Is it normal to have a delayed reaction taking them when drinking alcohol? I’ve been prescribed them for anxiety issues and this is my first experience with them, had a big meal and a couple of glasses of wine with my partner. I thought we would end up having sex so I popped one. About an hour later I was getting nothing aside from a few tingles. I know you need to be stimulated for them to work but we were cuddling for a while and I was trying to think of things to get me in the mood but couldn’t get anything. We were too bloated and sleepy for sex anyway so I ended up leaving. It was only when we started kissing goodbye that they kicked in, at least two hours later. By the time I got home I was stiff most of the night. Is that normal? It said on the label they should take half an hour and I’ve been reading on some sites that they don’t work at all with alcohol
Dude literally every erictile disfunction article all say limit or cut out alcohol. So it can't be good for erections.
Yeah it’s a frustrating one because every girl I’ve ever been with needs a few drinks to get into the mood. We only had two glasses though which the label said was ok
From complete inexperience with this sorta thing, I'd have to say 2 glasses you'd think would be okay. But the problem with alcohol is the blood thinning which I assume effects the erection.
and @Sealy I think it’s affects are different for some. I have not had any issues with alcohol and viagra together. It’s actually intensified my desires more, honestly.
Age is a factor also. I gave up drinking scotch because it turns out "Whiskey Dick" is a real phenomenon. It was a year later before I started functioning normally again. And it seemed to happen so suddenly, I've been drinking scotch since I was in my 20s. I'm also on blood pressure drugs, so I quit using energy drinks. Basically, using a counteracting substance will certainly affect the drugs you take. On the issue of Sildenafil, I only ever take half of a 100MG tablet. Yes, they do make a 50MG pill, but insurance only allows 6 actual pills a month (sheer bean counter stupidity). And yes, sometimes the reaction is substantially delayed, even if I've only had a beer or two. There's nothing like getting a porno-quality boner during a staff meeting the next day! (I slay myself) Cialis is another matter. Excellent for a vacation when you plan a lot of "encounters". But hardly practical for spontaneous boom boom.
I’ve taken it twice more since my first post and I’m having very mixed results. The second time I took it I’d had a light meal about an hour and a half before, no alcohol this time. It worked like a charm but I couldn’t cum no matter what my partner did. It felt like I had but nothing came out. I finished myself off about half an hour later but I had an erection for most of the night again. Third time I hadn’t eaten for several hours but I did have two glasses of wine again. I had no problems getting an erection but I kept losing it as soon as we started having intercourse. After several failed attempts she started sucking me off but again I couldn’t cum no matter what she did. Eventually we both just exhausted ourselves. That’s....not normal right? Is it time to stop taking it?
Having lots of experience with Viagra here's a couple of pointers. Its use for anxiety while originally intended to reduce blood pressure, is to help men obtain and keep an erection. If you are anxious about being able to get and keep an erection it should work as described. I need 100mg to keep a solid erection for the duration. By doing so I maintain a nice erection while having sex and the rest of the day my erection comes and goes nicely. Actually it's pretty easy to become erect a day or so after. As far as improving sensitivity of the penis it has no effect. If you are having performance anxiety you need other help. That is a deeper problem. If you got it in your head you can't orgasm and ejaculate you aren't going to orgasm and ejaculate. That's an issue Viagra isn't going to solve. I think what is having a larger effect is your head as in thinking you won't be able to perform. Thoughts like that which creep into your mind will prohibit you from having a good sex life. You seem to want Viagra to take over where your brain isn't. Get your real anxiety issues solved. I expect you wouldn't need Viagra once that is solved.
