Talking to your doc about ED is really hard for most men.

It's not that they aren't concerned, or don't have questions. Most men do. In a recent survey, well over half of men over 50 did have some concerns. But significantly less than half ever talk with their doc about their sexual issues. Especially ED.

If this is you, you have lots of company. Unfortunately, not asking your questions isn't going to help.

But it is hard to bring up the subject of sex.

Even for doctors. Doctors are people first. It's not uncommon for them to be just as uncomfortable talking about sex as you are.

But, they are the professionals. Sometimes I just want to shake them and say some version of get over it. But, I resist and hold myself back. Mostly because it wouldn't do any good.

So, its up to you. You have to bring up the subject. But, not by asking the question the tv ads all suggest: "Is the Pill right for me?"

It's the wrong question to ask.

You've just let him off the hook. He just needs to agree with you. And then the subject is taken care of for this visit, and he's off the hook.

Not so fast!. First the pill isn't right for most men. It doesn't solve the problem for most men. And, it can have really unfortunate side effects.

Just read the second page of the magazine ads, you know where they list in excruciatingly small print all the details about the pills they just proposed a page or so before. It's the one you can't read unless you blow it up on a copy machine set to 300%

So, if asking is this pill right for me, isn't the right question, what can you do to get your questions asked, and answered?

Start by not assuming there's something wrong with you, or you really do have ED just because you've missed a few times. No men, especially men over 40, can get it up and keep it up every time. It just doesn't happen. Like everything else, whether we want it to or not, our bodies are aging. Parts, all parts, whether knees, elbows, hearts, or most of the rest, just don't work like they did when we were kids. It's that terrible phrase: a normal part of aging.

And, even if it isn't aging, the most common reason this happens, not being able to get and keep it up, isn't medical and isn't fixed by a pill.

The most common reasons are relationship issues, a disagreement with your honey, feeling bad about yourself, too much stress about things going on with your parents, your kids, or your work.

Even when it is medical, you more than likely have other health issues and if you take one of those little blue pills it will trigger side effects you really don't want to experience.

The bottom line? Don't let drug companies decide for you the solutions to your concerns. It's their advertising dollars and your health.

Lets get real. An erection is not worth your health or your life.

And, there's lots you can do to make things better for both you and your honey. Even without the drugs.

If this is you, be sure to get a copy of sex therapist Dr Pat's new book...all about how to keep on love'n all life long. It's a resource for both of you, and has a whole chapter on how to talk with your doctor...as well as how to talk with your honey. Just go to ==> http://satisfyingseniorsex.com/keep-on-loven
