Viagra, Cialis, etc.

. . . and your relationship

When it comes to relationships, nothing is really simple. Viagra, Cialis, Levitra, or another medicine may treat erectile dysfunction solving one problem but leaving you with another.

How the urologist can cure the lack of erection only to have the relationship get worse is described in this Medical News Today article about a Harvard Medical School study.

From the perspective of the relationship, the decision to take medicine to treat erectile dysfunction can result in several things.

• The most likely outcome is that the medicine works and the man can take a pill and have a hard enough penis to do whatever the couple wants. Erectile dysfunction is no longer a problem, though there still must be accommodations of timing, buying an expensive medication, etc. If both partners are happy to have things go back to the way they were before, then the problem is solved and there is nothing more to do. (This might be a point to consider whether "good enough" is ever really good enough, but that is nobody's business but yours.)

• Another possibility is that the medicine does not cause an erection. If you find yourself in the group for which the desired result does not occur that can be very disappointing not only not only for you, but also for your partner. When you are experiencing a major loss that the cure didn't work out, it is vital to remember that shared emotional experiences pull people closer together. Often it is the ones that you did not choose but get through together that have the greatest benefit to the relationship. And anyway, what choice to do have?

• There is another possibility that can't be overlooked and that is when one or both members of a couple actually has not minded the lack of sexual intercourse, but hasn't said it because they didn't have to. This scenario is not that uncommon and brings with it a whole new set of problems. Successful treatment with medication has destabilized the relationship forcing a discussion with your partner about relationsal dysfunctions instead of just erectile dysfunction. If this seems to be your situation, it is time to find a skilled sex therapist to help you with the issues that you weren't having to face as long as you couldn't get a hard penis.

Strange how things seem to come at us first from one direction and then the other, isn't it?
