Age You Started Taking Viagra / Slidenafil?

[CanOfRedBull]

Hi All.

I'm just wondering what age you started seeking medical help ( pill popping ) with either getting hard or staying hard?

There was a time when I would be like a rock and almost poke myself in the eye but i'm surprised that i'm under 50 and things are not as hard as they use to be.   Is under 50 for taking viagra / sildenafil about the usual starting age?

Thanks

Have you been to see your doctor to rule out any underlying medical reasons. That's the first sensible step.

[Derrick101]

Go to the doc and get checked out. There may be underlying causes apart from age. I started about 58 due to diabetes

33..... don't use it all the time just when I have some stock left over or I've been out on the beer

I'm a bloke what do you think  I just put it down to age but looks like I might have to have the 'the talk'

They did 7 different blood test with me to rule out all possible causes before they gave the all clear to use it. I can't imagine they would go to that expense if it wasn't needed.

At the end of the day we are all individuals, different things work for different people in different ways, let the experts make sure you use what's best for you.

Started pill popping when I reached 60. Can't remember when I started to lose my hardness. But started wearing glasses when I was 45, so maybe it's normal for the body's effectiveness to decline from mid 40s ?
But every one is different, general fitness comes into it. EG smoking, drinking, drugs, being overweight etc. Regards.

I was having erectile problems at age 64. I let this go on for a couple of years before I went to the GP. The doc was brilliant, totally understood the problem both from the physical side & the psychological effect. Had a blood test which was fine & prescribed me 50mg sildenafil. Not had a problem since.

Look on the positive side... If there is an underlying issue, you'll get them for free

Tried them when I was 60 and had varying success. I wasn't convinced they were the panacea I was looking for.

Then I tried a bit of abstinance. (please dont roll eyes) This has worked for me better than blue pills. Its tough to do but for me (not necessarily you) it was the answer. Confidence came back which is a big part of it.

This mirrors my experience so far this year.   I was using the blue pills regularly for a couple of years and was worried about becoming dependent on them.   Also, I occasionally experienced the quite common effect where you get a good boner but struggle to cum.   Since the start of the year, I've cut back on my consumption of HD porno vids and tried to only punt when I want to and not just because I get the chance.   So far, all is good and all but one of my punts have been pill-free.

I`ve never used them.  When I was in my late 70s I did broach the idea to my GP, and he informed that my cardiac condition wasn`t compatible with them and they would probably kill me.  As it happened I never needed them anyway and managed very well without them until I had a heart attack 18 months ago.

[sub_marine]

I started seeing a nympho civvy at 25, thought it was great for a start, but after 2 years porking her 2-3 times a day I was starting to notice I wasnt getting as hard as I used to get, so thats when she binned me.  By early 30s it was a disatser zone, best I could manage was the morning after a night on the drink, got by with a few FWB.  By mid 30s got married and was trying for kids, but nothing happening for 3 years, so off to the fertility clinic and basically got a prescription for 4x50mg sildenafil with very little questions and no tests. 

I get by with a 1/2 tablet for a quick bang, but need a full 50mg for a 1h punt.

Its a pity they don't come in packs bigger than 4 at a time, but in Scotland it's free, so can't complain.

[WASA38]

Tried Kamagra, bought online when aged about 70 for use with OH but with little benefit.

At 78 and widowed, got prescription for sildenafil, free of course. At 75 mg a go, punting, highly effective but seems to inhibit orgasm. 

[londonroad]

58. Works really well for me, but as has been said above, we are all different so don’t think is a ‘standard’ age. Did see a medical professional who stressed importance of keeping fit, controlling weight, being careful what I eat and drink. He also stressed importance of drinking plenty of water when taking the magic blue pill.

[B4bcock]

This comment is often made.   Does anyone know the possible consequences of not being well hydrated when using erectile medications?

[Doc Holliday]

This comment is often made.   Does anyone know the possible consequences of not being well hydrated when using erectile medications?

