I consulted a physician and was prescribed Viagra. The day after getting the meds I had excellent intercourse with my girlfriend, however after a couple of month I made a decision to strive with out the pill and failed miserably. So I went again to taking a pill each time I’ve intercourse. I get them on-line now so I don’t even communicate to a marketing consultant. I take half a tablet 20 minutes earlier than intercourse, with out telling my companion; nonetheless, I get harassed at the considered it not working and typically get coronary heart palpitations. I ponder if I ought to return to the physician and get an implant or one other type of medicine. My lover thinks I’m a virile man and could be shocked if she knew I took the blue tablet.
