Start

I am 75 and my husband is 80. He’s been using Viagra for the last 5 years. The problem is that he enjoys it too much, and frankly, I need a rest. It’s not that I don’t want sex – I’d just prefer that he not be so, you know, vigorous. How do I get him to stop taking it? If I hide his pills he just gets more.

Once the magic blue genie is out of the pill bottle, it’s difficult to get it back in. It’s unlikely that your husband will give Viagra up entirely. One tack would be to inform him that until the drug companies come up with a female equivalent, he will have to moderate himself. Or you could explain that while you enjoy his amorousness, you really prefer to cuddle most evenings. Encourage him to take up some hobbies into which he can channel his “energies”. Perhaps he’ll wear himself out and fall asleep before he has a chance to take his nightly dose.
