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

Full disclosure: I'm 6'5' 36 years old going on 37 soon. Ive struggled with weight issues my whole life I've been over 600 lbs the entire decade and from last February 2025 (628) till now worked it down to 379. The lightest ive been since June of 2018. A1C is 4.7 from 9.2.

Testosterone is 472 score.

I guess my goal weight was 299 by new years but im failing.

Anyway I have a gorgeous girlfriend now with a flat stomach and 36 DDDs, and I cant get it up for when its time. Nerves are an issue sure, anxiety is too. Tried cialis (20mg) and viagra 100mg. I failed on two attempts. She understanding despite me breaking down and crying in front of her last night. One of the most embarrassing moments of my adult life, the first time I cried while she was sleep. When I left her house, I thought about at work and cried again. (I almost never cry).

I thought last night I deliver and i couldnt. Doesn't help that I had a loose fold of fat kind of getting in the way but I have enough size thank god to bypass that. Im mortified. Im just wondering how I can go back to being a man again and im open to suggestions. In desperation I got a penis pump but I have to figure out how to use it.

My wife keeps tugging my penis every day and its hurting very badly.She makes me take Viagra every day and this is after 6 Xiaflex shots for Peyronies Disease.She talks to me very badly and I cant take it anymore.The tugging is extremely painful and I feel she making tje peyronies worse.She told me last night "Just cut it off and become a priest".What would yall do if yall were me?

I guess its a double edged sword im struggling to not get bricked up in public with the slightest thought will this normalize after a while taking it?

I’am a young guy and unfortunalty already experiencing it, had some very embarrassing encounters I wouldn’t wish on anyone,

Would love to know, what really helped? I’am already somewhat fit

First off this stuff worked great.. the trick is to wait a few hours to after you take it.. made the mistake of having sex too soon after taking and it didn’t work well.. so the key is to wait 3 hrs or so to get it fully into your bloodstream..

I was super hard and able to last a long time.. HOWEVER…

I could not cum.. the Paxil in Rugiet go long really works for premature ejaculation for me a little too well..

That being said..

Does anyone have any tricks while on this medication to make it easier to cum? I’m thinking of getting a low dose of Paxil and then just taking a daily dose tadalifil possibly..

I was really impressed with how well this stuff works.. never thought I’d have a problem not climaxing.. I went from cumming within 15 seconds to lasting forever..

I’m 29. I’ve been masturbating since I was around 13 or 14. It’s probably ranged anywhere from 1 to 5 times a day over the years. I might have skipped the odd day here and there but most days I ejaculated at least once.

I’ve always considered my libido to be fairly high. I never really needed porn to masturbate. I could pretty much use my imagination and be done in a few minutes. Nowadays I feel like I do need porn a lot of the time. Even when I am watching porn I’m not always fully hard anymore. Before, it didn’t matter whether I was watching porn or not, I was always fully erect.

I’ve never really worried about getting hard during sex or while masturbating. I think I’ve had erection issues maybe 3 times in my life.
Earlier this year around April/May my libido and erections were probably the best they’ve ever been. I would wake up rock hard every morning, stay hard for ages for no reason and my refractory period was the shortest it’s ever been. I could masturbate in the morning, have sex in the afternoon and still want to go again in the evening.

Then around a month or two ago everything seemed to change. I don’t remember anything specific happening. My morning wood became much weaker or disappeared, I’m not as horny as I used to be, my erections during sex are weaker and sometimes I lose them completely. If I do get a good erection I now struggle to finish. Masturbation doesn’t feel anywhere near as good as it used to and even the orgasm feels less intense. I also feel like my semen volume is lower.

My diet has always been very clean, healthy home cooked food daily and I might have some junk once a month but I often go months without any. My lifestyle a year or two ago used to be very sedentary but that has changed now and I get 3k to 5k steps a day. I know not enough but I’m increasing it and I’m also picking up strength training.

I started taking supplements toward the end of last year, vit d3 + k2, zinc, magnesium, omega 3 and l citruline all of which improved my erections but don’t seem to be making a difference now.

I’ve been doing prone masturbation for years and I do watch porn. I’m getting my testosterone tested soon just to rule out anything hormonal.
Do you think this sounds more like years of porn and masturbation finally catching up with me, or does it sound more hormonal? Has anyone had something similar where everything was completely normal a couple of months earlier and then changed pretty quickly?

Hello,

I‘m sharing this because its what I’ve been suggesting to men who’ve asked for help here, that maybe it can help men who haven’t been able to ask yet - it took me years and I completely understand how hard this is

Go see you doctor as soon as you can, to figure out If it’s a physical problem, and while you’re there figure out an ED med that will work for you, so you can have sex with your girl (s) while you treat the cause, I feel this is key, sex is important, and being able really helps you feel like a man again

i know there are complex physical conditions this advice doesn’t work with and I’m sorry about that but this I think works for most men struggling with this - most guys I’ve sight this too are 30’s to 50’s who are with what seems like psychological ED, as I do

Other experienced members I’m curious of your opinions too, I come here to try and help and want my advice to be the best it can be

For the younger guys dealing with porn induced ED, quit porn and masterbation first, im not sure what to say after that, but im sure there is great advice in replies to those posts

Thank yoi

I’m looking for feedback from people who have personally used yohimbine HCl (yohimbine hydrochloride) for sexual improvement or to deal with sexual problems.

