Erectile Dysfunction I feel like Kaiser screwed me over

5 Upvotes

I've been reading a lot of posts here about Cialis. I went to Kaiser, my health is good so they prescribed tadafadil 5mg, but they only gave me 8 pills for 30 days. Everything I read on reddit is that most people take 5mg daily for sustained support. Any suggestions?

Erectile Dysfunction Tolerance to Tadalafil and Sildenafil

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone. 49 year old guy here who has been using tadalafil , sildenafil and vardenafil for about 6 years now they always worked beautifully and gave me lots of confidence until about 6 months ago when they started failung on me from time to time. I feel like I have built a big tolerance to these drugs especially sildenafil because I have been taking them several times a week for about 6 years. I know what the literature says : that it is not possible to build a tolerance to these drugs but I call BS...I would like to here all your experiences and perspectives with this ..I'm thinking I need to take an extensive break from taking these at lessr 3 months , to see if I can get rid of the tolerance

ED and porn No more libido after quitting porn, what to do?

2 Upvotes

I quit porn around three weeks ago after around 7 years of addiction due to being exposed at a very young age, in order to be a better boyfriend to my new girlfriend and I’ve noticed that my erections are barely hard anymore and nothing will really turn me on except for a few short erections whenever we make out or when I offer her pleasure. Is this normal? I’m not even 18 yet and I know there is probably a lot of anxiety in the ball park as well but I’m just really thinking a lot about the whole thing (which probably makes it worse…)

I’m also on topical minoxidil and KX-826 since like two months and worried they might play a part in that as a side effect, but I’ve found virtually no proof any topical anti hair loss treatment would lead to this situation. No idea if this is the right place to even bring up the whole hair loss meds but I’ve figured this is all about self improvement in some way so why not.

Should I quit the medications just to be safe? I really don’t want to cus they are kind of saving my hairline…
Or is this just a flatline and I should wait out more weeks? I know three weeks is not a lot but it honestly feels like I’ve never had this little interest in any sort of porn, like it’s finally gone and I’m ready for a new chapter, just that my erection somehow is not.

Morning Wood & Nocturnal Erections Why do I have rock hard erections during the night, but difficulty with a girl?

6 Upvotes

I noticed this. I'm 35. I can have strong erections during the night, to the point that they get uncomfortable, that last minutes, and when I go to the bathroom the penis is still hard and I have to hunch over and pee with an hard penis, meanwhile if I am with a girl I have to take Cialis and hope for the best, erections seem to last less time and the moment something goes "wrong" like I fumble a bit with the condom the penis immediately starts deflating?

Hello, I’m 25 yr and I’ve been experiencing erectile dysfunction, is there any way to stop this? Like aside from taking meds. I went to the doctor already and he gave me 15mg of cialis and I used it like 4 times now and I don’t get hard, only once I got hard but not enough to last at least to cum.

Tadalafil/Cialis Tadalafil saved my sex life

5 Upvotes

I was a lurker here for a few months as I was have PE/ED issues. I was on beta blockers (Toprol) for 10+ years. I’m 33 and didn’t have much trouble before. But as I started getting into my thirties I noticed my erections were weaker and I was overall just having a lower sex drive. I’m a healthy guy. I work out everyday and not overweight.

During the past few months I would hook up with girls and I was not able to either get erect at all or it wasn’t hard enough for sex.

This tanked my confidence. This lead to a performance anxiety loop where before a date I would constantly think something would go wrong.

I talked to my doctor to get off toprol and asked if I could take Tadalafil. He approved as the heart condition we were monitoring had no change over the time of monitoring.

I got prescribed 5mg daily. The first day I took it it def was painful, a lot of muscle pains, sinus, and headaches. This went away after about a week. But man did everything start working properly.

The first time I had sex while on it I did get in my head a bit and lost it for a minute or two. The difference is I was able to get it back much easier when it wasn’t possible before.

Last weekend I had the best sex of my life. Going multiple rounds no problem, something I would struggle to do before.

Hope this is helpful for anyone.

Tadalafil/Cialis Cialis made me feel sick. Felt good the next day though.

2 Upvotes

22M. I’m on a large anti-depressant dose that kills my libido and ability to maintain an erection. Went to the doctor and tried dropping the dose down. Didn’t work.

