For Erectile Dysfunction "This is a miracle drug! Psychological ED for 25 years. I wasn't too bad with my ex-wife as I drank to mask anxiety. Nearly 5 years without sex as couldn't get an erection with a woman. Always okay in masturbation. Went to see a doctor after 25 years of silence for Viagra. Was skeptical. Went on the first date and took a 50mg pill 45 minutes before sex. Hot flush in the head, watery eyes, but okay. I had the most amazing sex, I couldn't believe it! Full erection straightaway in stimulation. Had full sex twice, orgasming both times in half an hour!! I was overwhelmed. A 25-year problem sorted in 45 minutes. I'm so confident now. Thank you, Viagra, I still can't believe it."

For Erectile Dysfunction "Been having some erectile dysfunction problems on and off this year, noticeable since November 2014. Decided to speak to my GP about it. Given Viagra, 50mg. Taken as needed just to get things kick-started again. Took it last night. Bit of flushing, a slight sore head but have had worse, even had one glass of wine an hour later. Action in bed - incredible. Rock-hard, large, could last a long time, enjoyable. Woke up again at 6 for round two - same again. And then another round at 8:30 am - same again. 12 hours later and if I get turned on, things are happening again. Seriously impressed and if it's got things kick-started again, then it's well worth it."

For Erectile Dysfunction "I am 49 years old. Two years ago, I was promoted to a senior management position. The extra stress at work was all too much and this has contributed to my ability to maintain an adequate erection for sex. I spoke to my Doctor, and he suggested 'Viagra 50 mg' for my problem. It takes around 40 minutes to work and is worth the wait and the money! I find the effects of this medicine last for around 12 hours and is best taken without alcohol and on an empty stomach. The first three times I used Viagra, there were the side effects of a stuffy nose, some minor heartburn, and diarrhea the next day. By the fourth pill, the side effects were all but gone! My wife is not aware that I take Viagra, and she comments on how good our sex has become. Thanks V"

For Erectile Dysfunction "I am a 30-year-old disabled Army veteran. Got my prescription of Viagra in the mail today from the Department of Veterans Affairs medical system. Took it around 10:45 pm and around 11:30 pm started to become flushed in the face and had a slight headache. But when it came down to business, it works great. I stay harder longer and don't go soft as quickly. I can satisfy my significant other with great pleasure now. I am glad I talked to my doctor about my erectile dysfunction. I never would have thought that the VA system would ever give the pill to veterans who have erectile dysfunction. But they do."

For Erectile Dysfunction "58-year-old with mild high blood pressure. I'm in very good condition but was experiencing less than perfect erections. Viagra works very well for me. I typically cut a 100mg pill into 4 pieces and take a 25mg piece. It does work best on an empty stomach. For example, eat a normal lunch, come home from work at 5 pm, take Viagra just before eating dinner - works for the rest of the evening. Seems to last longer than the stated 4 hours. For the absolute fastest results, for a little Saturday morning fun, take it right after waking up, wait 15 minutes (time to drink some coffee), and have at it."

For Erectile Dysfunction "Age 75 and had problems with having an erection for about two years. Had good sex with wife but it was a poor substitute for sex we had even five years ago when erections were hard and long-lasting. Just bought Viagra 50 mg with marvelous results. After 45 minutes, erection as hard as 50 years ago and great climax in vagina. Two hours later a similar result and even woke next morning with a very pleasant erection. Can’t wait for next sex session."

For Erectile Dysfunction "I am 63 years young, a veteran with some health issues which cause some problems due to pain. The pain is so distracting that I wasn't able to achieve and maintain an erection. My doctor suggested Viagra 100mg. While I still experience pain, I am able to perform, enjoy myself, and my loving wife is very happy. It's been a real blessing."

