I had my prostate out almost ten years ago, and since I did, I cannot easily get an erection at all without Viagra. I find that I can penetrate easily with the Viagra, but I usually lose the erection during the session. With pros that it is not much of a problem, because they work to restore it (my wife does not) But I still have problems in having an orgasm inside whatever I use. I see it as simply a cost of my illness. I enjoy the sessions nonetheless.
As to cost, my medical plan pays for 6 per month with a $20 co-pay. That is not enough to cover my hobbying, so I have another prescription I fill at another pharmacy, which costs about $15 per pill. In my mind, I just add that to the cost of the hobby session.
Do you find that Viagra, Levitra and Cialis helps or hinders performance with the ladies ??
Does it help to orgasm multiple times quickly or more to help the flagpole to go and stay up for extended time periods to pleasure your lady (or ladies) ??
Do the ladies prefer to see gentlemen taking Viagra, Levitra and Cialis ?? (Any good receomndations ??)
Any ladies who prefer gentlemen who do NOT take Viagra, Levitra and Cialis ?? (Who would they be ??)
Any recomendations on how to obtain Viagra, Levitra and Cialis by doctor in person visit or on-line pharmacy ?? Do in person doctors ask questioins like with whom and how often ??
Comments welcome !!
I can first hand answer this for you...my SO~ now ex~so is 51yrs old. Needed a little help at times. He tried all of the above. Got samples of all from his Dr. We tried all and he prefered Cialis over the rest.
Longer time available. Viagra boasts a 3hr time limit or so Cialis is 36hrs so you can take your time and get more of your $$ out of the experience with each pill.
Less heartburn and lower back aches with Cialis as well. Viagra also created sinus issues, congestion and slight headaches.
I do believe he needed a little help at times to keep things where he wanted them. Mostly I think he was more relaxed to know there wouldn't be an issue. Makes for the longer, playtime sessions so much more relaxing for him. It does help and can be a confidence builder so I say, ask your Dr. for a sample of each, and go from there with what works best for you.
PS
I guess I forgot to add...it does make our playtimes Hotter. Absolutely. I can always tell when he took what he calls his "Hotrod Pills". If you need a boost, I say go for it. I think for him it was a great choice. I had no complaints.

While I cannot compare between products, I can address Viagra.
Definitely better erections, and as Nichole aludes to, confidence that you wont be "let down" when called to action. However, the flip side is diminished "sensitivity" and sometimes impaired/delayed/sometimes almost impossible ejaculation. So a situation might occur where you should be experiencing bliss....e.g. a stunning looking, fun provider is heavily engaged in BBBJ and you think...."why I not "feeling" this more?
Ultimately correct dosing in crucial and often "less is more". I'm not certain but feel the same applies to the other ED Rxs as well as Viagra
I am not sure about that, it may be different because we were used to each other also. But he never complained about sensitivity. He did have issues with not ejaulating, but thats when he would hold back and wait too long to do so. I don't know if it was the pills but I think thats an issue of age none the less. I think it is so individual the ways these meds affect everyone different. There is some drawback I am sure.
These drugs do not help CREATE an erection. They work by suppressing the chemical PDE5. PDE5 is responsible for reversing the erection. They do nothing, directly one way or another concerning orgasm or ejaculation.
I think the loss of sensitivity can be the result of too much friction, especially of the head. This stems directly from the added stamina of the erection. In other words, longer lasting erections give greater opportunity to additional stimulation (friction). Guys with “new found” stamina naturally think they need to be doing something with their erection, before it goes away. Hence, it gets over used. Slow down, go slower. Find other things to do, other than hard or rough stimulation.

