 Why is it suggested that you should not tell your partner when you take Viagra?
More Bang for the Buck A friend of mine offers a theory about why Bill Clinton's poll numbers stayed so high throughout the Lewinsky scandal: The news made it possible for serious-minded people to spend lots of time--at the office and over lunch--talking about semen stains, vaginal insertions, and blow jobs. And the people were grateful. That's probably because they're not getting all that much themselves. A recent University of Chicago survey of 10,000 adults found that Americans are having considerably less sex than was generally thought. Only one American in 20 has sex three times a week. One in five didn't score at all last year. If that's true, many of us could use a little sexual self-improvement. Not me, of course. I have been happily married for 26 years, since the age of 21. Deb and I have what seems to us to be a perfectly fine amorous life, yet everywhere I turn the culture tells me--almost mocks me-- you can do better!
 Telling them takes some of the mystery out of the situation and is less fun
 Viagra is expensive and you don't want the conversation about money to distract from intimacy  You don't want to be embarassed when they find out you need help getting aroused  Viagra isn't something you need to be honest about with your partner  Telling them takes some of the mystery out of the situation and is less fun