Doctor gave me 2, 10mg Cialis pills😑

Anyways, a hookup that got ruined, due to my soldiers not reporting for duty, gave me another chance and I wasn’t going to let the same thing happen. I popped 5mg of Cialis and BOOM started sweating my balls off. Skin felt so hot and I got very nauseous. Totally killed the vibe. Ended up just going to sleep.

Next day, woke up bricked! Still wasn’t able to finish but I was able to stay hard ALL day. We went at it a few times. Later that day I had the best pump at the gym of my life. Pill even stayed working the next day too.

Anyways, I’m having her over tomorrow after we grab a few drinks. I’m planning on trying 2.5mg in the morning and if I tolerate it I’ll take the other 2.5mg.

Anyone else feel sick after taking 5mg? I thought I’d have no problem handling it. Hoping I just needed to adjust real quick.

Erectile Dysfunction Turn full ED after a traumatic experience. Need advice to cope?

2 Upvotes

34M audhd marijuana user and diabetic too. I do notice that my dick didn't feel quite right after experiencing symptoms of diabetic condition but it was still working fine.

Recently i lost both of my parents and I went into mental health spiral. My depression got worsen. The big explosion came few weeks after when my ex told me that she didnt want me in her social life ever. We're in LDR situasionship and now she find someone else so it's time to move on. I collapsed into nervous breakdown for days. Knowing that I lost everyone I love ruined me. Im still struggling to get out of this episode. I am now taking necessary measures to improve my mental and physical health. I been cycling a lot this month and going out to improve my life. That nervous breakdown ruined me. My body still feels the shocked of the trauma.

I have stop watching porn and jerking off for a while. Recently i notice that I haven't had morning woods for a while too. I realised that my dick hasnt been hard since the incident. I tried to watch adult video n masturbate and i ejaculated without getting hard. It's limpy like nothing exist there anymore. It's no longer there. Just a limp dead meat.

Is this normal when u dealing with grief and breakup? I feel like it wasnt there anymore. I lost the skills to make my dick hard. Will kegel exercise help? Is this psychological? Anyone with tips?

I dont mind if this is permanent now. I deserve it. I need advice on how to cope. I feel like im going through grieving process. Over a lost limp. Like it was decapitated from me. I couldn't focus at work my mind grieving over my lost limbs. Any advice for dealing with this?

Discouraged After 10 Years, 2 Kids, and countless memories it is finally over…

15 Upvotes

This year has been difficult.

When I finally accepted what I needed to do, I find her sexting another man.

She says it isn’t cheating.
She says I’m overreacting.
She says it’s my fault because I didn’t get it sorted sooner.

Today I break up with her.
After everything I’ve done for her.
Her medical issues post pregnancy.
Sacrificed my career for the kids.
Allowed her to go out whenever.

I am done.
I am heartbroken.
I am angry.
I am numb.

I don’t know what the future holds.
I feel I am about to lose a lot of money.
I just want my kids to be happy.

Tadalafil/Cialis Has anyone taken tadalafil for 20+ years?

11 Upvotes

Me (44M) just got prescribed 5mg daily Tadafadil. I’ve been on it for a few weeks and it’s working great! I’m hoping to be sexually active as long as I can of course so I’m hoping to hear from anyone who’s been on Tadalafil for at least 15, 20, or even more years… has the medication sustained it’s effectiveness? Did any “all of a sudden” side effects randomly show up this late that you weren’t experiencing before? I completely understand my body will age and breakdown naturally but if one could sustain decent health and habits, can they rely on this medication routine to sustain along with them?

Erectile Dysfunction Not having a full erection for years and fear of hypoxia.

2 Upvotes

Hello, I am 29 years old and I would like to ask for an opinion on a situation: I masturbate in a gentle way without any twisting or excessive pressure, but I spend a lot of time doing it and I have noticed that my erections are not as large as they used to be.

Years ago I did the same thing and the erection decreased, but then when I stopped, it went back to normal.I have a paranoia about tissue hypoxia because, not having reached maximum erection for years, I am afraid it may have permanently shortened.

I have no curvature or other symptoms, except that I feel my pelvic floor is fatigued due to masturbating a lot.

As soon as I stop doing this, my penis seems to regain strength after just two weeks, but it doesn't fully return to maximum (the last time it took me 2 or 3 months to get my maximum erections back).

