Taking 2.5 or 5mg?
I would take 5. My urologist said if need can even do 10 a day. And many of his patients are on 10. But I opted to take Viagra if needed and keep it at 5.
Remember those that have pulmonary hypertension take like 20 mg 2 times a day do thatās 40 mg altogether in a day.
5 should do the trick. if you have more sex on the weekend you can just take an extra 5 like on a Friday.
Iāve been reading the entire thread and I can relate to something Iāve never been able to understand and neither have the fee Drās Iāve told including a Urologist.
If Iām erect (enough to actually have sex,) and on my back I can last the entire time. If I change to missionary, almost like a light switch turning it offā¦I lose it. And I then go back on my back (if sheās willing to work with me,) and Iām hard again. Not one dr including the urologist whoās supposed to be a very experienced one could help me understand this. Theyāve always given me a perplexed look like Iām crazy. But itās been that way since I was maybe late 20ās. Before then it didnāt matter what position I was in.

I think itās blood flow. If you take a ped5 do you have the same problem?
My problem was when I would sort of get up on my knees from laying in missionary and I would lose it.
Iāve read some accounts that changing positions they would lose it
With Viagra/Cialis no problem
Good question. Viagra always made my face feel like it was about to pop like a balloon. Makes me extremely red and warm. Cialis 10-20mg helps greatly. But even on Cialis, while it makes for a stronger election, it lessens significantly in missionary. Wonāt stay hard enough for penetration.
So I stick to my famous line of ābaby itās my favorite positionā¦ā. And when Iāve been honest about why I donāt like trying missionary, I get the feeling that she feels like Iām damaged and it wonāt work out long term. Hence many exās.
I agree, this sounds like a blood flow issue, or maybe a sensitization issue? Changing positions can sometimes cause issues, but Iād guess yours is either blood flow or mental (nothing wrong with it being in your head; thatās just as powerful as a physical issue. Just needs a different solution)
Edit: sorry, the suggestions should go to the OP, not to you zup
The Uroligist gave me an ultrasound a few yrs back. Said everything looked good. I assume that would show lack of flow? I just donāt get how it could be mental. Iām fairly sexually aggressive when Iām with someone I really like and am attracted to and Iād say sexually confident. I dunno. Maybe Iāll figure it out at some point. Or Iāll meet that one woman who has no problem accommodating the two positions I donāt seem to have an issue with. No rush.
Same story I have, changing positions is like playing a game of roulette for me.
I looked into this before may be something with pelvic floor, or mentally being programmed to function one way due to repetition.
Iām interested in this as well. I definitely have positions where there is a big difference in quality or erection. I always thought I had a slight veinus leak or what ever itās called
I still have times where I have trouble even with cialis. I have spent the last 4 years of my lifetime struggling and not being my self and I am over it. Do not get me wrong there have been plenty of periods through out this journey where cialis worked great but after sometimes things go back in the dump. My main focus is to try to figure out what went wrong with my hormones or my body in general which lead me to be on TRT and try to fox the cause. Are you on TRT?
That has to suck to face that barrier with being sensitive to E2. Have you guys tried to just get off of TRT in general?
Sometimes I feel the same way. Am 44. I started trt a bit over 3 years ago. I just feel it happened so acutely
All of a sudden blood pressure goes up for weeks weeks night sweats, heart palpitations, only sleep two hours a night for several weeks. Went to cardiologist I guess because I complained of erections which I could barely get one. Check my testosterone and it measured into 200s twice. He ended up giving me Xanax which actually helped calm everything down.
But then after few weeks even when I started feeling better my testosterone in the morning measured 380. See after a bunch of tests I ended up going on TRT.
But sometimes I wonder was My testosterone being low a symptom or the cause of my other symptoms.
But then when I think about it in my life I never really had normal size testicles from what I look at. Balls never really hung. Never grew full mustache. Yeah I was able to successfully have sex while growing up and enjoyed my youth.And also my dick was never really extended in this soft phasee if you know what I mean.
So I gather I may always have had lower and testosterone and then I reach a certain age where I just couldnāt make enough.
So Iām comfortable with continuing TRT for life. Iām afraid if I get off of this and my testosterone crashes I can have other medical emergencies.
I also believe that I have a mix of primary and secondary hypogonadism. One of my testicles has a different echo texture than the other. So I believe that it just doesnāt make testosterone doesnāt make enough. And then I remember when I was in my twenties of vacuum sucked up one of my testicles. And while growing up wrestling with my buddies half of my head went numb which could of course problems also with the pituitary. But this stuff may be common if we think about it while we grow up.
If I stop T, Iāll lose my drive, my dick will lose its girth and look like a worm and the sensitivity will be about the same pleasure as rubbing my finger and unless youāre an alien of some sort, thereās zero gratification there. I will always be on T.
I realized that before I went on T, I was starting to not only have near zero drive but I wasnāt feeling the closeness that one would normally feel with someone theyāre with. I literally couldnāt feel that. I didnāt feel that love or special closeness with a woman. And I was slowly realizing that. While on T, I feel that again. Itās like night and day. Itās very important to meā¦this oil that comes in a little vialā¦very important.
Do have an idea of why it may have started?
I got my first sex experience at 23 so it probably occured ealier than that. However before that I was suffering from unexplainable fatigue, lack of motivation and gyno. I didnāt try any PDE5 until this year. However I get no response from 20mg cialis. Viagra worked great but only last 2 month until now it helps nothing.
Have you ever found the root cause of your ED? Low T or what?
zsub154 do you get morning wood and how is your ability to maintain your erection without cialis?
I realized that we are at the same age. And you have low T as well.
I have low T and low SHBG so my free T should be fine. I donāt know if I should jump to TRT or what. And I just donāt understant why viagra fell so quickly. I know people who took pde5 and build up resistance over years. I can f**k like pornstar if I took 100mg two month ago. And now I can take 200mg and even no side effects.
Sucks.