For Sexual Dysfunction, SSRI Induced "My doctor recommended that I print out the coupon from Pfizer for the 3 free tabs before he prescribed Viagra because of the cost. I was directed to take 1/2 of a 100mg tablet (which was easy to cut in half). Seemed to start working 45 minutes to one hour after taking. Worked well, but 4 hours or so after taking it, it wore off. Yes, was trying more than 1 hardy attempt! This went on for almost a year. Doctor switched me over to Cialis. Cialis has become my 'weekend warrior' pill as it lasts almost the entire weekend."

For Erectile Dysfunction "I'm 59. Never had any issues with erectile dysfunction before. Five years ago, I experienced ED due to work stress. Tried Viagra and others and had the worst headache of my life. Tried it again a few months ago after starting testosterone replacement therapy. First, 10mg Cialis got me semi-hard to penetrate but didn't last long. Tried 50mg of Viagra last week and OMG! Felt like 19 years old. My wife loves it. I feel like a man again. Was advised by doc to also 'exercise' with a pump to improve blood flow. Six weeks later, I've grown in length and girth. It is crazy expensive but feel it's worth it now."

For Erectile Dysfunction "I was finding it more and more difficult to get an erection, and when I did get one, it was not as hard as it was a few years ago. I also found that I could not maintain my erection, so sex was being rushed, leaving my wife unsatisfied. My doctor prescribed 50 mg Viagra, which helped but did not completely solve the problem. She then upped my prescription to 100mg, and this has been amazing. After about 45 minutes of taking the Viagra, just the thought of sex gives me an erection, whereas previously my wife had to give me a lot of stimulation to get me up. Also, my erection is a lot harder and is maintained as long as we want. It really is fantastic."

For Erectile Dysfunction "I'm 47 and in good health except for a heart condition. I've taken 20mg, 50mg, and 100mg tablets and they all produced outstanding results. I like to take them on an empty stomach, and most of the time, they're working within 20 minutes. All information about the drug says that it lasts for about 4 hours, but for some fortunate reason, they produce solid erections ALL DAY LONG and well into the next day. 50mg seems to be the sweet spot for me if I want all-day and next-day action."

For Erectile Dysfunction "Okay, first report here. 50 years old and a decent sex life, but the usual decline in maintaining the firmness over the last few years. Yes, I can live with it but more interested in satisfying my wife who, if anything, has been more sexual (and orgasmic) in the last 5 years or so. 25mg an hour before expecting an opportunity for sex and member was indeed ready to go without much coaxing. Sex was solid and no anxiety about losing focus.. still erect after the major orgasm and it took some time before going down (boy has THAT been a while). No side effects besides a very excited wife!"

For Erectile Dysfunction "I'm a 28-year-old guy with erection difficulty, mostly I think from performance anxiety and just life anxiety too. I've taken Viagra when I need it for over a year now and it is AMAZING. It will give you firm and lasting erections an hour before taking it. I take 50 mg but find sometimes I take 75 mg if I know I'll have a longer night with the girlfriend. Now, it is expensive, even with insurance it costs about $30 per 100 mg pill. So splitting it would be $15 per 50 mg dose but it is SOO worth it being happy with my girlfriend. It has improved confidence in my sex life immensely, not always worrying if I can get and maintain an erection. The side effects for me (but manageable): stuffy nose, headache, bloodshot eyes, heartburn."

My partner told me she felt like she was on cloud 9. I must admit, at 69 going on to 70, I felt in my 30s. I highly recommend this, but just be careful?"

For Erectile Dysfunction "Having struggled for about 12 months to maintain an erection, my doctor recommended Viagra. Wow, minimal side effects - occasional headache, but that's because blood is rushing away from my head. The erections are like when I was 20. It takes effect after about 30 minutes, and my wife only needs to look at me, and I get hard. It's not lasting any longer, but the beauty is I can get hard 4 or 5 times over 3 to 5 hours, and again in the morning. We are in our late 40s, but we feel like 20-year-olds."

"This is a miracle drug. I have diabetes and have had troubles keeping an erection for a number of years. I started taking Viagra about a year ago and the results are fabulous. I started with a 50 mg pill, but me just being me wanted more. So now I take the 100mg tablet and the results are GREAT! I have multiple orgasms and so does my lover. Our relationship has improved 500% and would not trade it for anything in the world. Thank you Mr. Viagra. You are a genius!"

