That chick's squeaky little voice, tight bod and frivolous dribble she was talking about might have had something to do with it lol.

My partner occasionally has issues with ED, ususally if he's really stressed out, his BP goes sky high and willie goes down (his ex-wife loves causing him grief) especially when she knows I'm in town.

He was taking horny goat weed and something else (don't remember the name) but it didn't do anything.

His doctor gave him some samples of Levitra but he hasn't used any of them. At times his ED hits, it's not a problem for me or him. With our sex life, we can easily work around it with neither of us getting frustrated and no one being left unsatisfied.

Do not think I have any need for any enhancers at this point, yet I also see koolman's theory.
I would hope to have the understanding SO, like leather, if the situation did occur. Being single, guess we will see if things pop up or not, then go from there

Thanks, leather. I'm sure you didn't want to go into much detail on the "working around" option, but I'm all for using my lips, toungue and toys as a "fall-back" if the willie can't hoist a full mast, and hope she, whoever "she" may be, can be happy with that too, as long as my desire to please her is there, which it sure as hell is.

Like I've said in other posts, intercourse is not the "be-all, end-all" in our sex life, it's not the main event. There are times we don't even get into intercourse when we have sex, we have a lot of variety in our sex life and intercourse is just one sex act out of many for us. Men can be aroused, have pleasure and orgasm, even ejaculate without an erection so he gets his pleasure and sexual release also.

The only problem I had with my partner's ED was worried about the cause behind it. Most often, ED is a symptom of something else going on and is caused by a physical/medical condition, medications, hormone imbalace/Low T levels or psychological issues and it's important to find the cause especially if it's a medical condition. After a few times of it happening to him, he made an appt. with his doc, explained that he was having issues with ED sometimes but not all the time. He had a full check up, prostate exam, blood work, urinalysis, the doc asked him if there were any emotional problems, the whole nine yards. It was determined his ED was caused when he's really stressed out which causes his blood pressure to rise which in turn causes his ED.

When stbxh was in his mid 40s, he started with ED and went to the doc about it. His BP was at stroke and heart attack level and if it weren't for ED, he wouldn't have gone to the doc and would have never known his BP was that bad. High BP is often known as the silent killer because it doesn't always have any symptoms. Him having ED and not being embarrassed to talk to the doc about it could very well have saved his life. He was put on BP meds and once his BP was regulated he no longer had ED issues going on.

I'm rambling here but it's important for you guys to talk to your doctor and get checked out if you do start experiencing ED regularly. The occasional episodes happen and not something to be concerned about but if it happens often, don't hesitate to get it checked out to rule out a serious medical condition.

Women should do the same if they experience a difference in thier performance, their libido, their sexual response system, lack of lubrication, lack of orgasms, etc. Sexual dysfunction in women can be caused by the same things that can cause ED in men.

I'm done rambling now. ;o)

Thanks. My BP is sickeningly normal, but my bad LDL cholesterol is on the high side and HDL is low (!). My overall cholesterol is about 50 points too high! Something to keep an eye on, I suppose. My mom's dealing with high LDL cholesterol too. My dad needs to lose about 30 lbs. But they're both in their 60s and still active!

Then, a better question to ask is: Any herbal or natural way to lower cholesterol? Don't want to get on Lipitor or any other med. Doing garlic and ginger.

I do feel a tingling and numbing in the legs sometimes. PAD (peripheral artery disease)? I understand this more than doubles my chances for a heart-attack or stroke.

I have taken Cialis before and it helps. Dont need it for the first go around, but after that with the blood pressure meds and anti-depressants have a pit of a problem at times . Also taking Lexapro for depression makes the stamina hit the half hour to hour mark ;) got to love that. Never had a problem any time in my life till I started takeing high blood pressure meds. Hell from 16 to 36 I think it was awake more then asleep. LOL

Makes sense, lost. Blood pressure is what's needed to pump blood "down there". Controlling blood pressure makes the blood flow more slowly.

Being a TYPE 2 Dibetic . My meds kick my ass some times, I can get it up but sometimes it don't stay for the whole ride. I got a script for LEVITRA............Makes me feel 21 again instead of 53..It satys working beween 12 and 18 hours on me and WE ALWAYS get a few in. I love to LICK IT.........But having a helper to STICK IT is a BLAST.

I used "the little blue pill" (that no one uses but is the biggest seller out there) to overcome "opening night jitters" that really brought me down when fear of dissapointing her on our first time caused great frustration and embarassment.
Yowzer!
..again and again.....and even again a few times!
I'm suprised more women don't suggest it to their SO's
