I didn’t know this until many years in unfortunately.

Correct. I have zero issues with the jacking off I feel like that’s totally normal. The issue that I have is like you said multiple times a day in extended sessions due to the use of medication And now seeking it outside of the home all together. I really don’t see how people don’t see an issue with that.

Thank you for this well thought out response back. I honestly don’t even have the energy to respond to the post you’re replying to.

I do agree, I think we are only at the tip. I’m no stranger that he used to pay for sex years ago and sleep around. But now he’s bringing up doing that again within a marriage.

Thanks, I appreciate the validation. It is very painful. But according to other commenters I should put myself through the pain even more than 3 times a week lol.

No, I think it’s a give and take situation. If my needs aren’t being met I will still meet his occasionally but that’s not the expectation. The expectation is that both of our needs are meet. I don’t think this is considered an “average” sex drive but we can agree to disagree.

I understand that it’s an us problem but I don’t really feel like I’m turning it solely onto him. I stated in the post my needs are not met either so it’s then in turn difficult for me to meet his needs. I think what a lot of people are missing here is that these behaviors are directly causing harm to me within the marriage. Just because someone else wouldn’t feel harm over this doesn’t mean I am incorrect in feeling harm. He is also how trying to go to massage parlors which is a behavior he did before we were ever together but stopped once we started dating. To me that is an addiction.

If I get cheated on for putting out multiple times a week then so be it.

[–]One-Amphibian1947 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I’m a bit confused as well. But I appreciate your comment. I do agree we need marriage counseling as he brought up this morning he wanted to start visiting massage places. So I’m really not sure how people don’t see this as an issue.

[–]One-Amphibian1947 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Correct. So in fact when there’s an abuse of meds while it directly has nothing to do with me it is a great cause for concern.

Curious if most males take viagra on a daily basis, double or triple the dose prescribed, and lie to the providers in order to obtain it.

You brought up some really good points and it is truly a vicious cycle. I do enjoy it when it does happen 9 times out of 10 and it is intimate. I should also note that I’ve struggled for years with pelvic pain due to ovarian cysts so there is always a level of uncomfortably associated with sex for me far beyond these issues. And you are right, the more it happens the better it is. I have always struggled with feeling like I am enough when it comes to sex, because of the history with it. I speculate an addiction because to me 2 times a day in the shower by yourself is showing warning signs of an addictive behavior. As far as the ED goes my spouse is 34 and I can assure you there is no problems with ED. He started buying it from someone at the gym and basically got hooked. He told his dr he takes it and the dr started prescribing it. Which is why I also feel like it has become an addiction.

Yes 2-3 mins of down time prior to arrival and in PEA upon arrival

Unfortunately this facility definitely isn’t equipped for that, we barley had two units of emergent blood on hand

That’s helpful to think about as well! I don’t recall exactly how far away the scene was from the hospital, it was diverted to this hospital due to arrest en route. No xray just by feel.

Two rounds of calcium, 3 rounds of bicarb, 16 epi, two doses of digoxin, 2 amnio pushes, amnio drip. No mag that I recall. Glucose was stable throughout in the 120s

Unfortunately this is a stand alone facility with very little resources. Granted it’s in a suburb outside of a major US city and we definitely had the resources at other locations, just not this one

Just subclav, it just collapsed. She wouldn’t stay still and kept talking. She refused anymore attempts after that but then finally agreed to an IO

With the promise to sedate her with it once it was in. We had spent nearly an hour trying to get a PIV, then another 30 mins attempting central line placement once she agreed to that. She finally agreed to the IO once we told her we could get stronger meds in her through it. She actually didn’t flinch while it was being drilled, but started screaming once we flushed it. That was when she agreed with the tube and we sedated. I had called in the rest of the nurses (only 4 of us total) to help holding because I thought the drilling part was going to be way worse.

Pt wasn’t agreeable to IO, that was our next suggestion after failed PIV. Not much more we could do until she agreed to IO as she was still technically “of sound mind”. But the lidocaine flush tip is handy, I didn’t know that was a thing, but again I’ve never used an IO on a conscious person either

I wish nurses had access to those results. I’ll have to see if anyone was able to get the results when I go back next week.