I have experimented with both Viagra and Cialis. Viagra gave me more of the stiff board erection I've heard women complain of. I prefer Cialis. I take about half a dose. When I took a full dose, my eyes got really red during the session and I had almost a constant erection when I slept for the next few nights. I have found that Cialis lasts a lot longer in my bloodstream than 36 hours. Up to five days. But that might just be me.
Sometimes 5 days or more later, I can still feel it so I think they just say 36 hours to be conservative. The drawback is that you'll be getting erections when you don't want to....
Agree with all above with these observations too.
I was able to get erection but not sustain it long enough for reasonable insertion.
Viagra worked best initially for me- very reliable if taken an hour prior. Slight increase in headache tendency
Cialis I initially didn't like- didn't seem to work as well until I worked with it a bit. Has to be taken 6-7 hours before to hit peak during sex, but really does last about 24 hours. As I built confidence, and as another said above- went slow, rested, patiently had sex without worry about whether it was working, now I prefer it.
I thought the meds were causing delayed or difficult orgasm but found that to be the case without them too- so that may be an age thing that is just coincidental with starting to have sex more frequently with the help of meds.
Interesting finding- I dont' need them as often now. Once relaxing and building confidence because of them, I was on a long trip with a friend, and there were days where I forgot to take the medicine and had no problem!
I agree with that also. My ex could have alot of fun w/out the meds at times, just not worrying about it I believe is half the battle. It is a confidence builder for sure.
What's the cause of ed? I went to urologist and he said that nothing was wrong with me physically...that the couple of times might have been stress or psychological... now I just use cialis as a safety net even though the doc said to wean myself off of it.
I have partial spinal cord injury. Yes, it has affected my bedroom performace but I still have slightly less sensation. I have tried V, C, L. My preferance is Viagra. The pills come 25, 50, 100 mg... all cost the same but the can be cut for more bang for the buck. (The blue coating is only cause they taste nasty, but swish with water just fine.)
The ED meds help if getting or keeping an erection is the issue. Use the smallest dose that works.
I certainly don't experince an increase in sensation.
There is a study on men with premature ejaculation where V delayed orgasm. If your woman is holdinga stop watch...
Cialis works for me.
erection was maintained in positions and under conditions that previously were a roll of the dice. repeat erections definitely noticeable through 48 hrs.
near the end of my annual physical, i just made a joke of trying some out. naturally ol' Doc would rather that i stop smoking and do cardio, but he finally gave me a prescription for a measly 6 pills - which truthfully is plenty for these past 3 months considering my limited hobby budget.
just the confidence of having Cialis available has made my life happier, and it sure is fun actually using it too.

Six pills is all that most insurance companies will pay for during roughly a one-month period. My doctor made my prescription for more, but that six is all I get when I receive refills based on this. I have often wondered what it would cost if I got 30 or so.
with insurance my ex paid $18 a pill. Well worth it. With Cialis it is definately. He would use about one pill every 4 or 5 days. It made a major improvement in his confidence. I thought the expense was well worth it.
With insurance, I'm paying about $6.50 per pill and use about a half one each time. Lasts 4-5 days. Worth every penny.
wow you have better insurance than he does I guess. Good for you and who ever you play with...lol

It's a complete and total waste of money unless you suffer from ED. If you don't suffer from ED the only boost you get is purely psychological, and frankly, I get a bigger psych boost knowing that cash is in my wallet instead of a pill I don't need.
And for those who do need it, it doesn not increase the number of "pops" you can do.
Don't waste your money if you don't have ED. Also, if you have a doc that gives you samples and a script for it, find a different doc that doesn't give out meds you don't need.
few years ago I had trouble maintaining an erections and reaching orgasm.
Then I cleaned up my act. Quit smoking. Dropped 40 lbs which wasn't needed. Hit the gym regular basis. Today I'm good for an hour of cardio and some weights 3-5 days a week.
Now no problems as before...
... in fact, I perform almost as in my 20's
its true the more fit you are the more energy you will have so that only makes sense. I do wonder though if it is an ed problem would your results be the same.
Since mine was only an issue about 50% of the time, I never saw my Dr about it, but I do have my own theories. First, the extra lbs just get in the way of the "task at hand", plus it takes a fair amount of blood to support 40 lbs of live tissue. All that blood can be put to better use elsewhere!
