Unhappy Impotence

Not something most guys want to talk about in public but as it is affecting my relationship I just wanted to touch base and ask if others are suffering the same loss of drive and on the rare occassion I feel I have the energy not enough happens physically to allow the act to happen.

I love my Wife dearly and I am sure she knows it but like most Guys love making is a very special intimate time and we have lost that.

She still falls asleep in my arms but I feel I have let her down, crazy.

Irbesartan, Bendroflumethiazide, Duluxatine, Omeprazole, Movicol and Senna. Not a lot really. The neuro consultant does not want to try some drugs until he is sure I do not have Parkinsons with Lewy Bodies.

Most likely due to my high blood pressure not being noticed until a few years ago.

Thanks for your interest.

Yep heard of them all. Meds affect my blood pressure badly and my Doctor has advised against them. Sure I can please her when I am able to stay awake but that intimacy we have shared for over thirty years is sorely missed.

Thanks for your feedback

Thanks imark3000 for that insight.

On a serious note I will follow this up and give it a go as long as it doesn't make my BP fluctuate any more than it is at the muinute.

WHAT A WAY TO GO THOUGH.............LOL

Mucus is a natural source of l-dopa and as powerful as any drug. So I would think it unsafe to take without a dx of PD!

Default Ye Olde Sexe Shoppe - a patriotic tradition

This depends on both partners being in approval of course, but there are some very fancy electric vibrators - including some with remote control, which can be interesting when you are in control of the remote and there are a half-dozen different vibrations that you can set off.

The objection is that it is mechanical, electrical; but it can still be very uniting to the couple when you have the power of technology to make your significant other climb up the curtains, howling at the moon. Spend $100 to $150 on a quality device and your neighbours will wonder what is happening when all the electronic devices in the neighborhood suddenly burn out from an electrical surge. Tell them it was from a solar flare

Default I should know better....

And don't overlook the antique stores, Bob. I once found a 1950 Sears model with a 12 hp Briggs and Stratton engine in mint condition for $20! And there is still a lot to be said for the older hand cranked versions, as well.