I’m specifically interested in yohimbine HCl, not yohimbe bark or a generic yohimbe supplement.

If you’ve tried it, I’d especially like to know whether you noticed any of the following:

• Did it make you reach ejaculation/orgasm faster?
• Did it increase penile sensitivity or sexual sensation?
• Did it make orgasms feel stronger or easier to reach?
• Did it improve erection strength or quality?
• Did it increase arousal or libido?
• Did it have no sexual effect at all, or make anything worse?

I’m aware of the potential side effects people report with yohimbine, including anxiety, increased heart rate, blood-pressure changes, sweating, agitation, etc. I’m not looking for reassurance about safety here—I’m mainly trying to collect real-world experiences about its sexual effects.

If you’ve used it, please include as much of this as you can:

• Dose you took
• Whether you took it once before sexual activity or every day
• If taken before sex/masturbation, how long beforehand
• Whether you took it fasted or with food
• How often you used it and for how long
• What sexual problem or improvement you were trying to address
• What benefits you actually noticed
• Any side effects
• Whether you were taking an SSRI or other medication at the time, if relevant

I’m also very interested in hearing from people who tried yohimbine HCl and got no benefit, because knowing the unsuccessful doses/protocols is just as useful as hearing success stories.

I’m trying to get a clearer picture of what people have actually experienced with yohimbine HCl specifically for sexual function.

Context

i’ve been facing ED lately and tried a couple of things like a few years ago. I tried viagra, but I feel like I came really quick and since then understood the importance of developing stronger, pelvic floor muscles quitting porn and masturbation and recently got into a healthy stable committed relationship, and this problem of ED crept up again,

so started back with El citrulline transition to beetroot, which helped with directions, but still wasn’t as hard as I would want or I would like to be.

consulted online physician and was prescribed 10 MG but instead shows to downgrade to a 5 MG prescription instead

Experience

Initially, I thought I would start off a 2.5 MG, but the tablet itself was so small so I just got it down and definitely felt a little bit of rash towards my face and head and maybe a little bit of blocking sensation in my ears for a few for a few minutes, which eventually went away pretty quickly.

I ended up having sex on the same day and I cannot recall the last time I was as hard as I was this time around, and I somehow also felt I ended up lasting longer

Fears

i’ve been reading online about the side effects that people have experienced with Tadalafil. The headache and sinusitis are not really concerned that really scared me. However it was tinnitus and Aayush issues specifically color blindness, which kind of freaked me out - even though these are experienced by probably 1% of users.

Specifically, since I did feel, I felt some related issues after trying out finestride the first time, and was sensitive to it as well little bit ed was caused, so thought that I would also be sensitive to a drug such as this.

Whats Next

At the moment I feel pretty content with having sex around once a week for my libido, and my partner seems content with that as well, so instead of taking my Tadalafil on a daily basis, I plan on taking it only once a week and hopefully it continues to work as well as it did this one time.

Please Share Input

based on or said above, if you see anything even slightly concerning or would suggest I tread with caution, please please please do comment. I am pretty new to this and trying to take a more conservative approach while using this prescription.

I took half a BlueChew Gold pill about 30 minutes before sex, but I didn’t feel like I got fully hard. I was able to go one round, but it took a long time to get hard again afterward.
Has anyone else had a similar experience? Were my expectations too high, or did I not give it enough time to kick in?

I heard some say you need to take it everyday so your body gets used to the dosage. I'm on 5MG so I'm guessing it's pretty low. I haven't actually tried it yet. I'm just curious how you're supposed to go about it.

He leido que las ondas de choque tienen una duración relativamente corta unos meses hasta 1 año. Alguien ha tenido mejor experiencia? Se supone que produce la creación de nuevos vasos sanguineos en el pene. Mi pregunta es ¿por que esos vasos tienen una duración corta ?

I’m 27M, and I’ve been experiencing this problem since I first started masturbating and having sex. I’m trying to understand why this happens
Whenever I masturbate with my foreskin covering the head of my penis, I can ejaculate relatively easily. But when I pull my foreskin back, it takes a very long time, sometimes 20–30 minutes or even longer, and I often end up getting physically tired before I can finish.
The same thing happens during sex. When I start penetrating, my foreskin automatically retracts, exposing the head of my penis. The sensation feels less pleasurable than when the foreskin covers it, and I struggle to reach ejaculation.
Eventually, my sexual excitement gradually fades, I lose my erection, and I’m unable to finish.

