Q: My girlfriend and I are very sexually active. I am very healthy sexually but when we have relations two or three times in a day, I’m a better lover if I take a Viagra. Is this healthy?
A: Every relationship is different in terms of frequency of intimacy. Some couples have sexual relations every 10 days, and others may crave intimacy daily or even several times a day. The key here is that both individuals need to feel that their lovemaking frequency is just right.
The definition of erectile dysfunction is the inability to achieve or maintain a satisfactory erection for sexual relations. While apparently that is not a problem for your first round of lovemaking, it sounds as though you are improving your performance with Viagra when you and your girlfriend enjoy subsequent intimate relations in a short time period. There is nothing wrong with this approach medically. The important point to realize is that intimacy is physical and psychological. Just be certain that while you are fine-tuning your physical sexual abilities, that you and your girlfriend continue to fine tune the elements that contribute to your emotional and psychological intimacy.
Those elements may be as simple as sharing books, discussing lifelong secrets or becoming wine enthusiasts together.
