For many couples who have been struggling with impotence or unreliable erections for any amount of time, the development of VIAGRAtm promises tremendous relief. Sixty to ninety minutes after a man takes VIAGRAtm, he is likely to experience a much improved capacity to develop and maintain an erection. The effect of the medication may last from four to six hours, sometimes a little longer. The sexual effect of it is experienced in a quite natural way, i.e. an erection will only develop when sexual interest and genital stimulation occur. This material was developed to provide you with information and ideas, that may ease the introduction of VIAGRA into your lovemaking, and optimize its effect.
Many men are thrilled about the possibilities that VIAGRAtm may offer them. Most look forward to the restoration of their erectile function to youthful levels. However, it may be useful to think about what changes have occurred in your life with your partner in the meantime.
Chances are, your patterns of lovemaking have adjusted to the erectile difficulty. Maybe sex has become more infrequent. Foreplay and non-intercourse sexual play may have become perfunctory or non-existent over time. Or maybe these activities have become more prominent in your sexual activities in order to cope with the lack of reliable erections. The patterns that couples develop to adjust to difficulty in one partner are important. They reflect both the necessities and the preferences of either partner. They may also mask other changes in the sexual relationship that are important to watch out for as you introduce VIAGRA into your life.
Your partner may have experienced changes in sexual functioning as well. In women, sexual interest can permanently adjust to lower levels of sexual activity, and it may take time and attention to increase sexual interest to previous levels. Your partner may have developed physical changes either due to menopause or a medical condition, that may make intercourse less pleasurable than it used to be.
In most couples who have experienced impotence, both partners welcome the restoration of erections. However, you may not want to abandon the pattern you have adopted in the meantime overnight, because your partner may need a chance to adjust. It may be difficult for your partner to suddenly have sex frequently, and be focused on intercourse the way you may be. Individuals need time to adjust to change, and that is particularly true in a personal sphere such as sex.
Talk to your partner about how you feel about your regained erectile capacity. Initiate a dialogue about how sex can now be better for both of you. Make sure your partner knows that your sexual interest is fueled by the sexual energy between you, and not by VIAGRAtm. If oral and manual sex have become the main sexual activities for the two of you because of your erectile difficulty, make sure that there is still plenty of that even though VIAGRA has restored your erections. If sexual activity had become infrequent or non-existent between the two of you, do not expect frequent sex overnight now. Give your partner the opportunity to get used to your renewed appetite for sex.
Not having to worry about your erection frees you and your partner to explore each other all over again. Couples with a concern about erections typically rush through sex for fear that lingering on pleasurable touches may jinx the whole event.Take your time to pleasure each other in both non-genital and genital ways. Explore what feels good to your partner and you. You may discover that with greater confidence in your erections you can take the time to enjoy a wider spectrum of sexual intimacy with your partner.
Couples using VIAGRAtm who experience difficulty in adjusting to the changes it brings, stand to benefit greatly from meeting with a sex therapist to help them improve their mutual enjoyment of sex. Such consultations are usually covered by health insurance plans, and offer a chance for the couple to speak about their sexual needs and concerns with a trained professional. Sex therapy usually consists of a sequence of pleasuring and communication exercises developed for the couple and done at home between consultations. Sex therapy is a highly effective way for couples to adjust to sexual changes, and frequently takes only a few sessions before some improvement is experienced.
There are many non-sexual ways in which erectile dysfunction has probably affected your relationship. For example, the partner felt rejected by the man's difficulty; the man felt guilty and undeserving in the relationship-these are just two of the possible ways that your difficulty with erections may have impacted your relationship. Relationships often change under the strain of sexual difficulty. A sudden reversal of your difficulty may lead to expectations that everything in the relationship will quickly return to the way it used to be. There have likely been changes in how you communicate, your habits, even how you use your time together. These changes have occurred over time and will take time and lots of communication to reverse.
Men often assume that all the difficulties they and their partners experience in the relationship will disappear when they can have reliable erections again. Erectile dysfunction is such a big concern for both men and women, that it often masks non sex-related problems in the relationship. Having overcome their sexual dysfunction these couples may feel frustrated and resentful that their relationship does not improve despite the improved erections. In these situations it may be best to consider a brief course of couples counseling to address the issues that VIAGRA's improvement of erections made apparent.
In many respects VIAGRAtm is a dream come true-a safe and effective treatment for erectile dysfunction that restores sexual functioning for many men. Without surgery, injections, suppositories, or devices, men and their partners can enjoy sexual functioning that for many seemed lost. Like all important changes that occur suddenly, couples may require some time and effort to fully adjust. Should that adjustment pose a challenge, short-term consultation with a couples therapist or sex therapist is likely to be very helpful.
