I'm certainly no expert in the science of all this but it seems a normal thing for 2 married people to enter their older years at a sexually compatible level. Then my husband begins to think, at 60 years of age, that he wants to act like he did when we were 18. So, he goes to the doctor and comes home with viagra. <br /><br />Why isn't this a conversation between both partners and the doctor before it is so readily available? I don't want my husband having the sexual stamina of an 18 year old. I'm going through menopause for Gods sake! My arthritis hurts, I have vaginal dryness and you send me a man with a chronic erection. <br /><br />Now, after almost 40 years of compatible marriage, I have to begin to worry that my husband might find some one more eager for his sexual appitite that what he is receiving at home.I wish this drug had never been invented. Or atleast, that physicians would only prescribe it for men who truly have a sexual dysfunction and not just because they are having some type of breakdown and morning their youth!
