There was some discussion here a while back about taking poppers after Viagra.

Dr Danny said that it would be pretty safe to take poppers 24 hours after taking Viagra.

I was wondering if the same was true of Levitra.

Viagra's effects generally last about four hours after ingestion. Levitra's effects can last up to sixteen hours. Cialis can last up to thirty-six hours.

These times are approximations based on manufacturer's claims and patient reports. Everyone will respond differently, of course.

Logic would seem to indicate that waiting twenty-four hours AFTER the drug in question has been fully metabolized would be a very good idea. If it were me personally... I'd wait a couple days, just to be sure.

I wanted to give you SOMETHING to go by for the moment, just so you don't go ahead and do poppers RIGHT NOW if you shouldn't be doing them, but Dr. Danny should have the final word here...

Levitra, yes. Cialis NO (in fact, not for 72hrs)

Still, I'd wait at least 2D

My guys don't like Levitra, causes too much of a headache, and everyone says its a better boner with Viagra.

I always have to chuckle to myself whenever Danny uses words like "boner" given his medical background.

Last year, my nephew at age 6, while sitting around the table eating his breakfast, asked me if I got "boners" by looking at pretty girls. Sitting at the table was my brother and sister-in-law. What possessed my 6yo nephew to ask me such a question out of the clear blue sky caught everyone off guard. Before I could respond to him, my sister-in-law corrected him and said it was called an erection. My brother and I cracked up laughing. We couldn't help ourselves. The timing of my nephew's question was awkward given the occasion and the setting. I looked at my brother and he looked at me ... both of us knew we had used the the same slang term when we were that young too. But, this occasion was somehow different and I wondered how my nephew knew about "boners". My brother had this "don't look at me" look about himself. My sister-in-law just stared at my brother with that "what have you been saying to our son" look on her face. I just smiled and left the subject well alone.

I guess I just don't expect medical doctors to call erections "boners" when giving advice to adults. Whenever I get my annual flight physical, my doctor never fails to ask me if I have had any problems with achieving and maintaining erections since my last flight physical. I will usually respond I don't have any problems with my "joystick'. She just smiles and knows which "joystick" I'm talking about.

It ISN'T a medical term??? All these years, I thought it was....

(but even if it isn't, you must admit, it does carry a certain cadence)

Interesting. I always thought the appropriate medical term was "woody."

Also interesting -- I have NEVER met a doc who used a clinical term when discussing "intimate areas." I wonder why? My best guess -- the docs are doing what they can to ease the patient's apprehensions by speaking colloquially.

When the doc tacked a sanitary pad on my lower back to absorb blood leakage, he told me I was "on the rag." He also said the word "ass" and "tushy."

The same doc related a story to me about a patient of his who had a problem wherein he would have what the doc described as "wet farts." The doc then went on to explain to me that this meant the patient would shit his pants every time he farted. I didn't need it explained, but... He then told me how he admonished the guy to make sure he wiped his ass every time this happened or at least tried to make a run for a toilet if he had to pass gas.

I am not sure if this kind of dialog was a breach of doctor-patient confidentiality since no names were given, but I thought it was a bit unprofessional. At the same time, I also didn't really care all that much. I rather liked the doc and decided if he wanted to indulge in some eccentric ramblings it was OK with me.

Hmmm...

I've never had to have a doc look at my penis outside of a standard exam, though. I would be pleased if I ever had a penis inspection that resulted in the word "impressive" being used, but I kind of doubt this will EVER happen.

If a problem isn't serious in nature and can be easily treated, I think it's great if a doc puts a patient at ease by being just a little bit vulgar -- provided the doc gets the vibe that this kind of mildly coarse language is something the patient will find funny and not offensive.

I have never used the term boner to a patient. I will use the them "hard" or "soft" and I have no problem using "jerk off" if "masturbate" elicits a confused look.
And "okay, now I need to see your tush" is more humane than, "assume the left lateral fetal position, and spread your buttocks for me, please"

But I try to keep the conversation on as professional level as I can. As for discussing someone else's wet farts with another patient, ouch!
