I can get it up so why am I the odd man out

My sweetie has no problems saying good morning, or good night, or even good afternoon ;) My dad (and the fact that I know this should have leave a permanent mental scar but so far it hasn't)is 53 and has recently gotten a prescription for Cealis (sp?) not because he needs it but because my step mother is only 10 years older than I am and he thinks he can impress her with chasing her butt around the house every 4 hours or so all weekend long when he is home. According to her she has threatened to hide his pills from him if he won't let her get more than 5 hours of sleep a night and the worst thing a woman can do is let a man who doesn't need such medication, take it! I find no humor in this because I stole one of my grandfathers viagra once about 7 years ago and crushed it up and put it in my then sweeties sandwich. After the 11th time I was ready to super glue my legs together and fend him off with a butcher knife. Defeated, he passed out on the couch and I swear almost wore a whole into the cushion. The next day we were both too sore to move and I was looking for the nearest nunnery to become a member of.

Well my dear Piky...stop the press!!!...I thought I had seen it all...lolol...until now. Mr Ruby as you know spends his time at home whiling his hours away with me. Now...ive re read the Exchange and Mart...and can see nothing relating to erectile disfunction...or black market viagra... Then I peered into the Auto Trader and found much the same..so it apears that you have been reading the wrong magazines. But to allow you to collate the information correctly..heres my report.. Mr Ruby is none other than a tiger between the flannelettes. Mr Ruby needs no..repeat..no...encouragement in that department. This information was correct at the time the article went to press.

But is it now an epidemic apparently. Yea know it really DOES seem like some sort of epidemic these past few yrs doesnt it...I wonder though if its just that its always been around but was somehting ppl just didnt talk about... Either way..both the men in my life have NO TROUBLE at all in that department or wiht stamina LOL in fact the bf has more stamina then I've ever seen in my life..that guy could go on for days if I'd let him

I think the man in my life will soon be beating my door down and taking what he wants weather i like it or not if i dont soon give it up. lol it has been a while. P1ke i have never read those mag's.. i think they are evil!!

No disrespect to guys with ED, but this discussion is hilarious! I was enjoying just reading all the different ways you guys are discussing this: -Rise to the occasion -say "hello". -making the flagpole go back down -speech impediment -climbing to the mountain -only seeing plains -all dressed to dance but not partner -yeast is a raising agent -saying good morning, good night and good afternoon -a tiger between the flannelettes -the rise elsewhere is getting harder to achieve -Bugger it has melted -glad to hear things were upright You guys are too funny!!!

I wouldn't know, really, why these magazines feel a need to discuss male erectile dysfunction given their age bracket as you have indicated. However, I have two theories. One is that there are more twenty to thirty something ladies dating significantly older men than I realize. Therefore, regardless of the age range of the woman reading their magazine, the issue is pertinent to their lover. The other is that women can read about male erectile dysfunction and get a degree of male-hating glee out of the idea. Some women (probably with 'issues' of unknown origin) seem to find any male-genital-injury story particularly funny. (You may disagree, but I remember the response people had to the Bobbit lady's actions.) Reading about erectile dysfunction might be similar for them to reading about the castration and humiliation of a man (this by nature, age, time, etc..) I would suppose a woman who's angry with her husband could leave magazines laying about the house open to pages discussing erectile dysfunction as some sort of emasculating passive-aggressive insult that their spouse. Especially if she's anger, bitter, and had wanted some marital love last night when her man was too sleepy to be interested. The magazines could be a way of suggesting to him that she thinks he has begun to loose is virility. Lacking one of these reasons, I am at something of a loss to explain why the magazine would post such articles which don't seem pertinent to their readership's demographic.

i never beeen in that problem,maybe because of my family is near on me & all the love and teach us how to understand what will be bad or good in the life,those man got those problem most of them are rich people.

rotflmao Not a chance there Pike :))) Pops sure has no problem rising to the occasion :)) But Nana sometimes has a problem making Pops's flag pole take a hike back south again :)) if ya know what I mean. I mean when we were dating and newly married he was Speedy Gonzolas. Now after quite a length of time I am crying Get off or GET OFF rotflmao. (btw that is not a complaint.) Pike I do not think there is more ED now than there use to be. I think we are just more open to talk about it. I mean in my fathers day Men did not mention that sort of thing even to their doctors. There might be a slight rise but I do not believe at all it is a bigger problem now compared to past generations.

If it's any comfort to you.....I would surmise that most women....turn the sound down on the T.V. when these adds come on , ( as do I ) and skip over the adds in the Magazines to get to the Vitamin info. But thanks p1kef1sh I had a good laugh!

LOL No problem in my mans department there!!!

Actually, I know a few men in their mid-40's who would envy you. Their problem are tremendous, do to high blood pressure and diabetic medications. These are not men that I am dating, but I know their stories and am very close to them. When I hear such things, it hurts me. The ones that I know are pretty much done for life, due to heart conditions. So consider yourself lucky that you can still rise to the occassion, LOL.

LOL I think this is a subject that fascinates most of us though horrifies us at the thought of it happening to our man - probably because we are so insecure we worry that it is our fault , that out men do not find us attractive or sexy! My other half has absolutely no problems in this area - which really surprises me as I have put on a lot of weight and become very different physically since we first met! Guess i am lucky that it is the real inner me he fell for! xxx

Honestly, p1kef1sh, I think it's all part of the media blitz that conditions us to believe we have a problem even where none exists. I guess they think that if they tell us something often enough we will eventually start to believe it. I was listening to a popular talk radio show recently where the host brought up this very subject. He stated that men today are expected to believe that they should be "ready" all the time when that is just plain fantasy. As you said there can be many factors as to how readily a man can perform. Both men and women should tune out to all this pressure and just let nature take it's course.

The every day pressure of life can get to a woman too.I never have a problem though.My husband says I want it too much..lol...Sometimes the stress of work gets to him.I mean he can still well you know but he is just so tired he falls asleep first despite my best efforts...Whats a woman to do...?

I don't think it's any more of a problem than it used to be. The people who have that problem, however REALLY want help. I personally can't imagine how I'd feel if I couldn't rise to the occasion. Frankly I have a bigger issue keeping it down and that's an issue my wife and I are more than happy to have.

I know what you mean about hearing so much about this ED. I am a female who is nearly 32 and my partner will be 41 this year. We have been together for over 12 years now and he has never had this problem. We have always been very active together and it is only getting better with age. Maybe we are lucky but he is French. LOL

LOL!! Nice discussion...P1ke! Do you guys have the commercials in the UK too? Those are hilarious. It seems like through the media everyone is obsessed with ED...I just think it's funny that we take a pill for everything lately!

hi pikefish oh my we even get these in our emails, and look around for the male that is not there. I think its just a lot of hype as most men I hope can ultimately rise to the occasion. But sometimes life does throw a clinker, my husband survived cancer surger and had to live with a colostomy. But what really bothered him was the medications he was on did definitely dampen his ability to rise to the occasion so we had to be very inventive in our making whoopee, but we did make out so to speak, and without viagra as hius doctors said he could not use that because he had heart 'trouble. So we did manage and he was able to say hello; lol.
