Some men and their priorities...
Posted: Nov 20, 2015
I see so many reports where there are men in their 70s, 80s, 90s on meds for erectile dysfunction...in addition to a plethora of other pills, which means getting it up SHOULD be the least of their worries.
I just did a report where a guy in his late 40s, overweight, serious cardiac issues, disabled because of all that, returned a CPAP because he said he couldn't afford it but yet came out of pocket for an implantable penis pump. Because, you know, sex is more important than staying alive.
Why do I let stuff like that get under my skin so bad? Drives me bananas.
Interesting subject - the way to a man's heart....
[ In Reply To ..]I have a friend who is a pharmacist and she told me that they cannot tell wives that their 80-year-old husbands got a Rx for "enhancing" drugs - and she said it is heartbreaking to see their 80-year-old wives come in for vaginal problems - and the wives can't figure out why.....
Just the list of side effects should tell you that sex is more important than life.
A man - Is not
[ In Reply To ..]A man unless he can poke a woman... one of the oldest myths there is. Try celibacy and see how long you stay with the same partner. If the only thing keeping people together is sex, it is really, really sad.
To a man - is not - My point of view
[ In Reply To ..]I have been married for almost 16 years to a wonderful guy, love him with all my heart. He has diabetes and I have fibromyalgia. He has ED and I am sometimes too tender to touch. We have not had sex for probably going on 3 years but he is right there with me like I am with him. I had more than my share of sex in my life, enough to last a lifetime. In my relationship no sex does not mean I am not completely in love and fulfilled in my life. We are up in years but happy as any 2 people could be.
I think we all have different priorities--sm - anon
[ In Reply To ..]My mother is has celiac disease. Hers presents with a terrible skin rash so if she eats gluten, it is awful. However, if she does not eat gluten, then no rash. Sometimes she would eat the gluten and just take the Dapsone. Never mind that internal damage can be done by the gluten that possibly leads to cancer and she knows this, but she is just not going to go completely without the foods she wants.
How many people will take cholesterol meds instead of eating a sensible diet. How many will undergo lap bands instead of dieting? For some people, there really are no other options, but people will do what they want and some people if they are going to stay alive, want to be able to do those things that are important to them, that make them feel alive.
Well, what is the point in living if you can't be happy? sm - In my opinion
[ In Reply To ..]I'm sorry, but I disagree. My dad smoked even after he had a heart bypass and wanted to go shopping with me every time I went so he could look at women. That is just how most men are wired. My dad was a great man, a very loving and devoted father. When I asked him why he wanted to do these things you know what he said? "What the he*l else do I have to live for?" You can say grandchildren, family, etc, but the bottom line is people get sad and lonely and they want to continue to do things they enjoy in life. If not, what is the point in living?
It is not unlike - the
[ In Reply To ..]mentality of the parasites who always have plenty of money for tattoos, fancy manicures, cigarettes, and lottery tickets but then feel they are entitled to handouts from taxpayers for food stamps, free housing, and welfare.
AMEN! - NM

I wish! - anon
[ In Reply To ..]I wish my husband cared enough to take ED medications or get a pump. He won't even discuss the fact that he has a problem. We are only in our mid 50s and has me kind of depresed that our sex life seems to be over.
And it's ironic because the cause of his erectile dysfunction IS - lack of blood flow to his penis due to
[ In Reply To ..]cardiovascular issues and being overweight. All he has to do is change his die. It's worth a try.
Drives me bananas, too.
die should be diet. - NM
