I used both I prefer the longer lasting Cialis but chose viagra for the lower cost, and since I don’t have someone which who we are not together long enough that works fine. Both give me a headache and the dosage affects how serious it is.
I have the script for it but admittedly will skip them on most days when I know we will be too busy to even feel like anything then take the extra when we have 'time'. I feel like 15-20mg is a good range for viagra style hardness with less side effects. Viagra gives me killer headaches, lower back aches, and slightly blurred vision. Cialis >25 will give me a pretty stuffy nose that I can't clear and occasionally I'll get a middle of the night migraine that wakes me up.
Ninja1173, As for me, I use Cialis. It takes some time to dial in the dosage. I am just like you, I don’t take it every day. But because we lead an active sex life with others on occasions I will start a 2.5 milligram dose several days before play. No headaches on low dose. Then on the actual day or weekend of play, I add 10 milligrams. This has proven effective with very little to no side effects. On weekend play, I can get a erection almost at will. My problem is that I run out of ejaculate and have to recharge. I am 68.
Yes, I find Cialis ( I use the generic version Tadalafil) at 5 mg works wonders for me. I don't take it daily but mostly on Friday,Sat and Sunday when we are most likely to have sex. Did any of your female partners tried these medications? If so, did they find any significant enhancement of clitoral erection, vaginal wetness and increased genital sensations?
I don’t like taking meds in general. With viagra I’ve had the same side effects - flush, congestion, a little irritable (probably because of the physical side effects) but it works really well. I have a pretty big stash of the but I actually prefer a metal cock ring.
I have a prescription for viagra but only use it if I am with the twentysomethings. The wife, fwb and fb and now my new fb I can fuck and cum up to four times a day. Im 61 work out and eat right. The twenty somethings like to be pumped and fucked for extended periods so I need to fuck, cum and stay hard or get hard again fast to repeat.
I use the Cialis generic version… Tadalifil …. It’s supposed to work for 36 hours but I’ve had it work for me up to 4 days. I don’t get stuffy nose or headaches like I did with Viagra.
I take the 5mg daily. I am 61 now and been taking them about a year. I had throat cancer. I beat that, then I had to have a section of my prostate removed. So erections were not getting hard enough nor lasting long enough. They gave me a prescription for 4 tablets a month but they weren't doing it I still want getting hard enough. To be honest. I put this down to all the masturbation I had done in my life. I went to see a urologist and after an examination I was prescribed the 5mg daily and given a penis pump. I was told to use the pump 5 times a day to start with to help with my blood flow in general. I don't need to use the pump every time my wife and I make love anymore the daily pills help me get and maintain my erection to the end I am also still masturbating almost daily with my wife's blessing .
(Copied from my post on another thread) Wonder if I could offer my two pennies' worth? I used sildenafil for a while with good results. I then thought I'd try tadalafil as a daily dose of 2.5mg to get the spontaneity back. However I then suffered from muscle ache at the back of my legs. I persevered for a couple of weeks hoping it would go away but no luck. So now back on sildenafil.
For me, I've found that as I get older my body changes how much and what kind of meds I need to take. As far as my partners go, they certainly enjoy getting me up and then whatever we do with my erect cock. I had a run in with health problems a few years ago and at that time none of the normally prescribed pills worked well, even at a higher dosage. I saw my urologist and she gave me my first Trimix injection and it worked wonders. BUT.....I was uncertain about telling my partners and it's not one of those things where you can inject hours ahead of time. I also discovered that my male pride and ego got in the way of just being honest. All three of my friends were not only supportive but excited to have me inject and OOOOhhhh the things we did after that. One prefers to inject me herself. I was so wrong in holding back the issue that I was having so I learned a lot. Now that my health is slowly getting better, I don't inject although there are times whe I could use the additional firmness depending on what I'm doing with her so I stay open minded about it. If anyone here has questions about what I've been through or what I learned, feel free to ask either in the open forum or PM. I'm happy to discuss at length and I know I took too long learning these things for myself. Oh...I was initially stunned to find out that my urologist was a woman but to be honest, having a woman to talk to...to inject into my cock and watch it get hard...and to frankly talk about what to expect before and during sex was actually an unexpected relief for me.
