Expert Advice On Dealing With Viagra

Tips: When He Gets Viagra

Oh, my Gosh! Hes come home from the doctor with a prescription for Viagra! What does it mean? Is he going outside our relationship for sex? Doesnt he want me any more? These are the questions that go through most womens heads when the little blue pill shows up. Theres really no need to worry. Use the following tips to make the best use of the medication.

1. If hes gotten Viagra, hes feeling insecure and deprived about sex. If your marital sex life is dying or dead, this is your wake-up call. Talk about sex, work on the relationship, or get counseling. Hes forcing the issue one way or the other.

2. If your sex life is good, and he doesnt have a medical condition that prevents erections, then its about aging. Hes feeling old, and hoping Viagra will make him young again. Let him know hes still your Prince Charming, he needs your reassurance.

3. If he becomes too demanding, have a frank talk. Both of you need a reasonable amount of sex for your emotional health, and to keep your relationship intimate and connected. But, if hes gone beyond that, sit him down and tell him how you feel. Ask him whats going on with him. You both need to talk with each other.

4. Four-hour erections are a fantasy. Dont let the advertising hype scare you. Sex will still be normal. Hell just have more confidence. If you have concerns about his health, (I was worried that Viagra would create a stroke) Talk to your Doctor. Go with your husband to an appointment, and ask all your questions. Talk to the doctor about dosage. Most men do better on less than a full dose, and the pills can be cut.

5. Count your blessings. If you have a man whos still interested in sex, and therefore in life, youre blessed. Dont oppose him, join him. Youre the one he wants, dont push him away. Sex may not be what it was in your twenties, but theres still a lot to enjoy. View the erection pills as a toy, learn to play with them. Have as much fun as you can while you can. The pills will help. Tina B. Tessina, Ph.D , aka "Dr. Romance" is a licensed psychotherapist in S.
