Viagra

I've nc for this because I've been posting recently about how amazing my sex life is. Well...

I thought we had a pretty good sex life. We don't live together so we do something, even if it's not full piv, pretty much every time we see each other. Because we don't live together that's often after we have been drinking/after long days at work etc, and sometimes he loses his erection which I put down to booze/being knackered to be honest. It's never been an issue for me, he does other stuff and always makes sure I'm satisfied, and he usually ends satisfied in one way or another. In fact I'd say he was the best partner I've ever had - he's really attentive and loving, wants to try new things, my pleasure is really important to him, we have quite a strong intimate connection not just sex.

A couple of weeks ago he confided that he wants to look into taking viagra because it's getting to him. Fair enough, I can see that it might be frustrating. He thinks it's a bit of an anxiety thing because it happened once when he was drunk and he remembered that occasion in the middle of sex and it instantly led to that erection disappearing and now he's so worried about it happening again that it's a bit of a self fulfilling prophecy.

Does anyone else have any experience of a man using viagra or similar? I'm going to talk to him about it when he gets it but it's new to him too. I love him very much and don't want him to feel under any pressure but I also don't want to make any anxieties worse by asking loads of questions.

How's does the process work - he takes the tablet then we do foreplay as normal to make it 'work' so to speak!? I know that being spontaneous is important to him, any tips for keeping that spontaneous vibe? Any other dos and donts? This is not a big deal at all to me and I want that to come across to him, but I'm also a bit clueless

You need to take it about an hour before beginning any sexual activity for best results.
Personally I find Cialis a better product as the 'operating window' is much longer, that's why its called the Weekender!
Good luck

Hesgonesoft · 09/11/2020 17:49

@FinnGermey thank you! Though I'm not sure I'm hardcore enough for an entire weekend, Ha! So... does the drug stay in your system and the effects come and go when you get aroused? Im assuming you don't get an wee room for an entire 'weekend' with no respite!?

FinnGermey · 09/11/2020 21:54

Yes, that's it, you can rise to the occasion whenever required....hopefully

cooliebrown · 10/11/2020 16:58

you can get viagra prescribed on NHS, but not cialis (about £15 per pill on private scrip - each good for the weekend)

with either viagra or cialis stimulation and arousal is required for erection - chap isn't stuck with a boner for 48 hours

Hesgonesoft · 10/11/2020 18:23

@cooliebrown haha that's reassuring.

Thanks everyone. It seems like even the discussion of getting some pills has helped relieve the anxiety and we've had a great couple of nights!

Viagra destroyed my relationship.
My DH was on SSRI and had a bit of an ED problem. So he tried viagra which led to him constantly being horny and although i was satisfied it took out the emotion of sex, so in hhe end i felt used. That and porn use has resulted in alot of problems within our intimate relationship. Even after medication change sex is just shit so i dont bother anymore. Its just completely turned me off of him sexually.
Unfortunately they dont tell you the psychological effect on the woman. There are lots of reports online regarding this.

maggie1862 · 12/11/2020 10:11

my DH uses sildenafil , he never tells me if he has taken one but does say some go to waste if we do not have sex afterwards and I guess that is the luck of the draw .
Would feel wrong if he announced I have a cock stiffner get your kit off , pleased he is prepaired for no a bang in every tablet .

FinnGermey · 12/11/2020 12:12

Viagra does not make you horny, nor increase your libido.
It may give you more confidence though, which can lead to more 'pressure' for sex?

AverageGuy · 13/11/2020 09:02

I occasionally use Viagra. I'm in my late 50's, and for me, it's more of a confidence thing.

I don't often have ED, so I suspect everything is working, so it's more of a "just in case" I've also found it helps me "repeat", as it were Blush

As a PP said, take it about an hour before sexual activity, (although I've managed with @30 minutes) which can take the spontaneity out of things.

However, the drug remains in the bloodstream for @4 hours (I've found it still effective the next morning if I take it at @7pm, but like I say, I may not actually need it...)

