For Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia "I'm 55 and was having soft erections and losing erection as well as Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia. Asked the doc about the medical options and he prescribed 5 mg Cialis daily, or as needed, approximately 1 hour before sex. I have just started but WOW this medicine has really worked for me. I am easily aroused and have strong, long-lasting erections. I wasn't used to being so hard and lasting so long, so I had a little trouble ejaculating, but when I did, it was like I was in my 20s. The one side effect has been pain in my backside. Eli Lilly offers a coupon for a free 30-day supply - what a great country!"

For Erectile Dysfunction "I'm a 31-year-old male. Physiologically healthy but with a whole load of stress and anxiety. I've suffered from erectile dysfunction since becoming sexually active. Viagra was a big help but even at a low dosage, I found the side effects intense - nasal congestion and headaches, often so intrusive they ruined the sex. I've tried Cialis a couple of times now. At a dosage of 20mg, it keeps me in a state of almost constant arousal, complete with spontaneous erections at embarrassing times, for 30 hours. My dosage is obviously way too high, and I will lower it. But at this high level, I have suffered no side effects, amazing! The sex is very natural, I am really very impressed."

For Erectile Dysfunction "I started taking Cialis when I reached 60 last year, when I started to lose my erection too quickly. As I have always enjoyed a good sex life, but suffer from diabetes 2 and high blood pressure, I consulted my doctor who prescribed Cialis 20 mg. The effect was nothing short of miraculous. I take it 40-60 minutes before sex. When stimulated my penis gets as hard as in my 30's. I last much longer, can repeat as needed, and the effects last for 24 hours so morning sex is back on the menu. My penis is also longer and more importantly has a bigger girth. Now I am having lots of great sex with both my wife. Highly recommended."

For Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia "I was experiencing frequent urination, especially at night. During the night, I would be up every hour to an hour and a half to urinate and flow was weak. I also had to urinate frequently during the day, although not as bad as at night. I was also experiencing increasing urgency, when I had to go, I had to go! My MD recommended Cialis 5mg daily to treat my BPH. I began to notice results in approximately two weeks. Now, I am up once or twice a night and my erections feel like they did when I was in my twenties (I'm in my sixties now). The only side effects have been flushing of my face and neck, not severe and only lasting a short time, and my eyes are bloodshot sometimes. Again, not severe. Very happy with the results!"

For Erectile Dysfunction "Great little piece of technology! I'm 63. Viagra was very hit and miss with me. I tried Cialis and am so pleased. I'm getting erections, random and intentional, just like I did 30 years ago. I'm harder and can come more often than with Viagra. I have found that I can take just 2 x 20mg tabs a week (one on Friday, one on Tuesday) and I am good for the entire week."

For Erectile Dysfunction "My hubby started taking Cialis on Friday, March 24. His issue was being able to maintain an erection. Within 3 hours of taking it, he was able to have intercourse with me and was able to maintain his erection, and it worked like a dream. It has been 2 days, and we are having sex like we did when we were 20! He is 43, and I am 45. I am a nurse and have talked with him about getting help, and I'm so glad he did! No side effects as of yet!"

For Erectile Dysfunction "My boyfriend is 57. He is very affectionate and romantic, and we have a very good relationship. A couple of months ago, he was having some trouble retaining an erection and would often apologize for being unable to finish the job. A few weeks later, I was very surprised to find that problem cured. He was able to last a long time and was harder and thicker than usual... very satisfying. I wondered what had changed. I recently, and accidentally, found Cialis in his medicine cabinet... wonder no more... he didn't say a word about it, and neither did I... I'm not going to knock a great thing!"

For Erectile Dysfunction "I am 60 and have ED. I have been taking Cialis and it has turned back the clock for me. I take 10 mg and 24 hours later, I am ready for action. The effect lasts for 36 hours. I can make love to my wife for 2 hours straight and not orgasm. In the meantime, my wife has had 3-4 orgasms. After resting a while, we go at it again, in all sorts of positions. My wife keeps begging me to orgasm, but I can hold on. Finally, after a week of making love like this, I decide to orgasm, which is so intense and long! Both of us are so happy. Cialis rocks."

