This is my first post and I literally have no clue if this is the correct place to put this to ask, but I was interested in exploring more supplements to try out. Tadalafil caught my eye for freaky pumps but I just wanted some opinions and just general: is it worth it? pros? cons? etc…
I’m not interested in using it for it’s intended ED purpose and I’m a lil worried that it’ll mess up my johnson. So far from what I researched the side effects look pretty tame. Also worried about walking around the gym with a potential hard on lmao.
For context I’m 18, 5’10, 212lb, and fairly lean, no PEDs.
I don’t know if anyone will respond but I’ll check up on this every so often.
My doctor offered daily tadalafil as part of an anti-aging regimen and I tried it. I read about pumps and recovery at the gym and all that too.
I didn’t like it. No pumps to write home about and if anything I just felt stiff. Like my muscles. I had a constant low key headache and congestion too.
It worked as advertised in the boner department but so does keeping up with cardio. Honestly didn’t notice a difference in quality, just a quicker “readiness”, but then it felt weird. Artificial for a lack of a better term. Couldn’t finish when I wanted, felt outside my own pace, sort of disconnected from my own dick somehow.
I dropped it.
Things that have given me the best gym pumps:
Timing carbs just right before high volume work
High volume work
I think people just say they’re on tadalafil for the pumps because they’re embarrassed. If your dick isn’t working take it, but try legit cardio training and you’ll be punching holes in drywall all the same, with short if not negligible to non-existent recovery periods. Especially at your age.
I’ve used a bit of sildenafil at a point when I had low confidence, for a little boost in the bedroom.
For my experience, and friends who tried it for the pump, I would not consider it. The drawbacks (possible headaches and such) overweight the meager pump benefits.
I’ve tried it. It doesn’t do a damn thing for exercise performance. Pumps mean nothing for that matter too.
It is not intended to increase libido but for me, the blood flow and warm sensation it provides had me thinking about sex more than usual. The day after the first night I took it, I wore my fashionable, thin layered, Fila golf pants to work (business casual and it was Spring), and I sometimes had to hold my clipboard in front of me while talking to coworkers, nearly all of whom are women (not joking). I couldn’t get my mind off sex for much of the day.
My libido is fine for a 45 year old, but I used it on and off for a particularly stressful and busy year in which my libido was shot.
I did not have one negative side effect, only pros.
Thank y’all for the advice, didn’t expect this many answers so fast lol. Ig I won’t be trying it out, perhaps one day, maybe for different reasons lmao, uhhh but yea, thank y’all so much
When i was in my late 20’s I spent some time in Bangkoc. I already brought some DAA/Triazole/Macuna with me and I really didnt know theyed be selling Viagra on the street corners. Needless to say, i embarrased myself walking aroung the mall lol. I was young. Should have rolled eith it. Some single lady would have been interested but I didnt whant to get kicked out if Long John Silvers lol
For me, the pumps are absolutely insane. I can see a huge difference between a standard pre workout, tadalafil, and tadalafil plus a pre workout. Works for what its RX for. My only side effect was the estrogen lowering issue, which is major for me.
