Over the last year I’ve been undergoing treatment for a moderate heart condition which is now fixed thanks to a few surgeries. I’ve been on anti-arrhythmia medication for over a year now, and my doctor called yesterday to say he wants to change my prescription to a different one.
I called my wife - who works in a hospital - to tell her the news. When she came home she said she’d told the nurses she works with my news, and, while they agreed coming off my current medication was a good thing, they said the new drug was known to cause problems “down there”, apparently complete with a waggling little finger gesture.
After checking it out online (thanks Dr. Google!) it seems the nurses were right - one of the side effects is erectile dysfunction. Someone on a forum described it as “trying to pump up a bicycle tire that’s got a puncture”.
The thing is, the thought of it kind of turns me on. I get that the reality might be quite different, but the mere thought that I won’t be able to get it up for my wife makes me (currently) hard. I’ve long told Louise that I don’t expect us fooling around to always end with me cumming - in fact, I’ve told her that I like it when she makes me work for it, and tells me “no” anyway. However, she rarely send me away horny, so maybe taking the decision out of our hands would be another step down this road.
There’s also another (admittedly, vanishingly unlikely) scenario where if I can’t take care of her needs, she’d eventually seek the comfort of another. As I’ve said in other threads, the thought of her in a long term relationship is hotter to me than her having a night stand, and, far-fetched as it is, any problems with me might nudge things along.
What do you guys (and girls) think? Am I crazy? Is anybody in the same situation? How did that work out for you both? I’d really like to hear someone else’s perspective on this…
