NSFW??? Ladies, do you mind if your man is taking Viagra?
The only comments I’ve ever heard a woman make about Viagra, (or any other erectile dysfunction medicine) is to make some type of joke about it. Basically poking fun at a man who couldn’t get it up. Admittedly, this was over ten years ago when the medicine first hit the market and it was new to everyone.
I was working a client photo shoot for a mens fashion catalog, and somehow the subject of Viagra came up. The woman stylist made a joking comment about it. Ignorantly, a few people including myself took the opportunity to snicker under our breath. As a new and somewhat embarrassing subject, the joke was a timely one that spoke to the culture of the day. I don’t even remember what she said, but just the subject of Viagra was funny at the time. This was before the days that the term erectile dysfunction was even known.
Well, one of the male models spoke up immediately and explained that it was a real medicine that was doing some real good for men with the problem. He maturely explained that many couples were enjoying its benefits in their relationship. It was still kind of kiddy giggling funny, and quite odd to hear someone speak up so boldly in defense of it.
A decade later and there are numerous variations on the theme of Viagra. I don’t know their names because I don’t watch television. But when I did, it seemed that every other commercial was advertising some kind of erectile dysfunction medicine with some pretty corny commercials. And then I hear it’s not just a medicine to help those who need it, but also being used by men who don’t to enhance their sexual performance beyond what their normal abilities can achieve.
OK, so what I’m wondering is how you, as a woman, feel about a man, specifically your man using an erectile dysfunction medicine which allows him to perform, or perform better than he normally would. I know there are a lot of pseudo products being advertised on the radio too. I don’t think they’re considered actual medicines, but more in like with a vitamin supplement that keeps prostrate healthy, with the added benefit of enhancing sexual performance. Are these in the same category as Viagra and the like? How do you feel about these drugs ladies?
BTW… I don’t know if this question is NSFW or not. Those who listen to the radio at work hear about this stuff all the time.

Simone said recently and I agree, too many products for this problem with virtually nothing except HRT for an older woman with vaginal dryness. So what good is it if the male is ready but the female isn’t???
I think it is a decision that should be addressed by the couple (assuming the people are in a relationship as your question implies). As we tell the teenagers (who should be avoiding possible unwanted pregnancy) there is more than one way to make love and be intimate and they don’t all need viagra induced rigidity.
Mrs. rebbel can’t answer right now…
I was just sayng the other day that it should be illegal to prescribe Viagra to old men. Old women who want to sink gently into the twilight of their sexuality are now confronted by randy old goats. It’s not fair.
Well, I’ve dated someone who used it. No big deal.
If I were with a partner who used Viagra or something similar because he had erectile dysfunction, no. It wouldn’t bother me at all.
I don’t agree with its being used by men with no sexual problems, though. It’s a drug and should be treated as such, i.e. only by those who need it.
@marinelife – hey… some cotton-topped old women don’t want to go gently into that good night. They’re probably happy to know a few randy old goats. I heard a story from my town cops about being called to a noise disturbance where they caught a 77 year old woman going at it wildly with a 25 year old guy. She didn’t clock out of the randy department, hats off to her, I bow in reverence. (I also revere my grandma for going on all the ValleyFaire roller coasters at 76).
As for men using Viagra, I don’t have a partner at this time, but if he was using it for medical purposes, good for him! I would be upset, though, if he suddenly became lightheaded or lost his eyesight…
If my husband got to a point where he felt he needed Viagra, I wouldn’t care.
Nice excerpt
As I listened to my patients, I came to see that our culture had taken Viagra and created a legend out of it that went far beyond its actual pharmacological properties. People had come to expect that taking a little blue pill could solve their personal and relationship problems, no matter how complex those difficulties were. I heard variations on this theme almost daily. Men or their partners requested prescriptions for Viagra for all sorts of problems, sometimes with the barest of sexual symptoms: a lack of desire, struggles in existing relationships, fear of intimacy, or a desire to be a sexual superstud, for example.
from here
If a man was to take it to solve a problem that isn’t located in the genitals primarily even if he has a problem there, then I don’t want that kind of man. If he just had issues getting it up, sure why not? @marinelife Don’t make assumptions about all women wanting to be asexual past 50. They don’t.
I’m a totally un-needing 25 year old male, and I would love to get my hands on some for a weekend of fun or something :).
