The other day I was telling my husband how I don’t feel like I usually feel at the beginning of the summer. I’m not at my ideal weight (due to hormonal medications) and I don’t feel as attractive as I used to feel in my younger 30s. My husband then says “well imagine how I feel not being able to get it up when I want to.” It made me feel sad for him, and it also made me feel like maybe he does want me and he is just suffering from significant ED. BUT he’s literally used sooo many ED meds. He’s used Viagra, Cialis, Ruget ready etc and to be honest none of them seem to really help. He’ll take it and then a few hours later he’ll say “it didn’t work.” I’ve always been so confused by that…how does it just not work?! Anyway…this gave me a glimmer of hope. We’re getting ready to celebrate our 3 year anniversary and we’re going away to the beach. I would love for us to be able to be intimate once or twice during our trip.

To the guys…if ED meds can’t help, then what will???

Last year I found out that my husband has secretly been taking Valacyclovir daily for at least the last couple of years. I went and got tested for herpes and tested + for HSV2. I was in the “equivocal” range. This year I tested again (because of the fact that there’s so many false positives) and it came back “abnormal” or “reactive.” I’ve never had a breakout. I don’t have symptoms. So my question is…how long until I get the damn breakout? Anyone been in the “equivocal” range for years and manage to not ever have a breakout?
