Partners, too, give thumbs up to Levitra

Monday, August 25th, 2008

Levitra not only enables men with erectile dysfunction (ED) to engage successfully in sexual intercourse, it also significantly improves partner satisfaction.

“I think that over the years, trials of erectile dysfunction have not attributed enough consideration to the couple component. Our new trial shows that successful therapy for erectile dysfunction with Levitra benefits both partners,” Dr. David Edwards said at the meeting here of the European Urology Association.

To further examine this aspect of treatment, Edwards of White House Surgery, Chipping Norton, UK, and his colleagues randomly assigned 260 men with erectile dysfunction to Levitra or an inactive “placebo” pill. Every 4 weeks over the 12-week study, the men completed questionnaires relating to effectiveness, and they and their partners answered questions about treatment satisfaction.

As First-line Erectile Dysfunction Treatment for Men, Levitra Provides Sexual Satisfaction for Couples

In this first study of its kind in men with erectile dysfunction who had not previously been treated with a phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor, 81% of men who took Levitra (vardenafil) reported improved erections (81% with Levitra vs 30% who took a placebo; p<0.0001). 78% of men were able to maintain their erections to complete intercourse (known as SEP3, 78% with Levitra vs 41% with placebo, p<0.0001). Levitra is a couple’s solution, couples reported that the man’s treatment with Levitra significantly improved confidence (64% vs 41% for men; 60% vs 37% for partners), pleasure (67% vs 44% for men; 64% vs 38% for partners) and satisfaction with erection (60% vs 28% for men; 58% vs 27% for partners), orgasm (60% vs 32% for men; 56% vs 32% for partners) and with Levitra itself (62% vs 31% for men; 58% vs 30% for partners; all p<0.0001).

This 12-week, multicentre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled study involved 260 men aged 18 years or older with ED for more than 6 months. The starting dose of vardenafil was 10 mg, which could be titrated to 5 mg or 20 mg. Two of the primary endpoints were response to the Global Assessment Question (GAQ, ‘Has the treatment you have been taking improved your erections?’) and positive response to SEP3 “Did you maintain your erection long enough to complete intercourse?”. The secondary efficacy measure included men and partners responses to questions on the Treatment Satisfaction Scale (TSS)

I’m a new Levitra user, myself.  I have been taking it for about a month now, but the difference it has made in that month is shocking.  Most people i hear that talk about Levitra talk about how it has made them feel young again or made them feel re-born or something.  But for me it’s different.  I’ve had troubles performing since the very beginning, and i feel like Levitra has given me a proper start on life.

I remember it like it was yesterday.  The first love of my life was a great young girl i met in high school.  Her name was Erin.  We started out slowly, you know, we went on dates here and there.  Movies and stuff like that.  Before i knew it things got pretty serious.  I had never had sex before and i didn’t have much experience with women.  But i felt like it was time to either do or die.  I felt like the point had come in our relationship where we would either get more intimate, or break up.  I of course wanted to continue because i really loved this girl.  So one day after a date we drove out to the park.  It was one of those places that all the teenagers went to make out.  I think there’s one in every town.  We got to kissing and making out, and it was pretty hot.  But then something terrible happened, i got scared and nervous because i’d never done this before.  I felt like everything shut down, and i lost my erection.  Erin didn’t notice, but then when she tried to pleasure me it just spoiled the mood. I was so embarrassed, and that only made it worse.  I apologized and tried to make excuses.  She didn’t seem pleased.  I mean, she wasn’t mad at me or anything, but she just didn’t say much.  I didn’t know what to think, but i knew she was disappointed.  Things were never the same after that.  She treated me differently from then on, and we saw eachother less and less.  I knew things were over already before she told me she wanted to end it.  She told me i was a sweet guy, and that made it hurt even more.  I didn’t want to be a sweet guy, i wanted to be a strong, powerful, masculine man.  The problems with erection i was having made that impossible.

I went from relationship to relationship in the following years, and to my horror i always had the same trouble the first time things got hot and heavy with each girl.  I just couldn’t do it.  I eventually became cynical and jaded, and even more insecure than i was before.  I found it difficult to face women anymore, and i stopped dating for years.  I was never so unhappy.  I had heard about Levitra from a number of places.  It was on tv, friends were talking about it, and i saw ads for it on the internet.  I had always thought that Levitra was for people who were older, you know, people who were married and were too old to get it up.  I didn’t think that it could help me.  But i heard that it could be prescribed to people like myself that had psychological problems.  I went to the doctor and got a 5 mg dose, which i heard is a low dose.  And you know, that’s all it took.  I tried it on my own, just for the hell of it and it worked like a charm.  I felt so hopeful and ready to take on the world, and it showed in my personality and my outlook.  Women noticed too.  I had the courage finally to start a relationship, and i have.  Levitra has helped me to perform with my latest girlfriend in ways i never was before with anyone else.  My life is different now, and so much more exciting.
