Serious question, Nitrox and extended erections

[FF / EMT]

Good lord.
Oxygen is a Vasoconstrictor
Viagra is a Vasodilator
Nitro is a vasodilator
You can’t take them together because you’ll crash from low BP

The fact you and are buddy or whoever is getting a boner is funny but hasn’t happened to me.

Ern Campbell, MD, who runs Scubadoc blog told us that while there are good anecdotal reports, there still isn’t any hard evidence.

Lol... I dive Nitrox and have also never noticed "hard" evidence either...

Came for the serious question.
Stayed for the dick jokes.

Are we sure the OP isn't just trying to get a rise out of us? Never heard of such a problem before. If it worked it surely would be voodoo gas!

Dunno, has this situation ever come up before? How is it usually handled? Please don't tell me I'm being jerked around!

You have a lot of balls doing this. But this thread was ovaries before it started...

Have never heard of this. Has he noticed any difference between different nitrox mixes?

In any case, you asked for a solution. It's obvious he doesn't need nitrox to feel well. Stop using it.

Does he notice a difference when diving on air between a deep dive and a shallow dive?

Funny jokes, people.

He's not the most attentive diver, I'm the one keeping him alive, so I don't think he notices any difference in air and nitrox diving. It's just so much easier diving with nitrox for recovery and top time, and in general I think we both don't feel as tired on nitrox. And since it's free on Bonaire, and we're both so good at getting our money's worth, of course we want nitrox.

On Bonaire the nitrox is usually 32%, which is the only place we've used it. We don't don't dive that much, and most of the time it's Bonaire, every year or two.

We're going back end of August, so if ya'll don't have any solutions, I'm just going to have to report again. He's not liking that I'm asking anyone, so I'm going to have to be a secret ninja.
