I did not do that! I put it in the advanced forum, and then it was supposed to be moved to the medical forum. Hmm.
You are NOT being had. I am serious about this, but I am glad everyone is having fun.
Sigh. Maybe I should just give up and use anecdotal evidence to make a fortune selling nitrox to old men.
How do I get ahold of a mod to move it to the medical forum? Or should I just start a new one there and let ya'll have fun here? Nevermind. I just figured out the messages and someone else created a new thread on nitrox. So, anyone who has some real knowledge can respond here. I didn't actually think this could be a serious issue, but he brought up that it might be an indicator of an underlying health issue, so I am a bit worried.
Please carry on having fun here.
Is it possible that you are the one being had and that your husband has been enjoying Viagra whilst in Bonaire?

Look at the “upside” (ha ha),
Many men would be thrilled to have that problem and it would make a lot of women happy as well.
Take advantage of the situation, it could be a lot worse.
It’s healthy!
Giving new meaning to the term “extended range” diving...ha ha

Nope. Husband does not need Viagra at all, so no secret imbibing. I don't know what is normal for others, but he's never had any problems.
OK, I'm trying to be delicate here, but it's not a problem you'd be happy to have. He's uncomfortable. He had to get up in the middle of the night to relieve it. And he is a very large man, 6'4" and fit, and it makes him, um, larger, which, as a woman, is not always a good thing. It hurts.
Carry on!

It does not have to hurt you. There are other ways to relieve his discomfort, and I am sure he won’t complain.

@rsingler said in an earlier post (I have mucked up something when I replied), sorry)
Assuming the OP was serious, she is merely misinformed.
An English professor might confirm a relationship between NITrogen, NITrox, NITrous oxide and NITric oxide, but a medical professional would be hard pressed, lol.
1) There is no nitric oxide in sildenafil.
2) There is no nitric oxide in Nitrous oxide.
3) There is no nitric oxide in EANx.
4) Non-enzymatic production of nitric oxide in the body requires a niTRATE, which is also absent from EANx. It is a reductive process, not oxidative, and therefore elevated O2 partial pressure would not be expected to help in nitric oxide formation via this pathway.
5) Nitric oxide is produced in multiple sites in the body, inducing vasodilation, causing other known effects. Sildenadil affects the enzymatic process involved in nitric oxide degradation.
6) Suggestion is a powerful thing.
I'm afraid this will be my only post on the subject. Have fun, all!

In support of this while trawling the net to try and understand how increased oxygen could increase the level of NO, I came across the abstract of an article from 2012, which if I am reading correctly ( I do not have a background in chemistry or physiology) which says that Tibetans living at high altitude, with low 02 levels have high levels of NO. While visitors from low altitudes suffered a drop in NO in the first few hours and increased over the baseline as time went by ( 5 days).
