Cialis, user experiences

LegacyUser

First off, -to avoid confusion, I DONT want medical advice, got plenty already.

Im 37 and have been using Cialis for about a year, as I noticed a definite lack of hardness over the previous year or two or three.
I havent been in a steady relationship bar one longdistancer for a couple of years so it has worked quite well on a weekend basis whenever I ended up in the sack with anyone.
Btw for anyone not familiar with it, Cialis appears to work for me for about 24 to 30 hours, - this is the normal range apparently.
I have since started seeing a woman who lives closer, so am seeing her more frequently, and she has a fairly high sexdrive,- great, cos so do I, but Im wondering how well guys find it to work in a live-in situation, or one where you see your partner several times a week.
Shes a great girl, and we see a future together, but I know from stuff she has said that a limp dick would be a dealbreaker for her, - and rightly so.
I feel Im a little on the young side to be pumping drugs into my body every second day for potentially the next 30 years, and am worried about total dependency on the thing.

What Im looking for really are user experiences, particularly in a live-in/couple situation, also, to hear what the reactions were from users partners,- positive or negative.
Women, feel free to give your opinions too, again, positive or otherwise.

Again, PLEASE DONT GIVE ME MEDICAL ADVICE cos the mods will lock the thread if you do.

Personally I think the right combination of exercise, diet and lifestyle and the need for ED drugs can be eliminated and males can maintain potency into old age.

Have you tried it without the drug since? Does it affect you for masturbation.

what's your general lifesyle like - Much excercise/do you drink or smoke much?

whats your height and weight? its far more likely to be related to fitness than age, at your age anyway, imo

even at 25 i notice how things in that regard can fluctuate as my fitness fluctuates

mickman

if she cant understand a problem that you are having then i would call her a "great " girl

i wouldnt call her a "great" girl

Ok,

@ amazingemmet, thats interesting, thanks, I must do a bit of research..

@ peakoutput & bottleofsmoke, Im a smoker but not drinker, 5'10, 13 stone, but not too fit at the moment. Used to be in manual work till about 5 years ago and naturally very fit but promotion has lead to a deskjob and I was never a sportsman.
It doesent affect mastrubation as much but that is in a very relaxed, non-pressured situation.

@ whoever was picking up on my gfs reaction and jumping in with the judgemental crap, She has no idea there is even an issue, and furthermore, as I said in my original post, she is quite entitled to choose a sexual partner who satisfies her. End of. Not relevant.

to be fair, I couldn't date a woman with zero sex drive, no matter how fantastic she was. That's happened me before. And i got out.

And on the other side, I wouldn't expect any woman, no matter how great they were, to continue a relationship where they couldn't be fufilled sexually. Sex, imho, is critical to healthy relationships.

it's a fine line, as you'll always have the arguments that there's other things you can do or whatever, but that's not enough for everyone. I sympathise with you OP, but this is clearly already bothering you. You want to keep her around, but you can't live a lie either.. You either have to carry on regardless, or tell her everything. If it's going to be a deal breaker, you're better to end it on good terms now. And sure you never know, she might not do what you think!

The limp dick is prob more to do with anxiety than anything else.
It seems that you need to be able to perform otherwise she's gone- and that pressure alone is enough to cause the ED.

first of all if this wasnt the point of your thread i apologise but

as you say everything is ok when your on your own so maybe its a psychological thing but you could find out for sure by getting back into shape a couple of runs a week and a few weight sessions and id be suprised if you didnt notice a difference in 3 months

excersise increases testosterone as far as i know so that on its own would probably help not to mention the mental advantage of knowing your in shape etc

just an idea as you say yourself you are a bit young to be relying on drugs

I agree. Stress and expectation will kill any boner. I remember going with a girl for weeks before we did anything and the night I was about to get some I couldnt perform because the pressure was so much.

there are lots of medical conditions and illnesses that can cause erectile dysfunction. its certainly not all due to lifestyle and diet and to claim otherwise is unfair and inaccurate.

Smoking affects it a fair bit. Some of the cartons government warnings even mention it.

Lifting weights in the gym improves testosterone levels and circulation(similar to manual labour) That could easily override the anxiety factor.

Reward

Cut out the alcohol, ciggs, and whatever else for three months, and stop ejaculating or keep it to a minimum for the three months, and you will likely wind the clock back to your teens.

The op said he was recieving medical advice and didn't mention he had any under lying medical issues, therefore it was logical to assume he was an otherwise healthy male. Given the further information this turn out to be the case. Maybe I should of qualified my advice by stating "for the general population"

Also I strongly believe that most the dieases and illness that cause ED, actually most diseases and illness, can be avoided with correct diet, exercise and lifestyle choices but this is a discussion for another thread

your post appeared to be directed at the male population in general, rather than the OP himself, given that you spoke about "males retaining potency into old age".

indeed it is.

i say keep going the way you are now for at least 1 year, make the lifestyle changes that others have suggested along the way - that will give you breathing space to see if it works

if you tell her everythign now then she is liable to bail out as the feelings ye have cant be that strong yet.

you will find as with every relationship that sex slows down a lot as the relationship matures and it becomes less important - thats the time you should bare your soul to her and she will be fine with it.

and at that time if you still cant perform without it then keep taking it, life is too short to be going around not able to enjoy sex - an awful lot of people take medication all their lives and it dosent bother them. if you keep failing then you will prob slip into a depressions / anxiety cycle and you could end up on medication anyway :-) , some of which will cause ED :-)

so keep going the way you are, make the lifestlye changes and then re-evaluate in the future.

no need to be taking them every other day though :-)

mickman

in a way your already reliant on chemicals at a young age - nicotine and tar :-)
