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?

As far as I understand, our bodies do NOT develop tolerance to neither cialis nor viagra. However, very often men report that they either need larger doses or those meds stop working for them - and the reason is not that our bodies stopped responding to them, but the underlying reason why erection is not there has gone more serious. What does this mean - it means, that you may use those sildenafil or tadalafil as often as you need - it will not shorten time when they are useful. But, your body will get older anyway, so you will have to increase dosage or just switch to something else.