For Erectile Dysfunction "My confidence has been diminishing over the last few years, and by age 45, I noticed that my erections were not nearly as firm as they used to be, so I had an online consult with a doctor who prescribed Viagra. 50mg to start to a max of 100mg. I did notice improvement taking 50mg. I had a confident erection that I didn't lose when it came time to put on a condom. Recovery time was better, but overall I wondered if it could improve. I moved up to 100mg, and WOW, what a difference! I am ready to go, anytime. Barely any recovery time, and my partner and I had a number of sessions over a span of 4 hours, and I could have kept going. Even into the next day, strong erections were easy. I took the pill on an empty stomach, an hour before the fun started. I did notice that while I did keep erect longer and more often, ejaculating was more difficult after the first time. My partner didn't mind though! Really happy overall. No side effects."

For Erectile Dysfunction "I'm a 29-year-old male. I have been using Viagra for a while to treat erectile dysfunction. I use the 50mg pills. I find Viagra to be extremely effective. The only side effect for me is a mild hot flush after taking one, which I actually find to be mildly pleasant. It's usually the first sign that the drug is taking effect. I get a very strong and long-lasting erection from it. I also find that I last longer before ejaculation, and it gives me a shorter refractory period. It has been a miracle drug for me. I would highly recommend getting Viagra instead of generic sildenafil if you can get it for a similar price."

For Erectile Dysfunction "I have taken many sedatives for years and this finally took its toll on my sex life. I noticed it a few months ago, had the talk with my Dr. He gave me 100mg of Viagra. It definitely does the trick. I get a little sweaty and can feel my heart race, but it makes me feel like a man again! My wife will call ahead to make sure I'm prepared, so I guess she's enjoying this too."

For Erectile Dysfunction "I am 77 and have been taking Viagra for 6 months. A really wonderful medication! Was having unreliable and short-duration erections. I started with 50mg but reduced to 25mg and kept the great results. Hard for approximately 30 minutes a session, always ending in sensational climaxes. Have increased frequency of intercourse to about 5-day intervals (34 times over the past 6 months!). This is because the sex is so fabulous, and we are both not at all impatient to finish. No side effects. Recommend it for all you older guys, but you should also keep physically fit."

For Erectile Dysfunction "My husband suffers from erectile dysfunction occasionally, which is mainly due to his anxiety. He was prescribed Viagra and takes 12.5mg with water and on an empty stomach. After about 1 hour, he gets a great erection which lasts for about 45 minutes. This is great for both of us. The side effects he experiences are a mild headache and nasal congestion, which lasts for about 6 hours. I would highly recommend this medication but would suggest taking time to find the best dosage to suit individual needs. We will continue with our current low dosage as this works very well for us."

For Erectile Dysfunction "Currently 58, diagnosed with enlarged prostate 25 years ago. Never had any issues until the past few years. Probably a combination of age, weight gain, and not exercising as much as I should. This led to performance issues and firmness problems. Was given 50 mg sample pack by doctor, cut them in half to ease into the drug. Found that 25 mg 30 minutes to an hour before sex was perfect. Took me back to when I was 20 years old, no more having to rush through before things 'deflated'. Was able to last as long as I wanted. Only issue I had was slight soreness in my legs at first, but nothing serious. Highly recommend !"

For Erectile Dysfunction "Viagra has been an absolute miracle for me. For a while before I started taking it, I was having trouble getting and maintaining strong erections. The best I could manage was a 'semi' where my penis would get to around 60% hardness. Erectile dysfunction is difficult to deal with for men of any age, especially so when you are in your 20s (I'm 24) and are supposed to be at your peak sexually. I'm using the 25mg Pfizer tablets, and they work amazingly well. No side effects. I now have very strong and rock hard erections. I'm a much happier and relaxed man now. It is quite expensive, but they are worth every penny."
