My partner is 35 and takes viagra.(He has hi Triglycerides which we belive may cause him to have difficulties maintaining his erection during sex.) He only takes 50mg, if he takes 100mg he gets too light headed and dizzy and feels very uncomfortable. When he first started taking it (2 yrs ago) things were fine. Lately he finds the sesitivity in his penis is very little during intercourse and has a hard time reaching orgasim(almost never). During oral sex (almost 4to6 times a week) he reaches climax easier and faster and always has an orgasim. He has thought about takeing enzyte to help( we are still not sure). He's uncomfortable talking to his Dr. I'm very understanding and don't want to put pressure on him but I do get frustrated more than he does. I take pleasure making him happy. What can I do to help him?

Various diseases can lead to decreased penile sensitivity. This can include B-12 deficiency, diabetes or thyroid disorders. Simple blood tests can be done to rule out these options.
If the symptoms continue, infection can be checked via urine tests. A referral to a neurologist can be considered if the tests continue to be non-revealing.
These options can be discussed with your personal physician.
Followup with your personal physician is essential.
