days early.

All in all, it's been a godsend. When he started on the meds, it was so terribly frustrating for both of us when he could *never* orgasm and rarely stayed hard. It wasn't a sexual frustration for me, but rather an emotional one because I felt for him. I never made a big deal about it and I knew it was the medication, but I was bothered for *him*. Just knowing - even if it takes taking a pill - that we will absolutely be able to have sex is good for both of us.

Since you have to get it from your doctor, you should make up a list of all the questions you have, and ask the doctor, who should know the answers to any questions you might have.