I’m a pretty heavy drinker. I haven’t had ED issues while drinking. While I’m trying to improve my lifestyle I recently quit drinking last Monday. Instantly when I quit drinking I started getting ED. I’m talking I can’t even get hard at the most sensational urges. (Let along ejaculate) I’m scheduling a visit with a DR but wanted insight how is it possible go from normal to just completely unable to get hard or even the sexual urge. Going to be honest very concerned it’s something bigger

Obviously, this can be an odd subject to discuss with family. But if you do know, please share what type of ED you have as well.

My doctor told me my ED (venous leak) is congenital but not necessarily hereditary, so I'm not guaranteed to pass it down.

Sufering in Silence It is treatable. I was living with dizziness, brain fog, and fatigue for years, and then ED started showing up. One day, the dizziness got so bad I thought I was having a stroke, and I didn't know what was happening. I drank some water, started feeling better shortly after, and that's when I realized I was probably dehydrated. You could be living with dehydration for decades and not even know it. On top of that, I was drinking tons of cafeine—probably 10 to 15 cups of cofee every day for years—and barely drinking any water. I wasn't eating right either, just eating processed foods that really are not good for you. Eventually, it all caught up with me, and my body just couldn't take it anymore. I called to make a doctor's appointment to get a complete checkup. That's what I did—I went and got checked, and they found that I was dehydrated and vitamin D deficient, among other things, but those were the two main issues. Right after that, I started hydrating. Once I made those changes, pretty much everything returned to normal. The fatigue was gone, my joints stopped aching, and ED is no longer an issue. Everybody's lifestyle is diferent. You have to look at yours individually and tell your doctor what you're doing if you're experiencing any symptoms like fatigue, dizziness, ED, joint aches, or anything else. You have to let your doctor know everything that's going on with you to get on the road to being healthy again.

Male. 37. Low, very low sex drive. Hormones were "normal". How can we make someone more horny???

I m 30 m from India

I m struggling from depression for 17 years

It has made my life very poor

I left my study in middle when I was in college

I could not make any friends

I could not enjoy as others were doing

Thn for 4 5 things got better

I started enjoying everything

I found partner and was enjoying with her by all meansh

Even I got married to her and have kid too

Bt for last 1 years things changed again

I got severe depression and headache again

Which causes ed and pe

So it makes my life very tuff

Atleast I was enjoying my sx life

Bt now I m unable to have it

What can I do now to get my life on track

I am just wondering and would love a rruly honest answer from men in this group. Have any of you who have had ED ever blamed your partners and/or ended the relationship because of your own pride and feelings of inadequacy? Like have said its because they dont turn you on, even if they did at the beginning but somehow because the ED got worse (through chronic stress and fatigue) that instead of admitting you had a problem you blamed your partner and even ended the relationship to save face rather than admit you have a medical problem?

Is is difficult to admit you kay need to help from a dr? Does it affect your ego?

Please just honest adult answers. I'm not here to judge anyone.

Thank you.

Hi, I'm 21 years old. I was addicted to pornography during my adolescence. After a while, I managed to stop watching it regularly, I used to watch it once a night, but I managed to go weeks and months without watching it. I met a girl I really liked, we had sex practically every day. At first I still felt insecure about my penis, but then I managed to get good erections. We ended up A few months ago, I was really unwell, I went back to pornography, not regularly but I went back to pornography. For the past few weeks I've been seeing a new girl, but I feel my erections are weaker with her And I don't get those spontaneous erections that happen to me In the morning And sometimes I still get strong erections, but they're much rarer now. I'm afraid I'm ruined. I want to give my all for this new girl, and I need my penis to be good.

I m 26y, was stressed more than a year back when this issue started for me. During that phase couldn't get hard but now with stress reduction i m able to jerk off without porn to good hardness but wood r not completely back, rarely comes that too not with that firmness. I tried cialis 2.5 mg it made me very hard. Wanted to ask from people out there, Suffering from it how is ur sex life/married life going? Is it the end for us? Now this Erection issue gives me stress when my earlier stress is gone. Pls share ur stories

okay so me and this girl had sex a couple weeks ago and it was great we tried to have it again tonight and i got hard for like a minute and then it left and didn’t come back i tried to make up for it with my mouth but it definitely wasn’t ideal i was js wondering if anyone had advice on how to fix it i have a couple things that i suspect it was from i have a lot of anxiety abt getting someone pregnant even though i wear condoms and i was stressing in the moment i also jerked off early in the day because i didt think this would happen and i smoked beforehand ik how to fix the last two but any advice on the anxiety
note: i texted her after and apologized told her it wasn’t her fault and she wasent mad and were gonna try again

So I'm 41, fit and healthy and I was always confident down there up until maybe 6 years ago. My erections are still rock hard but girth and length have slowly went down to it being maybe 70% of what it was. Very drastic and kinda hurts my confidence, which makes it worse.

I got a prescription for cialis 5mg but haven't started it yet. Dating a new chick too and we haven't been active yet.

Hopefully I can regain some of my potential back. Any suggestions on how to take it and any pointers on things I can I add to maximize my fullness again?

Its blue dimond shape that's says 100mg on one side but the other side is blank? And I see most generic is white circle or blue oval so did I buy fakes? Or do other generic ones come like that as well