For Erectile Dysfunction "Amazing. I'm 45 years old, average build, no medical conditions to speak of, but had low testosterone due to major work drama and stress. That took away from being able to make us both happy when the time came. I told my urologist I didn't think testosterone replacement therapy was the answer because eventually the stress would settle, and I would be stuck taking T shots the rest of my life. He gave me a 30-pack of 5mg daily Cialis and said give this a try. I took it the first time last night. Full stomach and even a couple drinks, and 30 minutes later we were staring into each other's eyes, smiling. It works better than I imagined and almost on demand. Since this works that well, I won't take daily but as needed. Thanks to all who suffered or studied to find this medicine."

For Erectile Dysfunction "For several years, my husband had problems achieving or maintaining an erection. For a while, he took Viagra, which worked well, but there's no spontaneity (e.g., I can't just unzip and give him the come-hither look). Then, his M.D. suggested Cialis, and whoooeey! Our sex life is incredible -- even better than it was in the beginning (given, ahem, more experience). He can take it on Friday, and anytime, anyplace that weekend we can have fabulous sex. We're also enjoying extended sex again."

For Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia "Avodart was causing me many problems including ED, decreased ejaculate, and decreased libido. Rapaflo was also causing quality of erection problems. I started Cialis 5mg, and the other medicines were out of my system in about two weeks. NO Benign Prostate Hyperplasia symptoms, which were for me having to urinate at night, plus getting great results from the erectile dysfunction side of Cialis. I sometimes take a 10mg booster of Cialis before sex, at the recommendation of the urologist."

For Erectile Dysfunction "WHOAH this stuff works. I took the 20mg pill cut in half (as recommended). I was very skeptical to be honest. After taking the pill, I did not feel any indication of special powers or anything. No tingling, burst of energy, or anything different. So, I was even more skeptical. Later, my wife and I started to kiss, and that was it. I was harder than I had been in a while. I felt like Superman, the man of steel. We were able to enjoy our experience without the need for me to rush. In fact, I had enough stamina to change positions 4 times. We went on for about 45 minutes before SHE said that she was getting tired. It felt like I could have gone another 45 minutes easily. All this with just half a pill. WOW"

For Erectile Dysfunction "I was given 5mg-28 day Cialis by my doctor as I've had a few concerns about my sexual desire and ED over the past 12 months. My wife and I are trying for our first child, and the pressure to perform in those few days of the month has been playing on my mind. After taking a pill at 10 pm Friday night, I was woken up a few times during the night with a strong erection. Come Saturday morning, my wife was pleasantly surprised by a rock-hard erection. For the first time in ages, I haven't had to think about if my erection will stay strong during sex, the urge and strong erection are now lasting all day, and I can't be happier. I don't want to be dependent on the drug, but it has given me a huge amount of confidence."

For Erectile Dysfunction "I am 48 years old and have had a severe case of erectile dysfunction for the past three years. I first tried Viagra and experienced long delays for it to take effect, usually 6 to 8 hours after taking it. My doctor then had me try the 5mg Cialis 'daily' dosage. WOW! Erections are now on hair-trigger alert, are instantaneous (even without physical stimulation), and at full attention. No more long waits (and loss of mood) for a medicine to take effect. It takes a longer time to ejaculate (my wife is not complaining). Another side effect is the ability to have multiple erections simultaneously (I'm not complaining). No headaches or stuffy nose with the 'daily' Cialis."

For Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia "I'm a 70-year-old guy who has had BPH for over 10 years. Was taking Avodart, which worked OK, but had the sexual side effect of reducing the amount of semen I produced, which greatly impeded my sexual performance. Switched to 5 mg daily of Cialis 5 months ago. I was pleased to find that semen production returned to normal in about 2 months, which was the main reason for switching drugs. But much to my surprise, I found that it reduced BPH symptoms by about 90%. It's turned out to be a miracle drug for me-no side effects that I'm aware of. Enhanced erections are an extra benefit."

