Viagra, Enzyte, Cialis

[LovesToLick]

I'm in my 40's and have a friend in his 50's. We were talking and he said that he has to use Viagra on occaisions but not all of the time. Since I'm getting closer to that time in my life, what is the average age period that men need a little help in this area?

All men experience erectile dysfunction at some time regardless of age. Look at the boards and you find teens in that situation. The difference with age is that it moves from being psychologically based to physically based.

This can be affected by general physical conditioning (couch potatoes have more problem), smoking, length of relationship (a new friend sparks them up), general interest in life, medications. The last are not usually considered by doctors but are a major cause of erectile problems. Anti-depressants are particular problems but your doctor is so focused on getting you out of a funk, he often ignores side effects.

I have seen no studies on age at start of need. I will guess it is over forty but under sixty. Some doctors will give prescriptions to help early in the symptom stage. Their theory is that it will firm you up, make it better feeling, and get you back on the right track. I am in this camp; there is nothing wrong with having some around even if you do not use them frequently. Other doctors wait until it is a usual thing to fail and then give you a boost.

The life-style issues, medications and general boredom with life have got to be considered - by you.

Yes Brandye this is true, my friend, Antoine at only age 18 has erectile dysfunction. I have noticed that it is more prominent in older men (no I do not go out and look at them I just read statistics). If you experience any erectile problems that concern you more than you should be worried about talk to your doctor and be greatful that you aren't like me and are so hevily medicated for various psycological disorders (including insomnia) that you are not allowed to take any other medicines unless absolutley necessary.
