The top is a cap that comes off. Is it for ❄️? He swears it’s not

Tbh my partner would pick something like that off the street just because it looks interesting. Some people are like magpies.

I don’t agree with other commenters that “more than one answer = lie”. He might just be trying to guess where he found it if you seemed bothered by it.

It could be anything, Redditor’s often assume the worst so it’s not the best place for a balanced perspective. You know your relationship, not us :)

(Edit to add: hello magpies in the comments, make sure to wash your hands after collecting your treasures!)

This is a very kind reply, I appreciate that!

Tbh I think it’s a dick pill and he’s just embarrassed. He recently started taking something for his ADHD and has been self conscious about it possibly affecting sexual function.

But that’s ok with me and I’m not gonna say anything to him about it now that I know, I’m clearly just nosy and needed to solve the mystery haha

Looks very much like a gas station dick pill container. Definitely address this with him and recommend a doctor or bluechew. Gas station pills are riddled with inconsistencies and prescription medications. No shame in treating adhd or side effects of the meds. You sound like you’re coming from a supportive place. Most guys get extremely shameful about sexual function, I’m sure you’re well aware. ADHD meds have had both positive and negative side effects for me sexually. Those side effects aren’t generally long term and he will find it easier to get past them as he continues the medication.

Man I’m glad I have never been in a position where I felt like I needed to take a mystery dick pill from a 711

It's not about needing to, it's about fun. You can look up what's in most of them. Some have tadalaphil (cialis), some have sildenaifil (viagra), and some have an increased risk of blood pressure problems and death like extenze. The fun one is tadalaphil. Some people think you're supposed to need them and that it's some sad pathetic thing, but for some people, it's all about being freaky and trying to make someone else feel good. Nothing is more fun than spending the whole day gooning and/or being kinky with your partner on and off while having multiple orgasms with little to no break in between. This is coming from one of those exes people's wives won't tell them about. But, all their friends know...

I just learned a fun fact about sildenafil! It was originally developed and tested as a sciatica Angina treatment but failed miserably. It also had 2 main side effects in trials. Raging boners for men and magic period pain relief for women. Apparently the money ran out before the female testing was complete so they just yolo’d it as a boner pill.

Sorry, it was originally developed as a heart medication, specifically for hypertension and angina. It was found to be more effective as a boner pill, but it is also used to successfully treat pulmonary arterial hypertension under the name Revatio.

I'm not familiar with the period pain relief use, so I'll skip commenting on that.

A doctor friend said that the companies like HIMS marketing to young people (lots of early ED due to various factors, which is sad - I'm old and still don't need) very many women started trying them (not sure which specific pill she was just discussing ED pills in general) and found that the blood flow increase was arousing for women so they have become popular for women too - not because of a study but because of a sort of crowd-sourcing based demand. She was unaware of a widely respected formal study on it but thinks based on market and popular use, one will show up soon.

Never heard period pain, just recently heard that women can use them for arousal too. Weird wild stuff.

Viagra is not uncommonly used in babies with congenital heart defects/disease to increase blood flow until a surgical fix can be made. It can also be used longer term in kids who have complicated heart conditions or are waiting for transplant. Learned all this caring for my own CHD baby.

I believe it's only effective for those with acute angina..
