Keryn was used to not having sex. At 49 years, had noticed the absence of her husband's interest in recent years. Phil, 55, had obvious problems becoming aroused and physically isolated from it. Keryn Then he discovered something that would shake her marriage to the core. He found a box of Viagra in the bottom of a drawer in the bathroom. Her husband had barely touched for months, so why Viagra? Keryn immediately assumed that Phil was living an adventure.

He became suspicious, angry and upset, and despite several weeks of therapy and the steadfast refusal of Phil about infidelity, could not overcome their distrust. Ironically, Phil attempted to revive the passion eventually destroy his marriage of 18 years. The Heide McConkey says sex therapist who has treated many couples who have discovered that the blue pill is anything but "magic". McConkey believes that if the men involved their partner in the decision to resort to Viagra or generic viagra, these couples crisis could be avoided.

The so-called miracle pill tenth birthday in 2008. In the decade since Viagra (sildenafil citrate) came to the shelves, has caused a revolution by offering sexofarmacéutica impotent men the opportunity to re-take the reins. By relaxing the blood vessels in the penis, allowing increased blood flow, which, with arousal, produces an erection.

In his role as president of Impotence Australia, Brett McCann has also seen the drawbacks of "Vitamin V". While acknowledging that Viagra has "put the emphasis on male sexual health" and has brought some positive changes, also warns that may create tension in a relationship. "Men who have not commented on the use of Viagra with your partner may find some resistance on his part to return to being sexually active. There may be Wed-do even around privacy and the drug itself, "he observes.

It seems that many women whose partners have entered the fashion of Viagra feel too much pressure. Due to the high cost of each pill, many men try to get the most out of your money by doing multiple events in a short period. The increased frequency may be physically and emotionally stressful for many women. The man's insistence on maximizing the opportunity can overcome the lack of desire for women.

The discovery of Viagra in the late 90s caused a stir in the pharmaceutical industry, the media and the millions of men who had at last the golden key to eternal virility. Those suffering from erectile dysfunction could simply swallow a pill and see his masculinity restored before their eyes.

Maybe he has restored sexual function to millions, but also charge him with Viagra a series of physical problems, including loss of sight and flashing blue eyes, hearing loss, heart attack, nasal congestion, dizziness and fading. Although lack prove many of these links, there are very real social side effects.

A study by the University of Canterbury in New Zealand, found that women (aged 33 and 68 years of age) were concerned since the loss of spontaneity to possible infidelity.

According to Brett McCann, couples who have enjoyed the most success with the use of Viagra are those who have stopped to reflect on the likely impact on their interactions on sexual vigor. "If a test evaluates the Viagra man, I would advise to talk to your partner from the beginning."

McCann suggests that the process to return to sexual intercourse should be slow and collaboration. "The extreme intimacy can be a major change for a couple who has not had sex for some time. It's not like riding a bike again: it takes time. "

Contrary to popular perception, Viagra is not an aphrodisiac. Fears that man becomes promiscuous largely lacking foundation. "It turns a person into sexual maniac," says McCann. "The ability to have an erection does not necessarily require a person to have an affair. Viagra is not responsible for the moral choice. "

As one woman in the study of Canterbury: "Why can not they accept that life changes and that nothing happens if they can not get an erection? What is the problem? "

The problem, says Pamela Supple, is that for many of us sexuality is important, no matter what our age. "It's a myth that older people no longer want to have sex. There are many great people who have frequently until the day they die. "

For some this is an exhausting idea, but for others it is clearly an invitation to drink from the fountain of youth. Brett McCann sees as long as it is a shared adventure, Viagra does not have to have drawbacks. "It's a joint decision," he says. "It's not just his penis, but of the relationship."
