With the media hype surrounding Viagra, the relationship between couple with erectile dysfunction has undergone dramatic upheavals. A sea change can be seen in the outlook of the couples on their relationship, sexual and otherwise. Stories of distraught women appalled at the attitude of their partners after taking Viagra are doing the rounds. In many instances, the man goes for a younger or new partner, once his virility is regained. This might create more problems to a couple than helping them in cementing their old ties.

Many questions remain to be answered regarding the psychological condition of impotent men. We need to see the situation of the couple, before Viagra enters the scene. Some couple still enjoys marital bliss in spite of the impotency problem of the male partner. But most of the time, a complacency grows up in the relationship due to unfounded fears on the part of the man. He feels that he is not wanted anymore due to his failure to perform in bed. This can drive him to take up extreme steps, once he gets back his manhood.

Due to the underlying fear that he is no longer acceptable to his partner, he immediately goes in the search of a new partner. It has also more to do with his feelings of guilt. He is ashamed of his underperformance (or no performance). He no longer enjoys the level of sexual compatibility with his partner. Viagra thus drives men to new sexual partners.

Looking for a younger partner is the result of his hurt pride or ego. During the period of impotency, the larger than life ego of a man can be bruised to a great extent. So, the moment he takes Viagra, he goes to vent out all his sexual energy to younger women, much to the frustration and chagrin of his female partner. He feels that it is a fitting reply to all those snide remarks and malicious passes he received, when he was impotent. Not only that, he likes to try out his new found virility on younger partners who possess vibrant sexual prowess.

Many psychologists are of the opinion that the point of termination of a couples sex life is very similar to the abrupt end of a sexual session after the man gets his orgasm. The direction of the couples relationship after impotency depends a lot on the male partner, just like the sexual act. He feels that everything is over, once he is rendered impotent. So, even with Viagra, the thought of experiencing the sexual spark and chemistry of old is rather far-fetched.

Men also fail to get over their image of being impotent. Once they take Viagra, they suddenly act like a bitch on heat. Sex is uppermost on their mind and they try to consummate before the stipulated time of four hour passes away. Even when they have gotten over their impotency, they still have no confidence to play an active role in the sexual game, without Viagra. They become totally dependent and reliant on this ED drug.

Viagra is the best way to get over erectile dysfunction for a man. But Viagra alone cannot help in getting back to the old bond and relationship of the couple. The female partners may initiate steps to attend sexual therapy for erectile dysfunction along with their men. Such sessions might instill a sense of belonging to both the partners, even in the absence of sex. Sexual therapy, along with Viagra will surely help them in getting back to their old ways.