I've not tried Calais, but it sounds interesting.. Smile

Actually, it’s all personal. I’ve tried viagra, and I like its effect, but it doesn’t last as long as I’d like. I prefer cenforce to it. Here you can find a detailed description of this treatment www.pillpal.to/men-s-health-1793/cenforce-25-mg-38704.html. My friend once advised me about this thing, and I’m actually delighted with the way it works cause it helps me last way longer than regular viagra or Cialis. So, that’s my recommendation to you. But, before you buy it, I advise you to visit your doctor. It’s crucial, just believe me. Best wishes.

StarlightLady · 02/08/2022 12:35

I've been with men who have used it (and I expect there have been some where I didn't know, they have a right to their own privacy), as far as I'm concerned it's a legal recreational drug, which can benefit both.

Sparkybloke · 02/08/2022 14:10

I'm very much in your situation. Me and my DP are each other at weekends. Late 50's and pretty fit but sometimes the mind has been willing but the penis less so. If we anticipate a sexy weekend I sometimse take tadafenil (cialis) as it will work for probably 36 hours. I did try viagra once but got a horrible headache a few hours later.
As other say take about 60 mins before action. Cialis will then give him a very firm hard on if he is sexually stimulated. Do ensure he has no underlying health issues first. Both viagra and now cialis in low dose are available more or less over the counter from chemists. Again, as others have said, viagra wears off in 4-6 hours where as cialis will work for at least 24 hours and more in my experience. neither will give him an erection. They will help him get hard if he is sexually stimulated either touch, or visually etc.
We often have sex 3 or 4 times over a weekend and ...ahem...it does help!

AverageGuy · 02/08/2022 15:16

@Sparkybloke - tell me more about Ciallis being available over the counter - I wasn't aware of that, and I'd be interested in trying it - for research purposes, obviously Grin

justabagman · 02/08/2022 15:24

how old is your partner OP ?

brianixon · 02/08/2022 15:28

It doesn't always work.

MissConductUS · 02/08/2022 15:31

While Cialis lasts longer, some men have better results with Viagra. As others have said, it just makes the plumbing work better and has no impact on libido.

Cialis or tadafenil is available but you will need to either visit a g p and get a prescription or you can do an online questionnaire for low doses with an On-line pharmacy.

MissConductUS · 02/08/2022 18:16

There's a very reliable Indian pharmacy that's good for this sort of thing. Google alldaychemist.

Viagra (Sildenafil) and Cialis (Tadalafil) both work well for me. Thankfully I have no side effects with either. For some men these can include mild face-flushing, loose bowel movements and achy muscles.

As well as the advantage of working for up to 36 hours (compared with Viagra's 4-6 hours) an additional benefit of Cialis not yet mentioned is that it is unaffected by a full stomach. With Viagra you have to remember to eat light on date nights for best effects.

For some reason neither medication goes well with grapefruit so this needs to be avoided. And stay very light on alcohol.

When reading up on both medications I discovered that in tests Viagra and Cialis are pretty much indistinguishable in terms of customer satisfaction - both over 80% "success rate". Between the two I can't tell any difference. Both help me get a very strong and lasting erection. It probably ends up as personal choice which may be based on any side effects one or other might have. Personally I have now moved over from Viagra to Cialis because of the abovementioned advantages.

Both Cialis and Viagra (or the identical medications now available under other, usually slightly cheaper brand names) are widely available online (make sure it's a reputable supplier though) and over the counter in high street chemists, either with GP's prescription or one issued by the pharmacist. I order online via a very well-known, reputable national pharmacy (without advertising their name!) which works out at around £5 per tablet with both medications. As a pp has previously mentioned a series of online questions about personal medical history etc, need to be answered before the medication is prescribed.

It can be delivered to your door or collected over the counter at your designated local pharmacy. It's all very straightforward.

You will try online consultation with a doctor!
