Viagra the wonder drug of the twenty first century.
It is an answer to Erectile Deficiency in men, and has become the answer for many men.
"I didn't tell my wife at first, wanting to find out if what I had heard was true.
The next time we had intercourse, I was prepared.
My wife wanted to know what had happened to me - I was performing like a 16-year-old.
She jokingly asked me if I was on Viagra, and I dodged the question.
But my erection was harder and longer and bigger than it had ever been! It shocked ME! Well, once might be a fluke, so I tried it again, the next night.
Now she was REALLY surprised.
At 56, I was expected to have SOME reduction in my sex drive, but the confidence Viagra gave me, and the actual effects, got me going.
The next morning, I woke up and we had intercourse before I went to work.
This was getting interesting.
" This is what the manufacturers want you to know, that everything is brilliant.
But there is potentially a down side.
This is over and above the side effects that the FDA publish.
A and B have been together for many years.
In line with many other couples, sex was great at the beginning, settling down in their twenties or thirties, or in these days of getting together later, thirties or forties.
This goes on until at some point the man realizes that he can't maintain an erection.
The couple talk about it, and settle into a less sexual relationship.
She is content, as is he.
However, he occasionally resents the fact that he can't "get it up.
" Time goes by and both are settled in their relationship.
B's friend in the pub tells him about a new thing he's tried called Viagra, and how" it sorted him out" in the bedroom.
"No problem now mate" he says.
B finds out where he got them from.
Gets his own.
Takes them home and tells partner what hes done.
He's very excited.
He now enters a period of frantic sex, it appears that he's trying to make up for lost time.
But, his partner A, who goes along with it, is less than ecstatic.
She was comfortable before, no demands, she had gotten used to a less sexual relationship.
She didn't recognize the raging sex maniac that her partner had become.
He begins to notice his partners lss than enthusiastic reception, and can't understand it.
He shares this with his friend in the pub, who initially introduced him to Viagra, and who is sat with a new, younger partner.
Suddenly his whole world is upside down.
His loving partner of many years seems less than enthusiastic about his new found sexuality.
And something else to think about, his mates young friend has a friend..
..
So it goes.
A couple of years later we find out that hes divorced, with a younger woman in tow, not really sure what happened.
Feeling very blue.
