Has your DH ever used ED pills?

How common is this among men 50+ or so?

My husband is 67 and he takes them. He had some failure to launch experiences and, thankfully, he was willing to do something about it. Now he has no problem getting an erection and we are both happy as it lasts a long time.

Erectile function, desire for your partner, general libido and relationship quality are four distinctly different systems that all need to align in long-term relationships.

I have blood pressure that will skew a tiny bit high so I take 2.5 mg of generic Cialis every day and it gets me right down to 120/80, I started when I was 49.

Like the previous posters husband I had a few failure to launch incidents prior to taking my daily pill and I’ve had a couple since then, but all of them are related to emotional stress that comes along with a decades long union. It’s not a health issue because I wake up hard as a rock every morning, I can summon an erection on my own whenever I want, trying to connect with an occasionally disrespectful spouse and unresolved conflict shuts down the system.

Some men take it and it will have a placebo effect, what the mind believes to be true will become true in the body.

One misconception is that man takes a pill and he walks around hard for hours, pills will not work if you’re not turned on so there absolutely has to be some baseline of desire for arousal and erection.

I would bet that 90% of prescriptions are being used by men who are less than happy in their marriages and those that are taking it purely for confidence.
I have a friend at work who took Viagra by the handful, he divorced his wife of 23 years and took up with a 34 year-old woman and has never needed to take a pill since; I only found this out because he referred to his new wife as Viagra in a sundress. Brand new relationships can ride along on intense desire/novelty while the other systems lag behind and there will still be a very strong erection.

They’re gonna be selling them over-the-counter soon anyway so there’s really no big deal here.

I take them at 45. I’m in good shape. I run. I just got back from the gym. I’m 5’10” and 170. Don’t smoke, barely drink any alcohol. In a great, happy marriage.

A few years ago, my normal BP started creeping up to about 135/140, and they put me on a very small dose ace inhibitor. This seems like one of the side effects to that.

It felt embarrassing at first. It still is I guess. But DW rolls with it. And we have a good time.

Mid-40’s, he’s never taken them but I would have no problem if he did. I’d be glad he was addressing the problem 🤷‍♀️

Yes and he knocks the bottom out of me!

DH is in great shape and has taken a low dose since his mid 40s. It's like the male equivalent of lube, in my opinion.

The women responding about their husbands supposedly never using them and still having great daily sx in their 70s are trolls. Ignore them.

Around age 50, the ed issues become common. Talk to people who are realistic about the human body ages and take judgement out of the equation, if you want to enjoy your remaining decades.

Spouse started using at 62 - still going at 67, still using the pills, very satisfied

DH is late 50s and still good for a couple a rounds a session and multiple sessions a day, no pills.

+1. Look at the number of prescriptions for ED medication and you know most people posting here are outliers or liars. Or maybe it’s like women who hide Botox and other anti aging procedures. Don’t ask, don’t tell. Physicians start proactively talking to men about it in their 40s.

Yes. DH is 51 and has been on Cialis for a decade. Totally normal and it works for us.

I just turned 50. I haven't been popping up like a 20-something for a while now, since about age 41. I've had a Viagra prescription for a while now but I have never used it... yet. But that's mostly because we are in a dead bedroom. In the few times where we have been intimate, i've gotten by without it. Admittedly, it took some physical stimulation and wasn't as rock hard as in younger years. I'd like to start using it, though. I do admit that I am a little nervous about trying it
