Should a husband always tell his wife that he is taking Viagra to improve his sexual performance?

if they have a "real" marriage, then the wife should know everything about him already and there wouldnt have to be a decision to tell or not to tell.

Well you are not supposed to take it AFTER sex dude! I think you are a bit unclear on the concept of Viagra. It is mainly for us old f--ts like me (yeah I'm a user and I ain't ashamed of it!) who because of advancing age (I'm 65!) have problems getting and/or maintaining erections for intercourse. Most younger guys don't need it. If you have no problem springing boners and screwing you just don't need it! It's not a magic hard on pill...you  still need that stimulation to give you the woody. It does what it's supposed to for those that need it. If that's you, see a doctor to make sure it's okay for you...a few guys should NOT take it...but if you ever take it, yeah it will probably be a good idea to take it BEFORE rather than AFTER "doing the nasty". Hope this clears things up for you!

Viagra is made to work on men with decreased erectile function.  In the non affected male, Viagra does not medically enhance erections.  Side effects are still possible, visual disturbances, headaches, rare blood pressure changes (drops when combined with alcohol).  Basically, you would get no medical benefit and still take all the risk.  We deem this to be an unacceptable risk to reward ratio - so Viagra is not to be prescribed to men without erectile dysfunction and it is not to be used as a recreational drug.

You've noted that some of your medications are known to decrease libido and cause erectile dysfunction.  I suppose the next step is for the two of you to schedule appointments with your respective doctors about the types of medications you're on.  Do you still need to take these prescriptions?  \n\nCould some of your medications be having adverse reactions with other medications, possibly compounding your problem? \n\nIs there an alternate prescription you could switch to that wouldn't have such negative effects on your love life?\n\nYou may also need to get your pharmicist involved in some of these questions, as they may be better versed in drug interaction than your doctor.  \n\nBarring the possibility of reducing the amount of prescriptions or changing to alternatives, you may have to look into diet and natural remedies that would hieghten your libido.  Again, checking with your doctor and/or pharmacist to ensure there is no negative interaction with your current prescriptions.

Viagra! I'm 65 and a few years ago found I was having a bit of a problem maintaining erections during intercourse. No problems with masturbation or receiving oral sex because you don't need a full erection of either. Viagra did the trick and I have no problems getting or maintaining erections now. My girlfriend and I are both happy! Nothing to be ashamed about...a very common situation for guys as they get older. A couple of other drugs, Cialis and Levitra work pretty much the same way. If you have the problem, discuss it with your doctor. Don't get ripped off by web purchases...it's more expensive and may even be phony pills. There are a few people that shouldn't take these drugs...it can kill you if you are using nitrite drugs for your heart for example! For the majority of guys it's okay and the doctor will give you a sample pack and a prescription. Side effects are usually minor and temporary...a flushed face, blurred vision, headaches for some (none seem to apply to me). Biggest negative is the cost of pills...$8 to $10 a pop, regardless of the dosage...but it's worth it for a better sex life. Some (but not all) prescription drug plans even cover it! Younger guys, you really don't need it...it's not a magic b---r pill...you still need that manual or visual stimulation to get that erection. It's also one of the most overused drugs in history!

Viagra dilates all the arteries in the body.  Since the penis gets more blood, it is more likely to become erect.\n\nThis is why individuals who take other medications that dilate the blood vessels of the body (notably nitrates) should not take viagra.\n\nViagra is fairly short acting (maybe half an hour to an hour - results vary individually), so should only be taken before it's effects are required.\n\nInterestingly enough, this dilation property was why viagra was originally developed to be an anti-hypertensive medication, until test subjects noted it's "other" effect.

I don’t know in the specific but certainly it is useless for the purpose you think.\nIt’s not a stimulating drug! \nYou’re not a man that need more blood flood in the penis!\nIt increases the blood circulation in general and in my opinion, it should be a bigger risk during the female period! \nWhy should a woman take Viagra then?

First of all, you have added to the complexities of your situation by cheating on your husband.  To bring that into the open will further damage his mental state... That is , the depression.  At this point, I would wait to confess, and focus on his current situation.  This may or may not be the best advice.  It just seems that telling him would not do much for the situation right now.\n\nChronic pain, is a difficult thing.  I have dealt with it, and I can speak from experience, it is easy to crawl into a shell so to speak..  \nThe answers are simple to discuss, but to do them is another story. And success rates vary.\nYou did not address the cause of his chronic pain.. but.\n\nFirst, he needs to start exercising to the level that is comfortable.\nSecond, he needs to eat a diet that will support healing.\nThird, with his doctor, he needs to find another therapy that does not effect the physical issues you describe.\n\nIf he is on pain medication such as Vicodin, or Oxycontin... His pain may be emotionally created to justify taking the pills.  Addiction is a strong opponent to change.\n\nHe has to make some decisions, and you have to support him by both suggestion and coping through this tough time.\n\nCounseling might help with the depression, and you might consider going with him.\n\nAgain, this is a long discussion, and is best handled by a professional, which he needs to enlist the help of.\n\nDon't let things ride.  Make him confront the problem and address the ideas of what can make his quality of life better, and hence yours.

i know someone that is in the exact same situation as you and it sucks for her too. since getting pregnant is his big worry -tell him you are getting on birth control -if there is no sex after getting on birth control -there is obviuosly something else wrong-my friend's husband had to start using viagra after getting off drugs -because drugs messed up his sex drive and it took her forever to get that he had a problem with a erection for months-becuase it was embarrsing to him -all you can do is ask and if that still does not work you should find someone who wants to give it up to you

My only experience is with Viagra, and it worked like it was supposed to. I wouldn't be afraid to try the others though.

Viagra is the pill used for the treatment of Erectile Dysfunction.\n\nViagra works by improving a man's response to sexual stimulation, increases blood flow to the penis, and allows him to lead a normal sex life. Viagra works as quickly as 30 minutes and works for at least 4 hours.

Unless things have changed, when you are in a marriage, yes, the doctor can tell your spouse.\n\nAccoording to:  http://www.alp.org.za/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=45&DC100SID=0907b535c517bcaebf0a0987aae76e68\nWhen can a health care worker tell your sexual partner? \n\nA health care worker may only tell your sexual partner about your HIV status when:\nThe sexual partner is clearly known and identifiable – in other words, a specific person, eg “your husband William”.\nThe sexual partner is at risk of being infected with HIV by you, and you have refused to inform the partner of your HIV status or you have refused to have safer sex.\nYou have been counselled on the need to inform your sexual partner or have safer sex.\nThe health care worker has told you of your duty to protect your sexual partners.\nThe health care worker has warned you that if you do not inform your sexual partner or have safer sex, then the health care worker will have to breach confidentiality.\n\nIf someone is HIV+ and doenn't tell their spouse, they are the lowest of low.  How unethical to infect someone without telling them.  That would require no conscience and that person would be a sociopath...only concerned with themselves and not others.
