For Erectile Dysfunction "I don't see any women commenting, maybe I'm the first? My husband is 13 years older than me, started having 'unreliable' erections a few years ago (in his late 50s). This was causing me to feel insecure, thinking maybe he just wasn't turned on by me anymore. We did not discuss it, I was afraid it would cause anxiety and make matters worse. Viagra was recommended by a friend, so we tried it, and that was the best erection my husband has ever had! (In 25 years!) I tell him it just helps him meet his best potential. So this has been a part of our lives ever since. The 45-minute wait is actually kind of a turn-on because I know what's coming. I love it and I highly recommend. Side effects: blurry vision and stuffy nose."

For Erectile Dysfunction "My partner has ED occasionally. He was advised to try Viagra. It was effective after about 2 hours when he achieved a really veiny, stiff erection. This was a great improvement and lasted as long as we needed and again the next morning, however, the side effects were unpleasant flu-like symptoms (i.e. headache, sore throat, blocked nose, etc.) which lasted for many days after. For this reason and due to the high expense we will only use this on 'special occasions' from now on, until we find an alternative."

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'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."

For Erectile Dysfunction "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."

For Erectile Dysfunction "I'm 48, and it makes me feel 20 again 'down there.' I take 25 mg on an empty stomach, pre-dissolved in water, and it works in 10 minutes. Side effects have been very mild: stuffy nose and an occasional light headache. It allows me to be very effective for about 4 to 6 hours with a quick recovery time. This is a great medicine, but don't overuse it. Taking it every day is not as sweet as once or twice a week."

For Sexual Dysfunction, SSRI Induced "A strong pill for erection, but with some side effects. 12.5 mg works great (strong erection) 30 min-1 h before and lasts for 3 h-4 h. It's easy to recover erection but can be lost sometimes. Side effects (0 h-4 h): - Stuffy nose. Side effects (4 h-12 h): - Stomach discomfort, indigestion - Sleepiness, trouble sleeping. Tried Levitra, not as strong as Viagra, but some side effects. I'm now trying Avanafil (25 mg) and by now, no side effects (maybe because of its PDE5 highly selectivity), but lasts only 2 h."

For Erectile Dysfunction "I am 59 and have been using Viagra 50 mg for a few years now. When I first started taking it, I got quite a bit of blue vision, some mild headache, and stuffy nose. I've been cutting my 50s in half and taking them about 30-60 minutes before sex. From the get-go, I have always had nice, hard erections that lasted plenty. Here is what I found can weaken the effect of Viagra: 1) fatty foods - do NOT eat a big, greasy burger and then take Viagra expecting a big one... 2) alcohol - I can have a few beers spread over the evening, but any more than that lessens the effect or doesn't last as long as it would normally. My insurance covers my prescription for only $20, but I only get 6 pills a month, 18/90 days, so I'm going to 100s, still cut them."

For Erectile Dysfunction "I found it very effective. I maintained an extremely firm erection within the 4-hour period. Side effects were occasional runny nose and a tired eyes feeling. An unexpected side effect was increased blood flow to the area up until the next day occasionally and could get and maintain an erection."