The importance of being hydrated relates mostly to reducing the common side effect of headaches.

Also Sildenafil is a mild diuretic. You should avoid alcohol which is also a diuretic. Hence the importance of keeping hydrated.

Of course if you also sweat a lot during sex then you may end up like a wrinkled prune 

The medication should always be swallowed with a full glass of water.

[B4bcock]

Thanks, Doc, useful advice as ever.   

[sub_marine]

This comment is often made.   Does anyone know the possible consequences of not being well hydrated when using erectile medications?

Yeah exactly as doc says, plenty of water.  My punts occur at lunch time, so I make sure I drink 2 pints of water the evening before.  I get a slightly sniffly nose once it has kicked in that is gone as soon as the drug wears off, and have felt a mild headache 12h later when not hydrated fully.

respect, you've had a good run, I hope I even make it it late 70s

  1st started with Kamagra half a jelly packet at 51 years old for the odd punt (Lisa ff suggested trying it and I have to say it was a truely amazing session with my first use of it     and then for the party`s I went to at first it was half and then 100mg but that gave the killer headache and heart racing plus indgestion  Then I started the ASDA stuff and lowered dose to 25 mg and now use 20-30 as I cut the pills in quarters but due to droplet shap of some its a guess..

  Cialis and Sildenafil Mix

Last month I treated myself to one of my days in Soho , or thats what it started as I was feeling pretty good as a small win on lotto enabled play day 

So I took 5mg of daily Cialis for 2 days before punting day all ok I thought I took about 25mg or maybe 35mg of Sildenafil with lots of water and on empty stomach 1 1/2hrs or so before start of my adventure after I d walked around I pumped but did not cum in a WG in one of the Newport Court walk ups feeling still up for it I went to Isle Street and found a Big Blonde who I`d seen a few times before I felt a bit wobbley as I climbed stairs but put it down to running about and nerves 22quid and a real squwat thrust power pump shag later the maid asked me if i was ok ..yes sure just a bit knackered after shagging ... then I just sort of wobbled out think shit whats happening I felt awful and felt I was mussing up ..A walk willl clear me up 2 mins in to  Berwick st I sat in a cafe drinking an expresso worring as I really did not like the feeling the excitement of punts forgotten...   a breif slow chat with an American tourist and another expresso later I felt ok to walk again. .. I was very worried I had mix two in past many times and all was ok but this was 1st time mixing the two had that effect on me and I have not done it since.

[wristjob]

50. Didn't really need it for relationship sex but punting has a clock. 1st go is no problem but getting hard for a 2nd time was definitely in the 15+ min range. That's now pretty immediate so I usually get 2 pops in the hour. Everyone is different, take it if you need it and it improves things and prob sound advice not to take it if it doesn't really enhance things.

[nugget4eva]

Early/mid thirties. One time I was with a WG and I lost my stiffy as soon as she put the rubber on me. Ever since then I've usually taken half a blue pill as a precaution although sometimes I've forgotten and done fine without, it just gives me a little peace of mind. It definitely makes it easier to have a second go.

[Colston36]

78 - but that's only because until then I had hardly ever punted. i didn't like the side effects and switched to Cialis, which I take in 5s.

Did you know that some doctors prescribe the magic blue pill to help with circulation for older people?

AH!  But is it to help the blood or the old men to circulate? Obviously just the thing to get the sedentary back on the move and active again.

[Georgejetson]

53. Weirdly I don’t need them for porn. Can get and stay hard for an hour even while drunk if I with my regular, PORNHub, but oddly have trouble with a stunning 21 year old. Some wires crossed I am sure. Anyone else have that combo?

It's probably nerves.   Porn is detached, involves no human interaction and you are in total control, so is vastly different from a punt.   Beware porn addiction, though.   Too much porn and not enough real sex can rewire the brain and cause problems.

You`ve watched so much porn that you can only "get it on" by watching someone else do it.  You need to stop watching porn completely and find a good SP who knows how to do a good "seduction" routine, and see her a few times until she`s got you back on the `straight and narrow`.

