When was your first time using viagra and what was it like? I've never used it before and was curious about it.

Erections are stronger and longer-lasting.  That's about it.

I have a prescription for it and only use it recreationally.

You may have any or all of these side effects. Headache, stuffy nose, eyes sensitive to light, back ache  (usually the next day in my case), blue vision ( you see things through a blueish tint). I have experienced all but the blue vision. Advil takes care of the headache. Nasal spray works well for the stuffy nose. Sunglasses of course for the sensitivity to light. Bright sunlight on a summer day is a bitch. These side effects are usually gone 4 to 6 hours after I took the pill.

If you don't really need Viagra your erection could be so hard as to be uncomfortable for you and/or the lady.
It is true the recover time can be shorter depending on whether you need the Viagra or not and what is causing your ED if you have it.

I have noticed the effect of being able to get an erection lingers until the next day.

Some have reported here that the Viagra makes it difficult to achieve orgasm. I have not experienced this except once and then it is not certain that the Viagra was the cause.

I use the 100 mg dose. It is a prescription from my doctor.

I'll add here that it is not a good idea to use this stuff if you don't need it.

Viagra works well,  Best if taken at least an hour before.  
Levitra works fastest and seems to last as long.
Both of these two caused flushing (red face) for me.
Cialis takes longer to take effect but last way longer.  I've taken it Friday night and been ready and willing all weekend.  With less of an issue with flushing.  Unless you need quick response, I think you can get more bang for your buck with Cialis.
All three are the same price (depending on your insurance).

...but it doesn't happen every time. Cialis headaches were the worst and it left me hanging, literally, a couple of times so I switched to Viagra.

In prison, lol. He got 25 yrs & a $93K fine. Those pills he was selling were sugar pills & those who ordered continued to get charged monthly even after they tried to cancel their subscription. I was watching "American Greed" about 2 years ago and they featured him one night.

but can delay or completely do away with the O.

...can happen in any case.

No the beauty of these drugs is that unless you are sexually aroused, you do not get an erection.

The only problem with cialis and erection is that since it lasts for 36 hrs at least, for one or two mornings, you get a really strong early morning erection that can wake you up from sleep. Viagra has the most side effects with vision( so called blue vision) and such as it has been on market the longest.

The ODT form of Levitra (staxyn) works the fastest, within 15 mins practically though package inserts recommend to be taken atleast 30mins before.


All the 3 meds also prolong the time it takes to ejaculate , so it helps people with premature ejaculation also. Truly wonder drugs... though at a price and some side effects....

to dick size theads and clients dying during a date...thanks.

... is taking a nice long hot bath while under its effects or soon before taking it.

I've recently started trying Viagra...only taken it a half dozen times.  It really only worked well enough to actually stay hard one time out of all those.  I've had no problem at all reaching orgasm though. Two pops usually.  And virtually no side effects other than a tiny bit of light-headedness if I use it early in the morning.

In fact...I just decided my better course is to get healthier.  Lose some weight, exercise more, eat better.  I despise having erection issues so it's a good motivator.  Getting old sucks.

... is no more dangerous then using it if you do. All it does is block an enzyme from working that prevents normal blood flow to the penis when aroused. This is why it doesn't always work for everyone with ED. If your ED isn't caused by this particular enzyme problem, viagra won't work.

Also, side effects are different for everyone and just because someone suffers them one time, doesn't mean they will the next time. I had a bad headache after using it the first time and never since. I also had light sensitivity once. A few times I've had more difficulty reaching orgasm than normal, but that could just be the effects of aging as well. Usually, I feel no side effects at all. Everyone is different.

Viagra doesn't magically make your erection harder if you don't really need it. You might have the same quality erections you had back in high school. but that's it. You don't suddenly have a penis made of steel. You still need sexual stimulation to achieve an erection as well. It's not like you take the pill and get hard 15 minutes later from watching football ... unless men in tight pants turns you on. Everyone should really research it on pfizer instead of coming here and relying on a bunch of myths and fallacies on how it works and what will happen.