I’ve only tried sildenafil a handful of times, and honestly the main thing I noticed was more confidence than anything else. Physically, it did help me stay hard longer, but for me the bigger “benefit” was not worrying if I’d lose my erection halfway. That peace of mind actually made the sex better. I did get a bit of a stuffy nose the first time, but it went away pretty quick. I haven’t used it daily, just when I knew it would be a good night. I figure it’s better to save it for those times rather than take it like a vitamin. Curious though – for those of you who switched to tadalafil, do you find the “ready any time” effect worth it compared to only using sildenafil when needed?
I switched and it’s not as predictable as Sildenafil pop a pill wait 20 minutes ready to go. Tadalafil is more natural as you are suppose to take it daily. I find daily doses I start to get back pain. acid reflux Sildenafil gave me head aches/ stuffy/ felt like the pill was burning through my stomach lining. / Blurred vision. prefer Tadalafil and limit it to 3-4 days then break for a couple days to avoid the back issues
I’m 64 and take the 2.5 mg daily Tadalafil. Been on it for several years with no side effects and I get as hard as I did when I was 20.
There was a time when i was under a lot of stress. That affected my ability to remain erect. Doctor prescribed Sildenafil (generic Viagra). Wow, what a hard on. Also wow, everything had a blue tint to it. Stopped using Sildenafil after a few months due to the vision issues. Besides my erection remained even after I came. A couple of hours after. Not good. I went clean and my erections went back to as I was before. Nice and hard through the whole sex session.
There's stuff you can take to line the stomach to protect it. I'm on it now to protect from excesses of ibuprofen. Got a verterbra issue just above my pelvis so I cant reach behing my scrotum and its painful even to reach my cock. Needs must, however. Lol Hang on and I'll look at the label for its name.... Omeprazole 20mg
I just switched to low-dose every day Cialis from Sildenafil. It works great now that I upped the dose to 10mg. Just 5mg wasn't doing anything. But I take another med that diminishes Cialis' efficacy, so I need a stronger dose than others. The overall point, however, is I prefer it to Sildenafil/Viagra, which takes an hour to really kick in and I just don't pencil sex into my daily planner like that. So, more than half the time I'd take it once things started getting intimate between me and a woman, I didn't actually experience the real effect until after the sex was over. I prefer just having the Cialis in me all the time so that when I need it's help, it's already effective. I gave my leftover Sildenafil to my dad, who's enjoying it very much. So glad I could give it a good home.
I take Cialis, but not every day. Nothing wrong with doing that. If I know we will be playing with another couple I will start taking it several days before. It works great for me. I am 72 and we play once a month. In between that I have no problem getting an erection with my wife.
I am 79 and a user of Cialis(tadalafil) for many years. About 15 years ago I started having ED issues. My internist, a woman doc, suggested I take 2.5mg of Cialis on an as needed basis. The dosage worked well for a while with zero side effects. I then met a woman who is now my wife and "as needed" turned out to be almost every day so my doc increased my dosage to 2.5mg daily. After I turned 70 or so my dosage was increased to 5 mg daily and that worked quite well for a while. A side benefit was my penis was quite a bit bigger when flaccid I guess because of the increased blood flow. Now at 79 our frequency of sex has decreased a bit but the dosage has increased. My wife (a doc herself) certainly understands my ED issues so we somewhat plan our sex a bit in advance. It has its advantages but looses a bit of spontaneity. An advantage is that if I know I'm getting laid tomorrow I have 24 hours to fantasize about it. So, knowing I'm getting laid tomorrow I take a 10mg today and a 20 mg tomorrow morning. I rarely lose an erection before I cum. At 79, it takes a while to cum sometimes. If I do lose my erection my wife will always suck me until I cum. Gravity and the increased dosage has made my flaccid pens even longer which is an amazing benefit since we spend a fair amount of time naked at our pool and lake house with friends. For the 10mg I pay $0.27 per dose and for the 20mg $0.30. The only side effect I've had Is some heartburn with the 20mg.
