My 1st experience with Cialis

[forkhead Junior Member Find all posts View Profile Close forkhead]

Hi everyone, I'm new to the forum but I want to share my first experience with Cialis, a little about why I got it in the first place, and what the effects were. I also plan on following up on how this affects my sex life in the immediate if not longer-term future.

I'm a fit, hockey-playing, very healthy 36 year old divorcee and NEVER had ED symptoms or problems ever. This year is a big year, and I'm going through lots of life changes. I have an 18 year old daughter finishing high school and I'm planning on moving in with my unbelievably gorgeous girlfriend. My parents are becoming much more dependent on me for things as their health (especially my father's) is deteriorating. Also I have been mired in a huge 4-month project at work that I finally completed. All of it Resulted in some wicked ED- just nothing happening. The embarrassment is just killing me.

My excellent doctor prescribed me cialis 10mg to re-instill some confidence (and maybe some libido) as the last two months have been rather miserable in the bedroom. I've been able to achieve erections, with masturbation, but without stimulation the erections disappear. Having to pull out to get lube or a toy results in near total loss.

I took my 10mg cialis around 6 pm expecting the possibility of sex around 10pm. I took it on an empty stomach. I did not feel any upset stomach. I began noticing effects within about 2 hours. My nose stuffed up slightly, but it is difficult for me to say 100% it was cilalis as i have seasonal allergies and sneezed about 20 times that day! I achieved an erection as expected around 10pm, and had intercourse. Erection quality was absolutely a 10. I was able to maintain my erection without stimulation, some with chemical help and also kegeling. No heart symptoms, no back pain, no other side effects.

As of right now, 15 hours later, I have achieved 5 very strong erections and can concentrate them down as necessary. This includes overnight and sleeping (not well- but that's not related to cialis.... Sigh)

Cialis has been an amazing revelation for me in a few short hours and I'm glad I have some left, for those special occasions like a romantic weekend. My plan right now is to continue the 5 Gs - which have yet to help, but i havent been on them long- and use Cialis sparingly-- as well as adapt to my changing lifestyle-- to get to the point where I can achieve 8/9/10 EQ on my own.

For a confidence booster, and a temporary band-aid for psychological ED, cialis is a little miracle.

I had better results from Levitra, but every guy is different. It does help get a person over psychological ED, but the double-edged sword is getting dependent on them. It takes a VERY understanding and patient partner to work through psychological ED. They have to know that it is not them.

Good luck!

Edging and the JP90 program helped me with ED, without chemicals. I would like to try one of those drugs too though.

Considering the very good results you had with 10 mg, you should try 5 mg the next time. You can get a pill splitter at your local pharmacy. If the 5mg works well, you can reduce the dose to 2.5 mg on subsequent encounters.

I'm now about 24 hours post ingestion of 10mg Cialis and I can feel the effects wearing off slightly. I'm interested to see tomorrow (again, possibility of intercourse) if there is any residual problems or my confidence is boosted at all from the positive experience I had.

@not2big, I'm doing exactly that next time. Great suggestion. It will save a few bucks down the road if I need Cialis again.

@WalrusGumBoot, well said. I am very hopeful that this is merely a slump, and that my libido and EQ will return to their form of merely 6 months or so ago, which isn't quite where Cialis brought me but close enough.

I am no expert on ED but I am glad to find another hockey player around here, glad to have you on the forums forkhead.

Im on the same script, I cut mine in half and take it monday wednesday and friday. I take it right before bed, usually only takes about a half hour for the full effect. For me it works around 36 hours, so I get the benefits for two nights, it also builds up in your system, so the longer your on it, the better the results. Through lots of keegles, edging and ballooning I have been able to achieve great results in conjunction with the cialis.

@bherbigest that sounds like a great plan, and I'm glad to hear its working.

Today is 72 hours post ingestion and I can definitely say that 36-48 hours is about as much as can be expected.

With work and related stresses disappearing I have achieved 4 erections on my own with an 8-9 EQ. I just spent the entire dinner with my girlfriend attempting to contain my erection. Today I also took the 5 Gs with 500mg L-Arginine.

I havent yet determined if those help erectile quality but they definitely increase ejaculation volume. Kegels have significantly helped ejaculation force.

My issue was definitely libido and confidence/stress related and Cialis gave me a little jump-start. I'm very curious about my bloodwork results.

Well tonight is a big night, there's the chance of intercourse again and I'm interested to see if I can now do it without Cialis since my confidence is higher, libido seems to be returning and my stresses are dissipating. I have 5mg Cialis in my back pocket though, in case I'm just not where I want to be.

At your age you could try some DHEA its a hormon, but please read up about first as it can have some funny side effects with the odd person, you could back this up with some Tribulus, if fact you can bye a DHEA/Tribulus stack, they both boost your Libido, testostrone and energy levals, but if you google both you can find out the facts, just add ED on the end, lots to read.
Good Luck

Well this has been a long time coming - 2+ months - and I can say that I've had a difficult time with ED without Cialis. I had about a month's worth of renewed confidence but I've struggled to get and maintain erections. Typically once I *GET* an erection, and have intercourse, I can maintain it OK. My worst problem thereafter is that once I have an erection I'm so excited I got one that I struggle to withhold orgasm. And if you saw the girl that I am intimate with, you might too. Let's say I've been a minute-man on plenty of occasions ED or not.

I've been renewing using the 5 Gs (well 4, not garlic, as my girlfriend has a hound's nose and can smell it whether I use odorless or not) and L-Arginine. Not sure if the L-Arginine is a good idea however. I'm only on 1g a day.

I lost my prescription paper for more than the sample of Cialis I had - guess I have to go back to the doc and beg for another.

A phone call to the doctor or pharmacist should save you another visit Fork.

Now it's September 2012 and I'm very happy to say that my ED was strictly related to stress and anxiety. After getting some financial matters under control, and having some things at work change significantly for the better, my ED has disappeared. I'm happy to announce that I can achieve meaningful, lasting erections without the need for Cialis. I *do* however have a supply of them and while I've taken, on one occasion, a 5mg half of a 10mg pill recreationally (the sex was constant and incredible) I don't appear to need it in order to successfully have sex. I still have to say that Cialis is basically a miracle drug and I'm very glad I have a cooperative and understanding physician.

I also need to add this: I communicated to my girlfriend that I was lacking confidence that I could perform and that I was pleasing her. She has made an effort to reassure me both during and outside of sex that she enjoys it and wants to have sex, and I believe that confidence boost helped significantly.
