A male United Kingdom age , anonymous writes:

I am a 66 year old guy still good looking to some extend and I still feel strong attraction towards the opposite sex and love to be around with women, and I am still able to walk up and strike a conversation with them and I think I have enough charm and wit to hold on to them but my problem is I am forced to break ties every time I make friends with a woman when things become intimate between us. I am scared of the humiliation because I can no longer maintain an errection and it takes me a lot of concentration and effort to get it up even for a short time. My question is I have never used any medication such as Viagra before. is viagra safe? I hear that it can trigger a heart attack in the user. Please Advise.

Dear Abella, thank you for answering to my problem. You are right it is mainly anxiety from not being able to perform which is causing the problem. no I dont have high blood pressure or diabetis,but I do suffer from a little weakness of the heart due to age. I am not fat either and quite fit for my age.

I did try to raise the subject with my doctor who is much younger than me but unfortunately he gets too embarrassed to talk openly about it so I gave up with him. I am sure if I had a female doctor she would be more open to discuss my problem.

However I think I will try one of those herbal medicines which are on the shops and see if it works. also I am really interested to know. Is your husband's drive as strong as it was when you first met? or does this happen to all men. Thanks again.

Abella agony auntBe pleased your sex drive is definitely still intact above the eyebrows, the desire is there. And be pleased you do get an erection. For some men that is half the battle. And although I'm sure you could pleasure a woman with lots of foreplay, it's the anxiety as you continue with the foreplay and as the action hots up that you will not be able to complete things to bring both you and the lady to full satisfaction that bothers

you?

Please let me know if i am misreading this, since you are older than any man I have ever made love to and i'll have to wait a few years for my husband to reach your age. But your question interested me as such problems could occur as men age or face a medical issue in the future.

Maybe go along to the Dr and get a thorough check up? Ask the Dr what are the safe options for you to address the problem.

Are you on any medication for high blood pressure? Guy I once worked with had high blood pressure and found his tablets affected him so he stopped taking them just so he could keep his girlfriend happy and ended up in hospital. So he agreed to go back to his medication. And he was warned by Dr what else not to do/take. But then the desire to satisfy his girlfriend meant he started taking one of those tablets to raise the equipment and sadly died of a heart attack.
