Ladies, ED is very personal with us guys and I can see where it could be a problem we don't anyone to know about, even our wives. If the wife doesn't know and he's been faithful and using he's going to be embarrassed, ashamed and threatened all at one time. If innocent he'll feel trapped when confronted. Women need to remember we guys are just an extension of our penises and we treasure our little buddies.

Come to think of it if I wanted to hide something from my wife where would be the last place she would ever look? Yeah, I would put it in my travel bag. It's in the bathroom, it's handy and it is the very last place she would ever look.
First hand experience here. I found a bottle of Viagra in my DH's travel bag too about 4 years ago. To say that I was "on the warpath" is a major understatement. I accused him of cheating and definately let him know exactly what was on my mind. His initial reaction was about the same as the OP's friend's husband. At first I was a "snoop" and a lot of other descriptive names I won't mention here . I thought that our marriage was over at that point but I'm glad that we both calmed down enough to discuss it rather than scream about it. Turns out that some other meds DH was on were interferring with his "performance abilities". DH was too embarassed to tell me he was having "problems". He thought I would think he wasn't attracted to me anymore because of these problems or that he was less of a man. Our marriage has always been solid and trust has always been an important part of it. He has never given me cause before or since to think he would cheat or was cheating. To the OP - what the guy was doing with it would depend a lot on his character and the strength of his marriage. I just wanted to throw in there that it COULD be something innocent.

Why would any decent man need to "hide" anything from his wife? Regardless of what it is. You'd lose her trust for one thing. And without trust...you've lost your marriage. It's a stupid move.

Exactly how men think and to have to tell the wife of many years you "need help"? Ladies, it is important to recognize when your man "can't perform" you are dealing with the reasoning mind of a terrified six year old and could be one of the last things your man will want to share with you.

Be careful, I wouldn't trash this marriage to quickly.

Yeah, well, it was in his travel bag!

How do you explain that one. He needs it on business trips? If it's truly for the wife, that hide it under the mattress or something.

I am having a HARD TIME imagining that a 50 years old man in the middle of a decades-old marriage (what haven't they seen about each other?) - would try to hide this one thing.

When my DH needed to take HBP pills, the first thing that came out of his mouth is that his doctor said that these pills may decrease his ability.

I agree! When I first caught my "D"H with condoms (we didn't use them) he made some fishey excuse for having them... and then stopped using them but kept on cheating!

This brought me to think about where I would hide something I didn't want my wife to know about. It would be my travel bag.

hidden away plus under another persons name is not good.

Can't figure that one out either. If he didn't care about her enough to not have an affair (or whatever) then why not tell her he can't, get the prescription filled and hide it in plain sight?

I would also have trouble with the over reaction to finding it as well. I know one poster said her hubby did the same thing and all was well but I would feel better if the person just gott red in the face and said gee I am sooo embarrassed I just couldn't tell you. but a man that travels, it is in his travel bag, under a another persons name and gets mad, tried to turn it around by accusing the wife of snooping is pretty much busted in my book
