I am 45 and have lost a lot of my sexual desire. My wife and I have not made love in a very long time. She thinks I don't want her but I do very much.

I give alot of myself at work in high stress healthcare job as does she. Sometimes all I want is some peace and quiet.

I don't want to lose her though over this and almost ready to give one of these things a try.

I have read about sudden loss of vision etc. though.

Aybody with experiences out there? I do have HBP but my doctor gave me some Viagra which I have been too chicken to use yet. I am interested in the male enhancement stuff too but are they safe?

side effects of viagra

after taking viagra you may have some side effects, like - diarrhea, dizziness, flushing, headache, indigestion, nasal congestion. Before taking all erectile dysfunction meds (viagra, cialis, levitra...) you must visit your doctor. And DO'T TAKE EXTRA DOSES.
