For Erectile Dysfunction "Applying was easy into the urethra. 5-10 minutes, you feel a slight burning in the penis. But a good type of burning. You can feel the blood entering the penis and it stays there with a little rubbing. Only side effects are slight burning and aching. Lasts for me 2 hours. I am a healthy 70-year-old retired physical education teacher who looks 55. So much better than the ED pills without side effects."

For Erectile Dysfunction "I have tried just about every erectile dysfunction remedy available over the last few years, none of which did much for me. My erections just were not strong enough to facilitate good sex for myself nor my wife, and I was losing any sensation. My urologist suggested I try MUSE, and I did. But only a couple of times. The feeling I got was like being kicked in the groin. I thought the first time was possibly only a fluke for some reason, but I was WRONG! The second time was just as bad! I have NEVER felt anything like the aching and discomfort I experienced, possibly outside of being kicked in the groin. And my erection was just as weak as ever, and my penis was so painful sex would have been impossible anyway. You can HAVE this stuff."

For Erectile Dysfunction "At 57, after trying all of the pills and having hard erections fade quickly, and unrelated to our excitement, I pleaded with my doctor to try Edex. A lot is made of the injection itself. No problem! The needle is tiny. Remember 10 and 2, avoid any visible veins, and don't over-insert it. It was 1000 times easier and less painful than I thought it would be. Do hold pressure on the injection site for 5 minutes as directed to avoid bruising. I used 20 mcg, and in 10 minutes had an 85% teenage erection. It was an amazing, hulk-like, towel-rack erection and stayed that way for 1 hour plus. My girlfriend 'got there' eight times and was completely and fully satisfied. As for soreness... I can say my manhood, balls, stomach, and back muscles all feel like they had a 'full workout' last night... this is a wonderful tender feeling! Now looking for coupons. I want to go to work for Edex and be their spokesperson or sales manager -- this is how much I love this product."