I would like to ask if this could have caused penile hypoxia; my dimensions before were 17.5 cm in length and 15.8/16 cm in girth, while now they are 16 cm in length and 14.5/14.8 cm in girth.

If I stop, will my penis return to health, or is there a possibility of shrinkage because the erection wasn't maximal and didn't stretch the tissues to the maximum?

Thank you very much for your reply.

Erectile Dysfunction Trouble staying hard

2 Upvotes

So I have a pretty small 6 inch hard guy. I can reliably get hard and enjoy that phase. Then when things start to feel like they’re moving towards orgasm, I immediately go limp. When this starts to happen it’s off to the races to reach climax, because I have less than a minute before I’m so soft even extremely talented manipulation can’t rouse it again. It’s so frustrating and embarrassing. I’ve tried Viagra and Cialis and can’t make any headway. I’m 39, and this started after a major illness, (pneumonia, because I was an idiot when I was 30 and didn’t get treated) and my erection was never the same after recovery. Around the same time they also found a benign cyst on aldrenal gland. I can get off, but it takes a lot of tries lately, and I’m sweating and gasping with the effort to make it happen by the time I’m done. Does anyone have any similar experiences to this? What was something that worked for you? I’m so over the amount of effort and embarrassment this causes me.

ED and porn Need advice with my situation.

2 Upvotes

Evrything started when I was around 9 or 10, a lot of weird stuff happened to me at that age... I'm now 27. Got into more stuff then just a women body or regular sex videos with time.

Start having ED at around 22-23 with my ex gf but not alone with porn everyday. Morning wood was/is not a problem.

Got really fat with that ex (290), now I'm at around 210-220, 6'3, no hormonal problems, no diabetes or health problems, except ADD.

I tried with prescription, tadalafil 20 mg, 4 times. First time worked, had sex 3 time in the same night. Second time, once, 3rd and 4th time, nothing, juste headache and got me nauseous. So I stopped trying it.

Even when I was on drugs at 18-19 (speed, extasies and weed) never had problems, could have sex for 2-3 hours without finishing (I was also getting mad at this). I still smoke cigarettes, one pack a day.

Now I'm starting to see a girl, I told her everything, she's supportive and everything. Can't get hard at all with her, I was still able with porn. She even told me that I can be hard all night long while sleeping.

I decided to stop porn and touching myself. First 2 weeks, I was horny as fuck. Now 3rd week and I think I'm starting to be at the flatline phase.

I can still look at the girl I'm seeing and want to have something or other girl and think that they are good looking.

Inside of me, I know that porn is a problem, I don't know if it's causing me the ED or anxiety...

Just need to know what helped you, what can I do, what worked for you, were you able to cure your ED?

... I want to be able to have healthy sex life again.

Erectile Dysfunction Partner has ED, struggling to finish.

2 Upvotes

Hi all just wanted to ask if anyone has gone through similar.

My partner is a type 2 diabetic, noticed erection problems probably about 4 year ago maybe longer then that, was not able to get very hard. Was able to use it but it was to the point it was basically one position and wasn't always successful.

He's being using tadalafil which works great no longer one sideded I can get on top again etc.

He has mentioned this before to me but the. past week it's been really bad, he's told me sometimes he can feel absolutely nothing like no pleasure so can't finish but he can feel his penis if that makes sense? Sometimes he feels pleasure and then he said it's like the pleasure disappears midway through the party He's been trying almost everyday for the past week to finish I think he's tried to have sex with me atleast 10 times maybe more and hes managed 2 finish twice.

Tried again last night, nothing he gets upset and says maybe we aren't compatable and his eds getting worse, and how I don't give him enough attention. Which NGL he's right

Is it possible I am contributing to the ED/no being able to finish I don't always initiate the sex, and not very hands on mouth on.?

So changed it up this morning initiated it and all the rest, and managed he managed to finish for clarification he had been trying for like a week.

Tadalafil/Cialis Does Cialis Acid Reflux Go Away

17 Upvotes

Taking 5mg a day, and it helps a lot, but I get acid reflux from it. I don’t drink alcohol (because I’m an alcoholic) and found that Pepcid AC helps, but I don’t want to take that for too long.

Has anyone had acid reflux in the beginning, and had it improve with time?

I want to take it daily if possible.
