tux agony auntIf you are planning on using Viagra, I recommend that you talk to your *offline* doctor first and do not rely on the internet to give you any information about it and how it will react in your body.

One of my exes took it occasionally and it was lots of fun! However, be careful to take only a small dosage. 25mg or 50mg btops/b should do the job. Take on about 20mins to half hour prior to intercourse.

One word of advice though: don't tell your girlfriend as that may make her paranoid as to why. Maybe one day when you get to know her really well.

A reader, anonymous, writes (13 July 2009):

At your age you shouldn't need it unless you have certain medical conditions such as diabetes or a spinal injury. It was developed as medication for high blood pressure, so if you've got low blood pressure it could reduce it further to dangerous levels. Further complications can arise such as priapism - an erection that won't go away which could cause irreparable damage to the erectile tissues and which requires medical intervention. That would NOT be very pleasant - hypodermic needles etc.

If the first time you have sex with this girl you have a knob like the top 7 inches of a broom handle she might come to expect it every time and might be disappointed thereafter.

Basically, you should only take the stuff if it's been prescribed by your GP after having been checked over and if there's a medical need for it. So to answer the question, it's a bad idea. I suspect you have a psychological block rather than a mechanical one, and if you ever wake up with an erection that's proof enough that there's nothing wrong with your plumbing.

It may be amusing to slip 100mg into someone's coffee and see him walk around with a tent in his pants all day, but the after-effects could be devastating for the victim and amount to a serious assault.

Danielepew agony auntIf you can sustain an erection after the first time, obviously this is not a physical problem, but one of anxiety and maybe fear. I don't think Viagra helps you with that, but it might, in a dangerous way. If you feel that a pill will help you, then your brain might actually react to that belief even if the pill doesn't really help. But then, you could become dependent on that crutch of a pill to have an erection.

Tell your girl what the problem is. Most likely they will be understanding and helpful. An occasional woman might even see it as an opportunity for additional pleasure, as in "Ha, he was afraid, and I worked the magic".

eyeswideopen agony auntSorry it my understanding that Viagra or any of the ED medicines will not CAUSE an erection, they only help SUSTAIN one. So if you can't get it up to begin with, Viagra won't be any help.

TheAgonyAunt agony auntI don't think you need viagra, I don't think viagra is for people who cant get an erection because they're nervous.

Viagra also wont solve the fact you get nervous the first time, I think that's something personal you need to work on.

You could try suggesting foreplay beforehand so you have a chance to try and overcome your nervousness and get more turned on so your more likely to hold an erection.

If you trust her enough, just explain your situation, if she loves you she wont judge you, chances are she will probably be nervous so don't worry.

Hope it all works out. :)

Google is your friend!

Viagra you take not more than once per day between 30 minutes and 4 hours prior to sexual intercourse.the dose is 25 mg to 100 mg.

Do you also have erectile dysfunction? If so this is a good way to get an erection however even after you orgasm it stays hard so its a bit obvious you have taken it! if you dont mind that however it means you can keep going which is always fun.

I dont see why this should be a bad idea if you are having problems and people seem to use it a lot so it should be okay.

you do get side effects as drugs do includ headache, flushing,blurred vision.I would recommend speaking to your doctor first before taking it however.

StudentOfLife agony auntIs it possible that you might not feel entirely comfortable with the girl before having sex with her?

I was having somewhat the same problem before I realized it was due of me not being comfortable enough and going too fast.

Some people who started using Viagra said that once they got used to the pill, they got an hard time to get an erection without it afterwards.

Since it doesn't seem to be a medical problem, It might be best to avoid the pill and work on the anxiety another way.
