Sildenafil "I am 37 with an ED problem. When I first got 25 mg doses, it didn't work for me. I then tried the 100 mg dose, and it worked. So it's just the perfect dose. It varies from person to person and their medical conditions."

Sildenafil "Ok, so I'm 26 years of age and struggled to get hard not because I can't, but because of nerves. My confidence was shocked. I started seeing someone new, and she wished to be active. Lo and behold, I couldn't get hard. So, I got Viagra 25 mg online. I took one 30 minutes before activity, and my goodness! It was amazing, worked so well. I was even more aroused than normal. The hard-on lasted much longer than normal, and if I did go soft, it did not take much to get hard again! The main side effect I found was a stuffy nose, but let's be honest, that was the last thing on my mind! I have also talked to my doctor, and because I did masturbate a lot, like once or twice a day, she did say this too could also be a cause. So, I stopped masturbating as much. Things are much better. Viagra helped with my confidence, and my partner and I are having the best sex of our relationship."

Sildenafil "I’m in my mid-40s and have not been able to perform for the past few years like I used to. My erections were not strong and would go away quickly before ejaculating. I decided to talk to the doctor about it and set an appointment. The conversation with the doctor was easy to have, and we spoke about the symptoms. He gave me a few options, and we decided on Viagra to start with. The doctor prescribed 100 mg. With generics now available, I was able to get 30 pills for about $26 from the pharmacy at my local grocery store. I had read reviews and learned about the headaches. I took my first pill with ibuprofen to avoid a headache. About an hour later, things were ready to go. Our first session was great, lasting about 30 minutes and lots of 'Wow's. About 20 minutes later, ready to go again for another 30 minutes. And about 30 minutes after the second session, my wife asked if I was ready for another session, which I was. The only side effect was the flushing, but it was not bad."

Sildenafil "I take 100 mg Viagra on a regular basis, and it is wonderful. My erections are not as good as they once were, although they are still firm enough for penetration and stay firm enough for a 'quickie.' When we want a longer and more vigorous session, I take 100 mg Viagra, and this ensures that my erection is very firm as it was long ago, and I can maintain the erection for as long as is required. My wife loves it and often gives me a pill when she is wanting a really good time."

Sildenafil "I'm in my early 60s and am suffering from the usual aches and pains from arthritis, injuries, and just old age. Shooting pains from my knees will make me limp during sex. I can't easily bring this up with my family physician, so I ordered from a U.S. online pharmacy in Arizona that charges a 'consultation' fee prescription that's only good for purchase on their website. I quartered a 100 mg Viagra tablet, and after about 15 minutes, felt a flushing sensation around my nose and eyes. Then we had sex like we were in our 20s for an hour. Only one star taken away because of the high cost. Can't wait for OTC Cialis next year."

"I ordered the meds because of my inabilities to maintain a hard erection after having some prostate issues in my late 40s. Now in my 50s, it seemed like my best sex was over. Took the pills and stayed rock hard all night, was able to have regular sex for hours. Before, with sex, I would often finish before my wife as I finished too fast. On this night, she had to push me off. She was satisfied before I was. I came 3 times. And it only took me a few minutes before I was rock hard again. Best sex I ever had. Never performed that well or was that hard through the whole act. Great find! Extremely satisfied-worked beyond my wildest dreams."

Sildenafil "I'm 57 and enjoy an active sex life with my wife. In the last few months, erections were not as strong, and I had not been able to maintain it a couple of times. During my physical, I talked to my PA about my problem staying hard, and she said I wasn't that old and should still be enjoying sex and suggested I try Viagra. I take a half pill (50mg), and other than a flushed feeling (lets me know it's working), I have no side effects. With the extra blood flow, I'm as hard as I can remember, and my wife says she can tell I'm longer and thicker, so I can relax and not stress over it."

Sildenafil "I'm 71 and have been using Viagra or sildenafil for about a year. It is a wonderful drug, but getting the dosage right is critical. I can still get an erection without help, but it had become a bit unreliable. I started off taking half a 50 mg tablet. It certainly worked, but I felt it was just a bit too much. I now cut the tablet into 4 and find a quarter of a tablet makes all the difference and barely gives me any side effects. The half-tablet dose was too much for me. It gave a very strong erection but reduced the sensations and gave me a slight headache. So I reckon it's worth experimenting to find the minimum dose you can get away with. (NB the low dose works better on a reasonably empty stomach)"

Sildenafil "I took Viagra last night for the first time. Took 50mg, waited 50 minutes and nothing. Took 50 more, and since last night I've had four strong erections, 4x what I normally have had. Strongly recommend. Much more confidence in myself."

