We’ve had troubles at work; the work took all our attention and strength for a certain period of time and every day was a total stress. Every night we felt absolutely exhausted by the time we went to bed and of course it didn’t occur to me to worry about the absence of erections at that time, that seemed only natural. We were so tired and stressed that we simply didn’t have the physical strength and desire for sex. In about a month, the financial troubles were settled. At first, I thought that ED was a temporary reaction to that hard period and neither I nor my wife was seriously concerned about that change. But somehow it turned out to be permanent. That was quite a blow to my wife’s feminity, that was her first reaction. She was depressed for a while, absolutely sure that she was not physically attractive to me anymore and we couldn’t do anything about it, even though I loved her. Finally, I explained her that ED are sexual arousal were different things and that no erection doesn’t mean no desire, and offered some medical articles to read on this issue. She was calmed down a bit but then got seriously worried about my health in general. The decision to take ED medications was mine. Our choice was vardenafil because of less effect of the eyes. It works perfectly and the effect lasts even longer than I expected. Maybe I will reduce the dose. Of course, I hope it’s just a temporary fix for our sexual life and the potency will restore over time. I’m doing my best to achieve that.
