I did take them every other day for a few weeks. But now I only take them when I need to, in the morning if I plan to have sex that night.

Apparently you can have them within half an hour of when you plan to have sex. That would suit me better. I like to pick my time and as I never know what a day will bring forth,having them in the morning would be too early for me, unless we definitely planned it together.

I have only been cutting down on cholestrol for a week which basically means cutting out most of the saturated fats. In my case this means hard cheese, chocolates, butter and marg and generally keeping an eye out for saturated fats.

I woke up about three in the morning with such a hard I couldn't believe it. I don't know if this is a one off or if wanting to go to the loo had anything to do with it.

Apparently ED can be a warning sign that the arteries and veins are beginning to clog up. In men it affects the sexual organs first as the blood is hindered from getting to the sexual organs. I am taking it as a warning anyway. I hope to cure this simply by diet if I can. Cialis can do it temporarily but it still leaves the cholestrol problem.

tonyc: Hope dietary changes do it for you. Being diabetic as I am, the docs automatically put you on ace inhibitors both for BP and to protect the liver and kidneys. The BP drug isn't a problem for me in terms of libido, but it gave me a killer cough til we switched the med. But, I do know it can be a problem for a lot of men in that respect. The statins for the cholesterol really suck for me though. No effect on libido. but I get He really tries to eat healthymajor muscle cramps if I take the full dose. Nothing like having a cramp when you're trying to be romantic. Problem is my husband's on no meds at all, so we can't blame his ed on that. He's trying a nutritional approach right now, but our goal is to get him in for a complete physical in the near future.

My instinct is not to take statins. I am taking a dietary approach.

Hi Tuxgirl. I did take my first cialis yesterday. I was unsure of what would happen. One doesn't feel any different. Just a sense of grafting something onto one which felt a bit unreal. I was wondering whether to instigate sex but in the end gave up as I was getting tired after swimming and had a big day the next day.

As it happened my wife asked me if I would like her to do something to me and I thought what perfect timing. She did what she did and not to give too much info I banged her rotten. I think she really enjoyed it. I am not giving up the diet but I must say it is comforting to have that in reserve.

Today I went into the loo to check if you know what I mean and it's still working. I didn't think it would work so well. I have a feeling it works better the second day than the first as one feels themselves again and not a bit strange with it, The ones I got from the doctor are effective for 36 hrs.

My wife doesn't want me to use it too much so I don't rely on it. I agree with her but if sometimes we need a real good session thne I will use it the,

Good for you Tony! Cialis is pretty amazing.

BTW, I took a 20mg sample today to get ready for tonight. Wow, don't think I'll do that again. LOL.

I came across this group. My Husband and I have been married 16 months. Each month this E.D.thing - or whatever the heck it is!- seems to be a bigger issue. Strangely, the only time things seem to work is when we get drunk. But I hate this. What's worse, is that we are in our 20s, and it seems the whole world is getting pregnant! Due to young age, we are trying to stay away from meds... Obviously no friends my age can relate to this, and usually I don't want to bring it up anyways.

Generally it is a lack of blood flow to the sexual organs and it shows something is wrong with cirulation. Okay cialis does help but I wouldn't call that a permanent solution. I believe mine is cholestrol which I am now cutting down on. With me mainly cheese, chocolates and would you believe it butter and marge.

In one so young Brown Eyes I agree with Peterpaul he shouldn't be having this.

Another different reason is the use of porn. this is where the sexual drive is being diverted to activities on a screen. A kind of mental adultery in fact. This severely disrupts a normal sex drive.

Tony: Thanks for the report on the Cialis. My spouse is really kind of paranoid about taking a drug for this and even though we have seen some small progress with the supplement approach, I don't think it's going to solve the problem without some additional help. We've tried using some inexpensive pumps and rings, but so far it hasn't done the trick. But, the supplements do seem to be helping some with his libido, or perhaps he's finally realized that I'm not going to ever say no to him when he wants to play unless there's really major reason like an illness or injury. I'm not sure which it is, but at least there's better communication about it and a lot more intimacy with other methods of pleasure which is all very good and a lot better than the ways things had been.

I think you are ahead of us Tuxgirl. The Cialis worked for about two and a half days but then I had side affects. Pain in the back and at the back of the knees and legs. I felt about a hundred years old and had to work through it for about two days. There is obviously something negative in it that affects me afterwards. My wife was worried about it and I was too. I did enjoy being twenty again but there was a cost that I'm not sure I want to pay long term. Health is more important to both of us.

I haven't figured the answers about sex. The desire is still strongly there but it pains me when I know she loves IC.

Funny I was thinking the next step might be pumps but I like the supplement idea. Can you tell me what that was?

I'm still pressing ahead with lowering my cholestrol count which I hope might do something. I'm also wondering if Viagra is any different but not too hopeful of that. Like all drugs there seems to be a cost and maybe unknown costs that are not known yet.

How are your cramps?. I am getting them now for some reason. Mainly in bed but a couple of times whilst walking. Change of diet?

I would love to go the route of just having fun but can see that my wife gets so much from IC. Maybe she will slowly recognise my predicament and suggest answers herself. Like you we do have very good communication about it which is very important.

Tony, the supplements he's using at the moment are Vit. D., about 4,000 units per day and herbal mixture capsules we found at Whole Foods. They carry quite a few. The product he selected has a daily dosage that can be taken or a four capsule dosage that can be taken at one time when sexual activity is planned. I do have to be honest with you though, we haven't reached a point that the capsules provide a full on erection, but he's only been using them for a couple of weeks. However, we also have not noticed any bad side effects to the capsules. So, that in itself is a plus in my book. I don't want him to end up creating health issues because I want him to be a 22 year old in the sack again. He's also tried some of the more inexpensive pumps and support rings, but they haven't helped all that much so far. The rings all seem to allow the blood to flow back out and deflate the effect of the pump. At some point though, he may decide to look into a better type of pump. But, right now, we're both just into getting back in touch with each other again and giving each other pleasure, and that in itself is wonderful.

Tony, as long as I space my statin doses I pretty much keep tje leg cramps at bay. I just can't handle the regular dose every day. My chol. level could be a little lower, but it could be worse.
Try some magnesium, calcium and potassium. They help.

Thanks for you honesty Tuxgirl. I am continuing with the diet and haven't touched the Cialis again. Although it worked I didn't feel real and she was worried about the side effects and so was I. What I am getting now is really strong erections when I wake up. These aren't sexual but it does show there isn't anything wrong physically. If I try to arouse myself sexually then it is not there so much. Very strange.

I think it is really great that you are doing sexual things regardless. I wish mine was a bit more open to play. She will do what I ask within reason (no oral though) but I know she really craves IC which makes me feel selfish and unable to satisfy. I did try to cultivate os on her but she is not comfortable with it so I have nowhere to go really.

With regard to the rings I have tried those but not the pumps. My wife was worried about those stopping the blood. I use them occasionally.
The thing seems to be to keep the erection not get it. Why does the blood flow back out I ask myself. In the morning there is no problem. Maybe has to do with tireness ? I can get a non sexual really hard erection for a quarter of an hour or more in the mornings. As I lay there I do kegal excercises while I am aware of it hoping these will help. I don't think strengthening the muscles there will do any harm anyway but we shall see if all this works. The erections started a week after I started the diet so something seems to be happening and it feels healthy.
