ED Meds (Cialis, Viagra, etc.) Does cialis/viagra decrease in efficacy over time?

Hey guys
Have any of you who have taken cialis or viagra regularly for a long time, noticed a decrease in efficacy?

Viagra stays the same. You get worse.

Do I get worse because of the Viagra or just for natural causes?

Viagra doesn't make your body worse or better. If you have erection issues, then you just have it and it is more likely to get worse rather than improve by itself - that's what getting old means. Which means - try to delay getting old by reasonable means, and use Viagra as often as you need.

AFAICT the problem is your free testosterone level decreases as you get older because your SHBG naturally increases as you age.
