Does Viagra help with that? ---

yes but only once. she got off and insisted on continuing until I did, but let’s just say there was an unequal distribution of skill-in-the-sack and I lost interest far too quickly. if anything, it felt to me like a charity deed from the beginning. ---

Yes, once, with someone new (and relatively inexperienced). Pretty sure I got away with it, but maybe she was just faking not getting that I was faking. ---

After a certain amount of time, you can tell it’s not gonna happen and your skin is just getting more and more raw, making it even more unlikely. In other words, yeah. ---

I did it once to get out of a really boring meeting. I meant to fake a heart attack, but I got confused. ---

Wow, I didn’t know it was a common thing. I really didn’t think it was likely actually. I can understand where you men are coming from, but why go through the theatrics? A simple, “Hey, it’s just not happening.” would suffice. Maybe it’s just me. I being a woman, must use that line a lot. ---

'course, I was young, in college and didn’t want to offend my girlfriend. ---

I can understand where you men are coming from, but why go through the theatrics? A simple, “Hey, it’s just not happening.” would suffice. Maybe it’s just me. I being a woman, must use that line a lot. Because it hits a woman right in the self-image. The last thing we guys should be doing is tampering with your sexual confidence – even inadvertently. No amount of reassurances that “it’s not you it’s me” or rational thinking is going to countermand that ding. ---

The last thing we guys should be doing is tampering with your sexual confidence – even inadvertently. No amount of reassurances that “it’s not you it’s me” or rational thinking is going to countermand that ding. Exactly, I even know guys who have faked with prostitutes. Just because it was a sweet girl and she was doing her best. Never faked myself, but have been tempted a few times. ---

I being a woman, must use that line a lot. I did it because my girlfriend has lots of issues, and not being able to satisfy me sexually would hurt her down to the core. I’m still trying to convince her that I don’t have to cum to havve enjoyed having sex. For that matter, I still haven’t convinced her that I can have an orgasm without ejaculating. ---

Does Viagra help with getting an orgasm, or does it just help getting men erect? ---

Well, there was this one time, when the girl was into pr0n and really wanted it all over her at the end. Fortunately, I’d been frosting some cinnamon rolls earlier that day, and I still had the little bag handy. She didn’t notice, and ever since then she called me “Sweetness.” ---

Yes, a couple of times. Just two that I can remember. MyFootsZZZ: Honestly, I JUST asked that question in another thread, the thread about stuff you’re surprised people don’t know. (I didn’t know, now I do.) Viagra just helps you get - and stay - erect. It has no effect on libido or your ability to orgasm. ETA: No direct ability on your libido, but I’d imagine a guy who suddenly can get high quality boners would probably feel more positive about sex. ---

Thanks **RickJay**! I’m ‘in my head’ too much to orgasm while having sex sometimes. I just can’t do it. I take meds that don’t help.