"I'm 52 and have struggled for a year or so to maintain an erection during intercourse. I was usually able to get hard enough to penetrate my wife, but increasingly it got soft before I could come. Took 50 mg last night an hour before sex, and wow, ended up with a rock-hard erection. Lasted 40 minutes for the first session, and my wife orgasmed twice, and 10 minutes later was hard as a rock again and in for a second session. My wife was amazed and so pleased. She couldn't remember the last time it was that intense. I could have gone again 10 minutes later, but my wife was exhausted in a lovely way. Best thing I ever did buying this amazing tablet. My confidence in bed is returning."

Sildenafil "Viagra is the only medicine I have taken long term, i.e., more than 2 years. It has really been a help for me, without it, my erections are much softer, unreliable, and of short duration. My wife couldn't be happier. The only problem was cost. I live in Australia but travel a lot for work in Southeast Asia. On one of my business trips to Thailand, I got severe food poisoning and had to go to a local doctor. He asked me if I was taking any medication that might affect the medicine he was prescribing me, and I just said the only thing I take is Viagra. He laughed and said I must be a rich guy. He asked me if I wanted to try Thai Viagra called Sidegra, it's really cheap here. So from that day forward, I've been using Sidegra and buying it online."

Sildenafil "I am a 61-year-old male having trouble getting erections for intercourse. Gets halfway and boom gone. The doctor gave me Viagra 100 mg, take a half and it works good. Tried a fourth of one, does not work as well. Works well and no side effects. This has given me confidence back and I enjoy sex again. I have noticed it takes longer to ejaculate and sometimes I never do the second time around. Thank you."

Sildenafil "I was 50 and had ED when I met this young woman, initially did not know what was wrong as I could not perform and had to abandon the act with excuses. A month later, I was prescribed 50 mg and took it an hour before, and it worked fine as we both had a good time twice in one night. I was exhausted in the morning, had a slight headache, and felt heat on the body during the night but was fine the next morning. Since then, it has been 12 years as I am 62 now, and I have taken this miracle drug of 50 mg every weekend when we make love, and it works great. Even though I have controlled my BP drug medication, the last 12 years have been great with Viagra. I only hope it will help until I am 65 when I would probably say goodbye to sex."

Sildenafil "Works great for me. 25 mg usually is enough, but I'll take 50 mg if I've been drinking. With 100 mg, I can cut a diamond in half, but the sensitivity goes away. I get them online, which I found after days of research. I pay $1 for a pill versus $30 with my insurance, plus insurance told me only 4 pills a month. I get blushed in the face sometimes as the only side effect for me. The pill lasts about 4 hours."

Sildenafil "I am in my 60s. I needed a small operation which the consultant said might affect my sex, it did, and I slowly lost confidence. He suggested Viagra, and it failed the first two times, however, on the third time, it was fab. Your mind is very much in control, you MUST not expect the drug to simply work by itself. It works only when you are sexually aroused by adding to the natural process already taking place in your mind/body. Take your time, fancy your partner, and combine it with a little foreplay. With my confidence back, we have slowed down our use of the drug and often don't use it at all... Tip: Be relaxed, be very interested in sex, give her a nice massage, and it should work out fine."

"I'm a 64-year-old sexually active bloke. I had struggled for around 3 years after recovering from a heart attack with problems achieving and maintaining an erection during foreplay and attempting penetration during intercourse. My wife, who is 12 years younger than me, encouraged me to speak to my doctor about it, and in somewhat typical 'bloke' fashion, I finally plucked up the courage to speak with him about my problem. Being aware of my health status, he prescribed sildenafil citrate 50 mg, saying that I should start with 1 tablet on an empty stomach 1 hour prior to sex. We gave it a whirl recently, and WOW, what a difference! Around 60 minutes after taking the sildenafil (even after recently eating), I was up and hard with little stimulation."