To WUNIT;
   I believe you've come to the better solution in attempting to get healthier. I have a good friend who was a smoker, overweight and paid little attention to his diet. He got a health scare when a family member dropped dead from a coronary at 48. He quit smoking and began paying much more attention to a healthy lifestyle.
   He told me not long ago that within about two months of giving up the cigarettes his sex life started improving dramatically ie he achieved erection more readily, it was "stronger" and it lasted much longer. As time has gone by, and the other lifestyle changes have kicked in, he says he feels much younger than he did before. Says he has much more energy etc. I know he looks better without the extra weight and his skin tone is much improved.
  While getting old can suck, it sure beats the alternative. Kudos to you for choosing the course you have and best of luck in achieving the results you want!

1. Sildenafil citrate "Viagra" is a drug developed for "circulatory" problems that was found to serendipitously allow more circulation to the penis. Hence treatment for diabetes related ills became of far less 'Market' importance.


2. It is NOT an aphrodisiac.

3. The amount of food in your stomach and its "fat" content will delay Viagra'sabsorption along with the acute as well as cognizant effects by as much as 4 HOURS!

4. "Flushing", light-headedness, "spottiness" of vision, and sometimes a mild headache can be experienced; Especially if taken on a dead-empty stomach. But a "dead-empty" stomach allows for the quickest and most "acute" effective absorption.

5. I've personally experienced a heightened sense of "exhaustion" after a session of Viagra charged sex.

6. Treat yourself to a nice, relaxed meal after sex and #4 and #5 will quickly pass.  

7. If taken along with "nitrates" it could stop your heart.  

The first time I took Viagra, I took it after dinner and the results were good a couple of hours later in bed.  But on the evening of my S.O.'s birthday, things were different. I drove to her apartment to enjoy appetizers and wine before heading downtown for a celebratory dinner. As soon as I arrived, I sneaked a Viagra so the little pill could get going on an empty stomach. Later, at the restaurant, we dined lavishly. There was a fair amount of fine wine involved. A little woozy as we left the table, I handed her the car keys. She drove home, and we hit the sack. The sex was okay. But sunrise saw the beginning of the worst all-day hangover imaginable. Not just headache but a don't-show-me-food-for-the-rest of-my-life feeling.

I had previously enjoyed events with much more wine than we had at the birthday dinner -- but without the Viagra -- and I had no hangover at all.

Do I have to choose between gourmet dining and gourmet sex?  Is there a middle ground?

Nikkey,

Yea, you even mentioned Smiling Bob about 3 months ago on another thread.

sunrosc

Just do a search for your posts and you'll see that you have an obsession on certain topics.

Even though many many of those posts were ultimately pulled (at YOUR request mind you)...the trail is still there.

So...what is your point?

I have used them both and I prefer cialis. Viagra didn't really seem to do much for me and I tried taking it 1, 2, and 3 hours before sex. Cialis on the other hand does great for me. The effects of the drug seem better and last a lot longer. No ill side effects for me other than feeling a little strange if I drink alcohol (guess that is why they tell you not to drink alcohol), but it is not that big of a deal. It makes me last a looooong time unless the girl is just super hot.

Check with your doctor about a trial sample of Cialis. I didn't ask, but my doc hooked my ass up. Seems the manufacture gives some docs a sample option where they write you a prescription, you go fill it, and its FREE! I got 30 pills for free in February and still have plenty. Now if you need more pills within a year, you will have to pay for subsequent pills (in other words, the manufacture is trying to get you hooked on the drug so you will be willing to pay premium price for them... you know, the same tactic crack dealers use). My doc told me that once a year has expired, he can just give me the same sample (did I mention I liked my doc?). The sample is only the 5mg pills, but luckily, that does it for me.

Hope that helps...

If there was a rule that you can't post about the same subject more than once in 3 months, this page would be a blank white sheet!

His old posts were posted under a different name!
But wait! They all got transferred to the new name!
Bwahahahaha!

And another thing CPA! You know if you don't like his posts you don't have to read them!

I'm so confused...what are you guys talking about?

And what are YOU talking about? You started a thread. Many people answeredyour question. Why the confusion?

Unlessyou are referring to the side branch of the thread, which broke off of your topic? But that had nothing to do with you, and your post here was a reply to your own OP, not to that branch thread.

One possibility is you are reading the thread in "flat" mode. If that's the case, it is easy to get confused. Switch to "tree" mode. It makes the threads a lot easier to follow.
