Viagra, Cialis, Levitra

[Brandye]

There have been repeated questions and statements over time about using drugs for erectile dysfunction to enhance sexual performance. Read this carefully: If you are capable of erection, the best thing that can result from using these drugs is nothing! The worst thing that can happen is experiencing the side-effects with no improved sexual function. The side effects are uncommon but you really do not want them. Even temporary blindness is bad news and priapism (can't get it down) requires a trip to the emergency room.

All three commonly prescribed drugs use chemicals that work the same way. They assist the small valves that allow blood into the two penis sacks to keep blood in there. Erection is nothing but a blood filled penis. You may have noticed that as you approach orgasm, the head engorges and turns purple.

There is much more to sexual fatigue than helping these two little valves work and if you are worn out, no drug is going to make you perform like a rabbit. Other health factors are greater causes of reduced performance: Smoking, overweight, too little exercise and not enough sleep are all major causes of sexual lethargy. Alcohol is the most common sexual suppressant in use. In some cases, the drinking is to avoid sex and in some cases to overcome not having sex. In either case, alcohol reduces sexual competency and desire. Diabetes, so common among the overweight, is a penis killer--at least an erection killer.

The ED drugs do not enhance the performance of those who do not need them. Those who do, please do use them; they do work. Do not develop unrealistic expectations. Even the ads for one say "UP TO X hours." That is "up to" not a guarantee that it WILL. Some men adapt to one of these drugs and others prefer one of the other two. A fifty year old should not expect to be as hard as he was in his twenties. The erection will not last as long as it once did. Like many drugs, these do not cure anything; they simply compensate for a weakness in the body. They are not magic bullets to keep you going more. If you are capable of three orgasms in an evening without the drugs, you will be capable of three orgasms with the drugs. You will be no stiffer or longer lasting. Those sites purporting to make you a real stud with these drugs are simply marketing. Those of you who wish to flame me are using anecdotal evidence - much of which reports a placebo effect. The clinical studies are on my side.

These are not drugs to be played with; they are helpers to keep some men functioning longer and they all have the warning that they are only for men healthy enough to have sex.

well hopefully that will shut a lot of people up me personally would go as far as calling the random marketers of such drugs that state absurd things liars, cheats, fraudsters, and warranting of jail or worse.

So are there any drugs that do increase a guys performance. Such as reducing the "recovery time" between erections or the number of erections a man can get?

This has been a problem in the past with a guy I was with...he just couldn't keep up with my sexual appeitite.

[Brandye]

There are no magical pills or potions to do that. Physical fitness, decent diet and adequate rest are all I could suggest.

Some of them are good. My husband uses Extagen and never noticed side effects. Sometimes a drug is the only thing which can help, but I agree: be careful...

My DH sometimes uses Extagen and says it is the best drug he has tried.

so I am with a guy who has MS. He is only 30, but he is getting very frustrated, because he can get hard, most of the time (takes cialis, when he cant), but cannot orgasim.

He gets frustrated that he can't get off with me and he can't get off very often on his own.

I want to help him out....any suggestions?

I'm pretty sure my ED problems are due to psychological issues and worrying. I had a few bad experiences and now all i can think of when a woman goes down on me is how i might not stay hard, and of course, there goes my erection.

Will drugs help my ED if it is psychological related?

Does anyone have advice for how to address the problem of worrying?

[Brandye]

These drugs will help with circulatory ED only. They do nothing for neurological or psychological issues.

That said, if there is some circulatory issue, experiencing success begets further success. If your ED is purely stress. psych related, they will do no good. If the there is some blood flow issue and you are stressed out about that, you may find that a few successes will move you right along. Talk to your doctor.

my boyfriend used to have the same problem. he had lots of girlfriends before me, and said that it was something he always had a problem with...
he saw his doctor many times and as a last resort, his doctor finally gave him viagra.

in short, the viagra didnt do anything (except give him a really bad headache) until he was able to overcome the psychological aspect himself...and even then all it does is give him a raging hard on when hes not even in the mood mentally personally i dont like it when he uses it.
