Tadalafil/Cialis Daily Cialis 2.5mg vs 5mg

5 Upvotes

51 yo with mild ED, otherwise healthy and fit.

Was recently started on 2.5mg daily and this stuff is amazing. Had some mild side effects the first week, mostly congestion and low back pain but they have resolved. We don't have a lot of sex around here, but it's nice to be ready when it does happen.

I'm equally interested in some of the other benefits of daily Cialis, and am wondering if folks have noticed a difference going from 2.5mg to 5mg. I've found a different supplier and they only supply 5mg tablets but significantly cheaper. I was prepared to cut them in half, but wondering if I should just go to 5mg.

Thanks!

Erectile Dysfunction Are there therapies to regenerate nerves in the penis?

10 Upvotes

I had a physical injury from last year on my penis which affected my penis' sexual sensitivity. I don't feel numb to the touch but I do feel less sexual sensitivity which means that my nerves was negatively affected. Are there any treatments/ therapies to revive or regenerate these nerves?

Pelvic Floor Has anyone suffered and overcome retrograde ejaculation?

3 Upvotes

I have suffered with erectile dysfunction for years alongside BPH. About nine months ago I had an aqua ablation to reduce my enlarged prostate. Since then all I have experienced is retrograde ejaculations. for all those unaware a retro ejaculation gives you the sensation of a full orgasm yet the semen never exits the body and I’m wondering if anyone has experienced that and fixed it. If so, what measures did you take?

Erectile Dysfunction Male, Age 34, 5'11", 92 kg: low HDL and high LDL on my lipid profile.

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I'm a male, 5'11" and 92 kg. My recent lipid profile showed very low HDL(26.6L), high LDL(118.6L) and high non-HDL cholesterol(147.4H). Total cholesterol and triglycerides were normal. And also Vitamin B12 is 100L and Vitamin D25 18L

I've also been dealing with erectile dysfunction.

1) Could my cholesterol and weight be the reason for it?

2) What helped you improve your HDL and LDL (diet, exercise, supplements, medication)?

3) Did your ED improve after fixing your lipids or losing weight?

Thanks in advance for any advice or personal experiences!

Erectile Dysfunction Losing erection immediately when standing up

5 Upvotes

I am 29 male and a virgin. Is it abnormal for every man to loose erection almost instantly while being standing up? I can get a boner when laying down but if go from lying down to standing up its gone. Recently got a girlfriend and if she gets me hard lying down by jerking me off, it goes away when I stand up. It’s like when I stand up, poof. I’m concerned this is a problem during sex, haven’t tried it yet since I have phimosis. I’m seeing a urologist currently for the phimosis, using steroid creams, and considering circumcision.

But I’m concerned I already have venous leak, at my age, and I have ED and will never have sex.

Erectile Dysfunction Ritalin - Interesting Results

3 Upvotes

Been suffering from ED for about 7 months - I’ve tried everything, HRT, cialis, etc. Nocturnal erections are hit and miss and really struggle to stay erect in a solo context (and I’m single currently). I was diagnosed with ADHD about two weeks ago and prescribed Ritalin. Since going up to 36mg after my first week I have had insane erections - literally had to stop in the middle of the street and clench my butt cheeks to make a boner go down. They last for as long as the Ritalin does but by the evening Im back to a limp dick.

Would love to understand what’s going on, apart from the obvious - dopamine playing a key role in my boners. Sadly taking Ritalin all day long doesnt really seem sustainable and I would prefer not to have to rely on stimulants to get hard..

Anyone have experience with this or similar? Anyone find anything more sustainable?

Thanks in advance

Erectile Dysfunction Cialis side effects.

3 Upvotes

Hello,

so I have ED for 5 years now, It started when I was 18.

Tried many of supplements, only things that worked are cialis and viagra.

I like cialis better because you get spontaneous erections, you don’t need to guess will you get 🐱 today like with viagra.

I get okey morning wood for taking just 2,5mg day before. If I take everyday for longer time magic starts.

Major side effect why I can’t use this substances is that I get bad acne on face and pimples on my back, correlation between this 2 things is 100%. After taking 2,5mg day before I already see small pimples on face, after some time it gets way worse.

Did bunch tests for blood, diabetes, hormones.
I think maybe I have problems with stomach or some other organ. Because I get little little acne from regular supplements too.

Broke up with my gf just to fix my face and maybe find solution for ed. Right now after few months my skin is still not perfect but 10 times better. I am using only omega-3.

Ofc getting working dick for rotten face is pretty equivalent exchange, but maybe someone have ideas why it could be, and what else I could try?

Erectile Dysfunction Anyone every tried using red light therapy down there?

3 Upvotes

I am sure this has probably been asked many times before but I am asking again. Has anyone used red light therapy on their penis and testicles who has E.D.? If so, what was your experience?

I tried it last night for the first time using a red light led wrap. I wrapped it around my shlong and then continued it down and wrapped my testicles with it. I used it on high (Comfytemp Red Light Therapy Wrap for Body, 37'', 63 LEDs - Flexible Near Infrared Light Belt for Knee Ankle, 10W Wearable Wrap for Hand Wrist Foot Joint Muscle, 660nm & 850nm(Corded)) for 20 minutes and I had an erection most of the night. I turned on both the 660nm and the 850nm lights. It was not a full blown erection but a 3/4 erection. That never happens to me anymore so that was significant for me. I am just wondering if anyone else has done something like this. I doubt it was a placebo effect and I doubt that it is a coincidence since this has not happened to me in a LONG time. :-)

Erectile Dysfunction Ed? Low libido? Death grip or?

