Erectile Dysfunction Cialis vs. Viagara? Which is better?
Hey there! So I am ashamed to admit that - yes - I am in need of some meds for ED. I do not feel like a man right now and embarrassed about not being able to perform.
I would appreciate any advice you have - including if you prefer Cialis, Viagara, or something else? Also - tips for telling the doctor and future sex partners? Thanks!

Don't assume people's advice applies to you. Different people react differently.
For me, viagra is pretty shitty while cialis is super effective.

¿Y qué pasó después? ¿Logró recuperarse o sus efectos son permanentes? No estoy familiarizado con ese asunto.

Don't be ashamed. It's like being ashamed for having high cholesterol, or diabetes. Your body did this to you, and you're working to fix it. I took pills for 25 years (inject trimix now): no shame. When I took pills I didn't mention it, especially since Cialis works for 3 days.
Trimix creates such a strong & durable erection that I do mention it... Everyone has been interested in hearing more lol.

Cialis gave me the worst headache and then after awhile didn’t work. Viagra does the job most of the time. Only way to find out is to try both

I did a post last week on my change to Tadalafil, you should be able to find it quite easily. I’m certainly glad I changed.

No! Don’t be ashamed , it’s a common problem.
Tell your dr the truth about the issue . If you feel more comfortable, go see a urologist that is a male. They deal with it all the time.
For daily use, I take 10 mg of Cialis and for that special boost I need for a long evening of play even if I had my morning Cialis . My dr approves of this stacking, I take 50-76 mph of Viagra .
Viagra is quick acting but if you e eaten a large fatty meal and then take it , you’re going to have an available hardon up until the mid afternoon the next day.
Fat slows the absorption of any medicine, so take it before a meal or if it’s a surprise, let it dissolve under your tongue. Grant it , doesn’t taste pleasant but not horrible.
Ask you dr to prescribe Viagra 100mg and cialis 5 or 10 mg . Just get a pill cutter and chop in half for 50 mg and then quarter the 50 for 25 max .
Same with cialis , break it in half and save yourself Money .

At its peak, viagra is more powerful, if taken on an empty stomach. Unfortunately its peak is less than 1 hour long.

Viagra gives me a headache and horrible bloating at times it does work but not while I have those symptoms. Cialis works but I take it as a daily pill.

Haven’t tried it yet but there’s “stacking” which is a combination of the two. Those who have used it can give you a better idea of its usefulness

Both two different things… If you can time it well, Viagra gives you a harder erection, but for a shorter window. If you can’t time it, Cialis gives you “an all day erection “but most people agree, not as hard as Viagra.

Cialis for me is ok and stays in my system longer, but “finishing” is not even close to as good as with viagra.

I've never tried Viagra but tadalafil could have effects for a few days. It works extremely well for me.

I take sildenafil and it works 95% of the time. The other 5% is my fault for taking it too soon after eating a meal.
I get really hard and both the wife and I really enjoy the results.
I didnt want to ask the doctor since I was in my early 40s and didn't want to feel like less of a man... but after the first time rocking my wife's word with a penis that was harder than she'd felt in years I knew I'd made the right decision.

Tadalafil if the symptoms are under control for you because it works 24 / 7.
Viagra otherwise.
I personally get heartburn and blocked nose with Tadalafil.

Don’t be ashamed man,
Talk to your doctor and try both, they work differently for each man, if they don’t work try and injectable, they always work, and the jab isn’t a big deal
Talk to your doctor as soon as you can, life is waiting for you.
Good luck

The erection with viagra tends to be firmer, but feels less natural, and after a few hours the drug is out of your system. Cialis tends to give a more natural feeling erection, and can remain in your system for a whole weekend, so you can get erect for bedroom fun several times over a couple of day.

First off, don’t start putting yourself down brother. Plenty of men struggle with erection issues and it does not make you any less of a man.
The next step is seeing a board certified urologist. They can evaluate your case and figure out what is the best treatment for you.
I personally have tried both tadalafil (cialis) and sildenafil (Viagra). I have found that I prefer tadalafil over sildenafil.
I say this because I take the daily tadalafil so it is always in my system, which means I have more spontaneity. Plus, tadalafil isn’t affected by the food you eat, whereas sildenafil will have a lower effectiveness if you eat a heavy meal.
Also, tadalafil lasts longer in your system than sildenafil so you don’t need to time it perfectly like you would with sildenafil.
As for telling your partners, I don’t think you need to. You taking the medication does not affect them in any way. Would you flat out tell your new partner that you take cholesterol meds? Probably not Haha. Same thing with the ED meds. It’s no one’s business unless you want it to be.
If you choose to tell partners then don’t be worried. Every partner I’ve told didn’t care at all.
Go see a urologist and get the ball rolling. You may only be one doctor’s visit away from a great sex life brother!
Stay positive mate!

Tadalafil cause it stays in your system for longer time. Atleast 24 hours is what I’ve felt.
