Found tadalafil in boyfriend's draw?

[WTF12345]

I was looking for paracetamol or ibuprofen in boyfriend's bedside draw for a headache and found a new box of tadalafil one strip missing, other strip in his wash bag, one tablet missing.

Last weekend I thought he was quite 'keen' to have sex. We've not had any bedroom issues to my knowledge. Odd occasion he has been unable to (TMI) 'finish'.

Together 2 years, don't get to see each other more than one or two nights a week due to living an hours drive from each other, his shift work, both having two children from previous relationships. Totally weirded out by it 🤢. I've a feeling the boys from work might have had some influence on this. Can't talk to him about it today, all four kids here?? X

What is it?

Like viagra I according to google, think he got it from an online pharmacy. X

So he clearly has some ED issues you weren’t aware of. Why is that something to feel weird about? He’s probably embarrassed by it hence why he hasn’t spoken about it with you.

Not necessarily ED. Some men use these to delay ejaculation, overcome booze issues, or simply because they think they'll get a better hard on. You need to ask him.

I will. Thanks.

And it's a drawER

NHS says its prescription only and not just for erectile dysfunction
www.nhs.uk/medicines/tadalafil/

He's only early 40's and none of the other issues....defo from an online pharmacy as it was dispensed miles away from where we live, £75!!!!

What strength is it?

5mg.

That is a small dose often given as a daily dose. Found this online:

Tadalafil tablets come in four strengths - 2.5mg, 5mg, 10mg, and 20mg. Most men take a 10mg or 20mg tablet when they need it. The lower doses of 2.5mg and 5mg are usually for daily use, although some men may find a single 5mg tablet taken on an occasional basis is all they need.

The normal starting dose is a single 10mg tablet taken 30 minutes before sexual activity. Repeated trials of treatment at one dose are recommended before changing to higher or lower strength tablets. There is no benefit in taking a higher dose than is needed. Tadalafil should not be taken at the same time or within 36 hours of other erectile dysfunction treatments

I wish he'd talked to me about it. I'm not bothered if he wants to take it but I feel I should know as it kind of involves me in too. It's the doing it behind my back that I'm bothered about.

Don’t see a massive issue.
He’s probably embarrassed
Talk to him about it

I work in pharmacy, I wouldn’t jump to any conclusions yet as this drug can also be used for signs/ symptoms of a enlarged prostate and sometimes in certain high blood pressure, hope that helps xx

Demented it's a "Chester Draws" according to the users of my local FB selling pages

He's obviously embarresded don't humiliate him and comfort him.

You'll have to ask him OP. I think it's a bit disappointing he's withheld it though. If it were to simply prolong ejaculation and he had no ED problems I'd feel very used and experimented on in the scenario you describe and would tell him to jog on. Sex is a mutual decision and with a long term partner I would be expect to be asked if they are taking medication to 'last longer'. Going for hours is hardly comfortable or fun so it wouldn't interest me what can I say, nor would I appreciate him taking it and wanting to experiment on me to see what it's like having taken it and not wanting to 'waste' one

Very unlikely an online pharmacy is dispensing it for 'arterial hypertension' or prostate issue isn't it- without him having been diagnosed or examined by a GP. He is risking his health if he has lied to an online pharmacy. I order a medication from one (for something a GP diagnosed) and have to submit images of recent blood pressure results etc.

It's not to last longer. It's to achieve and maintain an erection.

A healthy guy in his early 40s should not need any artificial assistance to get an erection. You should raise this with him in as diplomatic a way as possible.

I know of a guy in his 30s that suffered ED so it is possible.

The only type of ED I've witnessed is not being able to climax, I've a strong feeling his work mates have all tried it and egged him on, (works in a male dominated environment, they have chat groups with gross stuff including sex related things). I've a feeling it might be an experiment, fucking 😡 pissed off!!!!

The inability to climax has only happened one reason or twice in two years.

It's not uncommon for blokes to take viagra etc as like a booster even if they don't have actual problems- kind of recreationally, to boost performance. The effects can be pretty good tbh. :) Has he seemed a bit firmer or anything? (Firmer than a normal functioning eection I mean.) Have you noticed any improvements? ;grin]

I mean :)

He was very enthusiastic shall we say last weekend but not a massive change in performance. I've really not got a problem with him taking it I just need him to be open with me.