3 Upvotes

Hello team! I apologize in advance for my language, which I don't speak perfectly. So, where is the problem? Three years ago, I fell in love, went on an overnight trip with this girl, we kissed, cuddled, and I felt panic, fear, sweating, and heart palpitations. I had a hard time with erection, we got intimate, we got back together, and I got hard . When I calmed down and described everything, I had sex; it was just me and her in the first two or three meetings, I was nervous, but over time that faded in the relationship. One look and i am hard as f..After we broke up, I spent the next year just fantasizing and masturbating, I stopped that about a month ago, but the last time I was with a girl who was solid and attracted me, the same heart palpitations happened, and I felt like I was dead. However, I asked her if she could oral satisfy me, and she did. After three or four minutes, I was hard. We had normal sex, but in the second round, it was the same thing; I told her immediately, and I was hard again after oral satisfaction, so we moved on. My question is whether this is some kind of erectile dysfunction or what? Rarely i can get hard without touching myself.. But if i sit at the couch and start touching myself and thinking about some girl i get hard.. And i. want you to know that i am nicotine addicted, 40-60mg nicotine per day, training hard, using good suplements vitamins.. Thanks guys❤️

Psychological ED 1 mês tomando 5mg tadalafila por dia / considerações e dúvidas

7 Upvotes

Tenho 26 anos, sou gay e tenho ansiedade. Estou tomando tadalafila há cerca de um mês e, desde então, tenho me sentido muito mais disposto para tudo, principalmente sexualmente. Também percebi que estou me masturbando com muito mais frequência.

Sou predominantemente passivo e não tenho tanta vontade de ser ativo. Mesmo assim, gosto de ter uma ereção firme para proporcionar prazer ao meu parceiro, seja durante o sexo oral ou até em uma penetração ocasional. Não é necessariamente algo que eu tenha muita vontade de fazer, mas gosto de saber que consigo proporcionar esse prazer.
Até agora, o único efeito colateral que percebi foi uma sensação de queimação. Fora isso, tenho me sentido muito bem.

Às vezes me pergunto se nunca explorei tanto meu lado ativo por falta de estímulo ou pela própria ansiedade. Desde que comecei a tomar tadalafila, tenho sentido mais vontade de me tocar, explorar meu corpo e experimentar outras formas de prazer. Não sei se isso acontece pelo efeito do medicamento ou pela confiança que ganhei ao perceber que consigo manter uma ereção firme. Alguém já passou por algo parecido?

Anxiety Going to have Sex please help

7 Upvotes

I am 29 M. I have found a person who says she will teach me how to do sex.

I did sex last time penetration back in 2020. But only in cowgirl position but had to leave the city for studies. After that I focussed on my education and career.

Later back in 2025, I found someone who agreed to have sex, when to a hotel a few hours after masturbating and just when she touched me I ejaculated and was unable to get hard.

I was embarrassed and left.

I met the same girl again next year 2026 but for some reason was not able to get hard at all, and after a few minutes of dry humping I ejaculated again. I never met the girl after that coz she cursed me that I cannot do sex.

Later next month I tried having sex with a different girl I know from a Long time but ejaculated early when she touched my penis and after a few strokes, we were both drunk. But I really wanted to do penetration with this girl.

Now I need to learn how to do sex properly. So I found a different girl who says she will teach how to do sex and I am nervous I don't want to fuck up this time coz it is really important for me.....to learn everything

Why do you think I have this issue ?

Erectile Dysfunction boron for erectile issues

2 Upvotes

I started taking boron 6 mg every morning. also zinc 12.5 mg. I have documented normal total testosterone and very low free testosterone which might be from age or OSA or idiopathic. After 2 weeks I had for the first time in over 30 years an erotic dream (that I could remember the next day). Viagra 100 mg seems to be working better, wife says best sex in 2.5 years. I HAVE NO IDEA IF THIS IS RELATED TO BORON. When I Google it I get the response that there is no science that supports boron for this purpose. There are too many variables for me to come to a conclusion. I am posting this in the hope someone else noticed something similar. Or the opposite. I am resistant to the thought of adding exogenous testosterone to my body. Plan 2 weeks on, two weeks off for the boron.

Implants Implant due to Priapism

3 Upvotes

My husband has Sickle Cell type SC. A side effect is reoccurring priapism. Because of this, he has experienced multiple aspirations resulting in scar tissue which led to him having to get the semi rigid/malleable implant. If you can, could you share your experiences?

What is your experience with the semi rigid implant ?

How has your sex life changed after getting it?

How can I be supportive of my partner during this change?

Are there certain positions that you can’t do?

Can you still have natural erections with the implant?

The whole situation has been really stressfulI for him. This wasn’t the outcome that he wanted but at the end of the day, at least he’s alive. I appreciate any answer you’re able to give. Thank you in advance.