"Tried sildenafil for the first time this weekend for ED. It has a tendency to make an outgoing personality not so much. It did not make me rock hard at 60 mg. I'm thinking it should have. The next day, I did 20 mg and then later that evening, 40 mg more. Each evening, I had trouble getting to sleep. The second evening, I had to get out of bed due to the side effects. Honestly, I really thought I might be dying. It made me feel extremely thirsty with dry mouth symptoms, made me feel like I had to sit on the toilet for about an hour, and I had what is described as a flush, which was the complete body sweat coming over me. Unfortunately, I was in a very remote area, and it made me very concerned for my life. I will never take it again."

"I'm 54 and was good in sex until 53, and later I saw because of work stress and other life stresses and big gaps in the sex made my erectile dysfunction, and I believe one more reason when I was taking some medicine to control my blood pressure, those medicines also affect my sex process. I decided to start Viagra (Sildenafil) 60 mg in June 2020, and it worked well. Within two hours, it started working, and that goes up to four hours. No major side effects. So far, each time I see a little sinus, and then it goes away in 12 to 18 hours, and maybe very minor headache the next morning. In one month, I completed 10 episodes, it worked great with two to three days' gaps. I am also focusing on natural stuff which helps, like goat milk with almonds and other nuts, and reducing work stresses and unnecessary life stresses as well. Hope it will help you to understand my experience."

Sildenafil "Yes, I achieved good erections after about 40 to 50 minutes and yes, I could repeat the experience a week or two later; however, the side effects drove me away from it. Side effects: Annoyance, blue-tinted vision lasting about 2 hours. First, migraine-like headaches. No conventional medicines would relieve the pain, sensitivity to light, nausea, and lethargy. The most disturbing was difficulty swallowing for about 3-4 hours. I ended up switching to 'Levitra'. Only a mild headache and some other minor effects for 2-3 hours. Not quite as good of an erection though (80% to 90% as good)."

Sildenafil "I'm 46, a healthy bull of a man, but I have been using high blood pressure medication for the past year. The medication has made my erections not quite as firm as I like and can remember. Viagra - wow. It made me as hard as I was when I was in my 20s. I forgot what that was like. My wife and I enjoyed the heck out of my magic blue pill."

Sildenafil "I'm 76. Been using Cialis for BPH and also ED. Tried Viagra last week. Wow. Never performed so well. Took about 2 hours before sex. Had a great erection and lasted as long as I wanted to. Decided to climax after about 1/2 hr. of continuous intercourse. My partner was amazed and said it was the best! I had received 50 mg tablets, but I cut them in half. Seemed to be more than enough. Maybe I'll try 50 mg for comparison."

"50 yrs old. ED started mid 40's. Tried Cialis - sometimes worked. Got this and WHAM! Took a test dose of 60 mg and did not tell my g/f because that night - I wanted to make sure it worked. 2 hours later BAM! I stopped her from making dinner and led her in the bedroom. Haven't had that stamina since I was in my 20's! Needless to say, we are both smiling and glad a generic form of Viagra is now available. YAY!!!!! is all I can say. I was about to give up and live a life of no sex - which was not an option for me."

Sildenafil "I'm in my early 50s and have found it difficult lately to achieve an erection. So, I started on sildenafil 25mg but this didn't work for me, so I increased the dosage to 100 mg. I found it best to take a couple of hours before going to bed. After some foreplay, I was rock hard and my wife and I had hard, vigorous sex for over an hour. I had an explosive orgasm and I was able to carry on until she came. My penis was bigger and thicker than normal, and after 20 minutes, I was rock hard again, and we had sex again. I found it difficult to reach orgasm the second time, but my wife wasn't bothered as she came twice. We went at it for ages, was hard all morning, and we had sex on and off. The only side effect I experienced was a slight headache, but I just took some paracetamol. This medication has really boosted my confidence, and my wife is delighted. I have also cut the tablet in half lately, and this is satisfactory. Oh, and take it on a completely empty stomach for best results."

Sildenafil "All I can say is thanks to my doctor for Viagra! I'm only 48 but had been suffering occasional issues with not getting or keeping an erection, and it was becoming an issue. As any man knows... once you think too much about how important it is to get the erection, it's not going to stay or happen! The doctor recommended trying Viagra 50mg to get back into the swing of it after the usual checks. He actually said probably cutting the 50mg pill in half would work, but I popped in the 50mg anyhow at the end of a meal out and gave myself the recommended 1 hour. Amazing results, lasted 30 mins on this! Poor wife had to take a breather halfway, but she loved it! Half a pill next time, had slight dizziness. Repeat prescription for us!"