For Erectile Dysfunction "It works out excellent, and my morning wood is back! My girlfriend loves it and says it looks bigger than the usual. I have an enlarged prostate, and Cialis has helped control the urinating frequency as well. Now I don't get up 3 or 4 times a night to go pee. I take the 10 mg every other day, and I can breathe better too! Because the blood vessels in my lungs get dilated as well and have better blood flow! This drug is amazing, and it lasts longer than Viagra!"

For Erectile Dysfunction "I'm 53 years old and in good health but was finding that my erections were unreliable and would often be lost during foreplay before penetration. After three failures in a row, I decided I had to do something. I take half of a 20mg Cialis and am ready to go in about 30 minutes. The erections are rock hard, and I now have my confidence back knowing that they will not let me down. The pill is effective for about 2 days, and I wake up with an erection the next morning just like when I was in my 20's. I've been taking these for 9 months now with no side effects. Amazingly good medication. I wish I had gotten these years ago. They are expensive, but by using half a pill which lasts all weekend, it is well worth the cost."

For Erectile Dysfunction "I'm a 41-year-old with all the stresses and pressures of a man. I took 10mg (I halve a 20mg). I do get some redness flushes in the face and a slight headache the first time I took it. The results are good. I feel like it helps with holding back ejaculation to some degree. I get a good strong erection and after some intense foreplay and sex, I had my first orgasm. I was able to maintain an erection for another orgasm and even attempted a third! My wife wasn't up to it, which was a good sign that we had both had a great time. She wasn't keen initially on me taking them but as a special occasion, I think she won't put up a fight! I have the side effect of remaining quite full, and my penis looks larger in a natural state."

For Erectile Dysfunction "I've been taking 10mg Cialis daily for the last six months. I can't say enough about how much it has helped with erectile dysfunction. Erections are firm and last long enough for two orgasms. I've discovered something else while taking Cialis. I have been dealing with symptoms of depression for several years. I've tried several of the antidepressant medications but had terrible side effects. Not to mention, it made the performance issue worse. Since taking Cialis, I've noticed my depression has all but disappeared. I did some research and discovered that some studies have reported that Cialis has helped with depression in men. I've got my life back and feel great."

For Erectile Dysfunction "I have tried Levitra, Viagra, and Cialis with limited effect. I went back to my doctor and was referred to an NHS Well Man Clinic and was prescribed Cialis 5 mg daily. What a difference! It takes about 5 days to really get into your system, but I now wake up with an erection every morning and I can get hard at any time, even if I have been drinking alcohol or eating."

For Erectile Dysfunction "Amazing. Using less and getting more than I thought. I was prescribed 5mg 'daily' tablets with the advice I could break them in half, as 2.5mg daily has also been effective. At $144 for 30 pills, this would offset the cost but I am finding an even better sequence as others have indicated. I found a 5mg pill at noon on Monday works EASILY into the evening of Wednesday. And another from Wednesday evening to Friday... maybe longer. The stuffy nose ends after a couple of hours so noon is a great time to be over the side effects. Good balance between a daily low dose and a high dose intended to be ready asap. The only problem is now that I can at any time. I think I want to all the time!"

For Erectile Dysfunction "I'm 29. I've been on this for about 2 years. I get mine free as I'm diabetic. Sometimes it's very hard for me to maintain an erection despite my age. This medication is amazing, and I've never had a side effect from it ever. Sometimes I could lose my erection if I had a lot on my mind during sex, I would go soft because I was thinking about something else. Not anymore. I have 20mg x4 split in half. So I get 8 servings from 4 tablets as recommended by my doctor. This can help even erectile dysfunction from psychological problems not just physical. 10/10"

I suffered some performance anxiety the first 3 times. I couldn't get or keep it up. I went to the doctor, testosterone levels normal, and he gave me a script for daily Cialis. After 3 days, prep Anxiety Gone. Rock hard. Almost zero stimulation required. Just go and get some. Don't be embarrassed to ask. It's all worth it in the end. Trust me. Best idea ever."
