Sildenafil: You thoughts, recommendations and experiences.

Came late to this thread but I have to say that if our banned member thnks he was abused he's led a very sheltered life.
Viagra 50mg, breaking them in half, great for guaranteed erection and a seemingly slowed (but not to a problem level) ejaculation.
I only took 50mg once, popped once couldn't/didn't pop a second time but kept erect for the whole time. Wasn't bothered about a second pop so didn't try too hard.

In relation to Viagra etc my experience of over 20 years has taught me that the higher the dose, the better the erection, but with increased difficulty to climax.

I can't find much evidence to suggest that ED meds affect climaxing, but I guess that's hardly surprising when it's not a feature the manufacturers and multi million industry would want to publicise.

However it's interesting to note that on the NHS website about ejaculation problems it says that sildenafil may help with premature ejaculation.

Yes Sildenafil has been investigated and used successfully for treatment of PE, so this side effect of reducing sensitivity is definitely known, but not included in the side effects by the manufacturer. My conclusion as to why agrees with yours. I also agree that whilst difficulty with climax does not affect everyone, anecdotal evidence that it does affect many has been highlighted on forums such as this and to such a large extent that it is is pretty conclusive.

As I have posted a number of times before, when I began trying it 'recreationally' well over 17 years ago I had huge issues with climaxing once and twice was almost impossible. I stopped using it and have never used it since for that reason.

A commonly raised suggestion/question is when are they going to make a med that helps with desire/sensitivity etc especially the sort of thing often reported with viagra and not cumming.

They don’t seem to have got there yet, but there’s maybe some indication of light at the tunnel. Mostly developed for women’s lack of sexual desire but also effective to an extent for men. It’s called Flibanserin, is only available in America, is far from cheap and doesn’t help all men. Concerns over low blood pressure, perhaps even more than with viagra, are noted.

If you Google it you’ll find a bunch of studies on its use for women. Ones that include men are less common, only noted as a side effect in early studies (when it was being tested as an antidepressant). Here’s one that reported an improvement among 38% of men in the study:

Seems to work on the brain rather than on the N.O. pathways used by viagra.

There’s a techie explanation on the longecity forum (looks credible though I haven’t looked up any validation). External Link/Members Only

This isn’t intended as practical help. Just for interest in terms of the pharmaceutical research on the subject.

Not sure if it’s been discussed but I am trying Cialis nowadays.  More for recreational purposes before anyone casts aspersions on my masculinity (joke!)

Took a while to get the right dose, but 10mg a few hours before on an empty stomach gives me a nice boost which lasts even on day 2 and 3.  Only side effect is some heartburn and snotty nose but mild. 

No impact on lasting longer, but round 2 much easier when I’m in complete control anyway. 

Trying not to overuse it as one day I might really need it one day but it’s reccomended!

Certainly when I was a more active punter than I am at present, I used to wake up with a satisfactory Semillon - as they say in French letters! - on the morning after a Cialis-assisted punt. Didn't experience the heartburn/snotty nose, though!

I had a bad experience a week or so back with sildinafil - first time it's ever happened to me in several years of using. It was possibly because I took it at the same time as a prescrption drug - I usually avoid mixing the two and will definitely avoid from now on!

I felt a bit dizzy and unsure on my feet on the way to the punt (Jessica - see report), but still managed to perform as usual. Travelling home was worse, as everything seemed to be so bright, also with a bluish tinge - very unpleasant. It finally went away after about 4 hours. Lesson learnt!

Prior to having surgery a few years ago for severe reflux all the ed meds made the symptoms worse as they relax the lower esophageal sphincter in the digestive tract.
Unfortunately the side effects lasted longer with Cialis.

Gaviscon Advanced helped .
