How Long Does Viagra Stay In The System?
Question: Hi,
I have been seeing my boyfriend for a little over a year now. He informed me about 6 months ago that he is on lipitor and it has caused him to have ED. So he takes viagra now. He tells me the viagra stays in his system sometimes over 24 hours and this is why he has random erections.
The issue is ...I have caught him masturbating a few times and is playing with himself every time he is in the bathroom (especially shower). There has been times where he took the viagra and I was ready but he was in the shower erect, but then went to bed, saying he was tired.
I am not sure how much is the truth or not. I am wondering a few things...
1-What are the symptoms of a chronic masturbator?
2-How long can you have an erection?
3-Can you get erections from viagra taken the day before?
I am very concerned, I don't want to grow old with a pervert.
Waiting for help, desperately...MMMM

HI
Thanks for posting your query .
1. Actually there are no symptoms of a chronic masturbator . But some of these which I have noticed in practise are --Excessive tiredness , loss of enthusiasm , feeling bored always , not mingling with people .
2. Coming to your second question , I need more clarification . Are you asking how long can a man have erection after taking Viagra or naturally ?
3. The effect of Viagra is for 4 hours , even if he takes double dose it may stay for 6 hours and not more than that. So I feel he is lying to you .
I want to know how is your sex life ? Does he ejaculate while having sex with you ?
Kindly revert back with answers for further discussion .

1-I find him often touching himself sexually in the restroom. I notice because he has an erection. He tells me its due to the viagra.
2-How long can an erection be maintained after taking Viagra?
3-I have seen him get erect 40 min. after taking the viagra pill and he was not arousing himself at that time. I thought that you when on viagra you have to be stimulated to get an erection?
We only spend the weekends together (3 nights)and we have sex maybe twice. Sometimes after his shower he tells me he is too tired for sex. More often than anything, I think he masturbates in the shower. I have walked in and asked him what he is doing and he tells me he is just washing but I have seen his penis is erect.
I am wondering if he masturbates in the shower then has sex with me later that evening, thinking he can last longer. Im not even sure that the water is arousing him.
He spends more time in the bathroom than the bedroom.
Last weekend we had his sister over for a cookout, he went inside and didn't come back for about 10 min. I went in to see what he was doing. He was in the kitchen acting like he was doing dishes. I saw he was erect and I confronted him. He told me he had taken a viagra and was thinking of me. (cough, I don't buy that)
I have tried to talk to him about it. He denies masturbating and says he is erect all weekend when he is with me. He told me he takes a whole viagra on fri. then a half on sat and the other half on sun.I am not sure what is going on really and I am very confused about this all.
ps. Yes we do have sex a couple of times during the weekend and he does ejaculate. I notice at times he seems to really be trying...like its a lot of effort.

Brief Answer:
Viagra acts for 2-4 hours
Detailed Answer:
HI
The action of Viagra is for 2-4 hours. But see any male doesn't require a physical stimulation to have erection . Even a sexual thought can make him have erection .
The two possibilities for his behavior are :
1. He is having an Erectile Dysfunction and for that he is taking Viagra and he is not sure whether he will get an erection on bed with you . So he goes to bathroom and starts masturbating so that he gets a proper erection and comes have sex with you .
2. He has no problems i erection but he is not getting aroused by you . So he goes to bathroom , stimulates himself and have an erection .
So in attempt of getting erection he may be masturbating and sometimes even ejaculating also in that case he may not find himself capable of having sex again .
3. He may be having problem of pre mature ejaculation in which a man ejaculates very early . One common solution for that is to ejaculate first once before sex and then go for sex , this will delay the ejaculation time .
You need to comfort him that sex is not a major issue but you love him . Take off the anxiety he has in performing sex . Tell not to take Viagra and you don't care if he doesn't have good erection , ( I hope you won't mind few sessions of sex with no so erect Penis )
Any clarifications feel free to ask .