23, and even with a 50 mg viagra Immost of the times I’m not hard enough for a second round. Did medical tests all I came out fine, so really don’t know what is wrong with me

I'd be surprised if you had as it is somewhat obscure 

It's only other licenced use is for a rare condition of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension and that is only under specialist supervision.
I suspect londonroad may mean that it has unlicensed use for some cases of Raynauds Syndrome affecting the fingers, but this is hardly a common usage either more trialled usage.

Probably psychological fella. Not easy to fix though?  ED meds are not the answer

[daviemac]

No, never heard of that.

This is why I only ever take notice of my GP or the experts at the cardiology department during my annual check-up.  My consultant actually went through all the options regarding medication before he prescribed it, such as Dabigatran instead of Warfarin to eliminate the need for regular blood tests.

You are wise to do so ... although the human body is never an exact science.

[emraw]

late 20s. Just a back up when the combination of drunk/condoms make it (not) hard.  Not used any in months

[Home Alone]

Can't remember precisely how old I was - 59, I think - when I told my GP that "my new girlfriend's suggested I buy some Kamagra but I said I want my pulse & bp checking first."

She checked both, then told me that because of the circulatory difficulties associated with my congenital disability, I qualified for 4 Viagra a month on prescription. Within a comparatively short time, I'd qualified for free prescriptions because I turned 60; talk about win-win!

In her Scottish accent - think Maggie Smith in 'The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie' - the GP added, "Ye'll still have to go through foreplay, mind!" And I thought, "Ah well, if I must, I must!!"

[m4rmite]

I've popped a viagra or cialis a few times and to combat the heartburn I've taken ranitidine.
Maybe i won't anymore

About 50 for me. Trial and error, took a 20mg Cialis and I had an erection for hours that was painful and eventually went down. Never tried that dose again!
Stick to 100mg Viagra and mostly 1/2 a tablet works ok.

I was in my 50's and ended up in hospital after taking viagra for the first (and only) time. Complications with heart rate and BP.
Didn't even get to the planned punt and so I never used it.  Needless to say it's no longer on my agenda and I have to rely on mother nature and a decent SP.

[Watts.E.Dunn]

Well I take up to a 100 mg and that more or less works apart from Condom droop:(

The other night decided to see a lady i hand't seen for a while,and couldnt get any blue pills in time:(  but we were performing almost as well as can be expected less Viagra she was just a good service provider:)

If your attracted to her and shes perfoming well of  or maybe just likes you, then that can make a huge difference compared to the strandard distentested Rom! Bella at Swaffam excepted;!

[Home Alone]

I should perhaps have added here - I've mentioned it on other threads - that about 3 or 4 years ago, the magic in Viagra stopped working for me so I went back to my GPs, where I saw a trainee GP on placement from the Manchester University Medical Course. She went back to first principles and checked the Formulary where she found that - in layman's language - 20 mg of Tadalafil packed more oomph than 100 mg Viagra.

So my monthly prescription is now for 4 x 20 mg Tadalafil! 

[trickyd2]

I started taking a booster at 65. I was visiting FKK clubs in Germany regularly and found that the first round was no problem, but a during a second round about 3-4 hours later it was tough to stay hard.
Spoke to my doctor. She prescribed Viagra which gave me some side effects (headache etc.) so switched to Cialis 20mg. For a long time I could cut the pill in half and take just 10 mg. but now, several years later, I need the full 20mg for each punt. I also switched to Tadalofil, which is the same molecule for a tenth of the price!

maybe you just arent supposed to go the second time? 

[jedi master]

Started taking slidenafil at 40, first took the 100mg dose but was to strong had side effects off flushed face, also felt as if I nearly fainted. Since that happened been on 50mg dosage.

Same here. No problem getting hard at home but makes it near enough a cert when punting sober plus gives me the boost needed for a second pop in an hour, otherwise I’d struggle to get a stiffy within time after the first pop. Basically reduces recovery time
