New to treatment

[Almost55]

Almost 55. I have a wonderful supportive wife whom I cannot satisfy sexualy for more than a few minutes before I'm done. We met 8 years ago. Moved in together and had a very healthy sex life. I'd come home from work to sexy outfits and oral stimulation almost every day. Fast forward to now where I do get aroused by her all the time, however knowing it won't last more than a few minutes, we both have settled for once in a few weeks. I finally talked to my physician who is starting me on 50mg viagra. Getting blood work done, and seeing how it works for me. As a first time user I am looking for experiences and pros and cons.

Can't comment on the Viagra as I use the other stuff (tadalafil) but we chaps do suffer from performance anxiety, that is, as soon as we think (rightly or wrongly) it's going soft, it does. Having chemical back up helps fighting off those thoughts.

Also if you're only having penetrative sex once every few weeks or so, does that mean you aren't doing anything together, cuddling, oral, masturbation? I think hanging on to this would be worthwhile even if you didn't get your rocks off.

Your post is unclear to me. You seem to be describing premature ejaculation resulting in a short performance.

If that is the case, I’m not sure how an ED drug will help.

Forgive me if I have misinterpreted your words.

Main thing is, not to worry. Worry never helps. Be intimate but don't make Sex the aim. Just enjoy each other. On occasion go for it if it happens naturally, it will.Viagra, tadafil etc may help, start with a lower dose and see how you go.

ask your dr about going to 5mg of tadalafil daily ... I would also have your testosterone level checked - you may need daily boosts of that as well. I use both, work wonders.
