Hey guys/gals,

Lots of good advice flowing in! I do appreciate everyone's input on the matter. Ben, I am with you on the fact that the pills may have side effects that haven't surfaced yet. I too worry it will be one of those issues discussed on all the magazine shows, talking about lawsuits because the companies didn't thoroughly test the product, etc., etc.. I'd hate to think hubby could be risking himself just because his pecker doesn't get as hard as it used to. LOL

And Cala, I too have tried the patch (I've quit smoking twice in the last five years). It works great for me, and just like you, I had some crazy, messed-up dreams while on the things. I had a dream once while using the patch that ducks with human legs were running around in my back yard. LMAO

Well, we'll see what the future will hold. I'm still trying to convince hubbs to quit smoking, but he's not so willing. He's 39 and has been smoking since he was 13. Smoking more than half of his life! Wish me luck and if any updates surface, I'll let you guys know!

Thanks again to all

MM

MM, I understand some form of reluctance to take something new, but ALL medicines have side effects. These meds aren't taken every day like most and only last abuot 4 hours (Viagra, . about 36) They are tested for years by FDA, and warnings are listed on bottle. Not for heart patients for whom sex is dangerous, heart patients who take nitro (pill under tongue for chest pain) other than that, proven safe. Flushing, sinus pressure like a cold can happen, perfectly harmless. Actually cold medicines (sudafed) much more dangerous! At least try it if his heart is OK. (Would have to be serious heart condition to be dangerous). You will be very happy! The lawsuits to speak of (Vioxx, etc. were proven safe unless people were taking 3-4 X recommended dose!) The 'more is better" mentality of people.

It doesn't work by decreasing circulation - in fact, most men who smoke have ED, and they make up the majority of patients using Viagra. There is no evidence of risk for smokers using it. As I said before, only severely disease heart patients are at risk.

no, but it effects the way body tissue reacts to blood pressure/flow in the penis and i'm sure other body tissue. i'm not sure if it effects stroke incidence so it is better to get it from a doctor than _. at least get a consult before hand.

:D Actually, it lowers blood pressure. A stroke is caused by excessively high blood pressure. About 72 percent of ED is from high blood pressure. It has been proven safe in men who are taking blood pressure meds, (these increase ED themseves). It is safe even in heart patients, as long as the disease is controlled. Unstable coronary disease treated with nitrates, patients heart failure with low blood pressure, or patients with severe enough heart disease as to be not healthy enough to have sex are contraindicated (not eligible to take Viagra).

This hardness problem makes one wonder. Women often, often want much older guys as they are richer, wiser, etc., but there is a sexual tradeoff in that their dicks aren't as hard as younger guys. Money is more important than sex to many women?

Mostirreverent, you are exactly right - it was trialed as a blood pressure drug and replacement for nitro, but not as successful as traditional meds. In those days, impotence was considered a psychological problem, they didn't know how it worked physically. They kept getting reports of erections as a side effect, and started looking into how an erection comes about. In the study, something like 90% of men had success, hence the birth of Viagra, yeah!!

As for your question Big Ben, another good reason for preferring older men is because they not only last longer, but have more experience, are usually better at it, and teach them how to SAVOR sex! VERY addicting.....

massive problem

Postby antleeds on Wed Mar 02, 2005 1:23 pm

but because it the symbol of a masculinity no to very few talk about it openly and just put it down to other things eg stress , tired , etc etc

a busness friend of mine sells viagra and . _ and its making him very very rich indeed

i have tried . and it lasted 3 days and boy did it pick me up , i had noticed over a period of time the loss of hardness and started to worry about not been able to perform at all which compounded the situation greatly

i am a club dj and these things are been traded by 20 yr old never mine people in there 40 s

if you are a guy who has noticed a loss and is worrying about it ,you can visit your gp who will offer private prescription but this can be expensive about ÂŁ65 for 8 . but you can split them into 2 which reduces cost

if they work (and im sure they will , tho not medically qualified ) you can then if your carefull buy _

i noticed after a period my confidence returned and only a small amount would work fine

let me know lads how you go on , its not only you

Antleeds, I just had some deja vu when you said that about men brushing it off as just being tired or stressed out. That's exactly what my husband uses as an excuse every time his performance is a little lackluster. The more I think about it, the more I am realizing that his problem may be a little more frequent that I or him want to admit. I've noticed that every time we have sex, I have to "finish him off" to get him to cum, and I have to get pretty rough with it to get him there. Things have definitely changed in our bedroom, especially in the last 3 months or so.

I want to suggest to him that he get some 'scripts for it, but I don't know if he'd be willing to do that. And as far as which one to get, I'm still at a loss. Viagara, .,.... anyone out there that can share their success stories on either one? OR horror stories?

Thanks again guys

Hey, MM!
I wanted to tell my (my husband's!!) experience with both Viagra and .. We used Viagra for a period of months, but you have to wait about 30-45 minutes for it to work :cry: He recently tried . - Yeah!! It lasts 2-3 days, works even better and without the side effects like flushing, headache, etc. It still has the effect on the heart, like I mentioned. It's awesome.

I strongly recommend he see an MD tho instead of buying them _. His smoking history is a risk for a heart problem, tho at his age, probably not. Better safe than sorry!

Hello,

I was browsing the forum and when I found this thread I thought that I should give some info. I apologise in advance for my English, because I am not a native speaker.

About the topic: I am 39 yo and I would like to say that the ageing process, at this age – at least -, has nothing to do with the lack of “hardness”. I live a practically sedentary life, but I am not obese nor have I any coronary or circulatory problem. My hardness is still at the stage of “holding a wet tower” without the help of any medication. I seriously believe that the main problem is in the mind. Maybe I could even dare say that our main sexual organ is in the mind. Of course I have had situations when I even have got no erection at all, but analyzing them it’s clear that they have nothing to do with age or medical condition: one happened after several hours of flight and night out (=exhaustion), other when I felt the woman I was with didn’t care very much about me (she was very interested in sex only) and finally after a very active night (exhaustion again). I have also experimented the situation of being at 50%, but only when the woman I was with was not arousing me enough and/or I was very stressed and anxious to finish the “session” ASAP. By the way, I think that this is a problem that we men should be dealing as you women do: most of the times when you don’t want it, you don’t do it… but for men, it’s like a crime to refuse it, so even when we are not a 100% in the mood we will try and do our best, which sometimes may not be good enough.

Cheers,

Joe

I'm 36 and I've had this problem for 6 years. In my last relationship, there was one thing that managed to get me rock hard really fast ... but I don't think many people will want to try it.

Armpit odor. That was the magical potion. I would smell her armpits while we were having sex, and the smell, although I didn't exactly like it, would make me hard very fast. It's all about pheromones, I guess.

So, my sexual future will have to include more armpit sniffing. I know this isn't a culturally acceptable thing, but it is perfectly natural.
To enjoy the smell of pussy is to worship God.
