For Erectile Dysfunction "Tried this as an alternative to phosphodiesterase inhibitors (Levitra and such) just because I get some side effects from these and wanted to see if I got better results with fewer side effects. Slightly awkward application, sticking a plastic stick down, though I rather like the sensation. Have to say it works REALLY well for me, a bit of penile pain in the area where the pellet is deposited in the urethra, but really quick onset of erection (no need for stimulation at all) and a really firm erection. 500mcg dose is good for me. Also keeps me hard for a good while after climax, so feel ready to go again after a bit of a breather!"

For Erectile Dysfunction "After hit or miss experiences with Viagra, I tried 250 mg Muse and the results are stunning. 5 minutes and notice immediate effects... 10 minutes later about 80% erect with zero stimulation. After 20 minutes, ready to go. I did notice slight pain (not to the uncomfortable stage) with erection but at 66 years old, it works like nothing else and after ejaculation, about 50% erect and with modest stimulation from partner, good to go. Takes about 90 to 120 minutes before wearing off. Works with no Viagra-like effects (headache), works while drinking. It's a 10 with me."

For Erectile Dysfunction "Worked fantastically. I have tried Caverject since and it worked ok but had a semi that lasted about 3 hours and the injection site was painful. I've also tried the new Vitaros but found it useless. MUSE though... the erection drug of the gods!"

For Erectile Dysfunction "After trying Silendafil and Cialis after prostate surgery, neither worked for me. Using the Caverject injection was good, but not a big fan of the needle. Using the 500 Muse was great for me. Little pain during insertion, but got a really good hard-on. I will continue to use it if effective, if not, surgery for me. I do recommend this product if your insurance pays for it. Mine is free with the Veterans Administration."

For Erectile Dysfunction "I am not your typical user! Did Muse at least 50 times. This I know. Every erection is always different, but ALWAYS BETTER for that day with Muse. Sure, there might be pain in your penis, but look at the color of it. Bright purple, right? That's because there is more blood in there than even in your youth! Did 5 minutes a day on an elliptical machine, reaching 15 minutes after a month. Did a Muse 1000 mcg and had a 4-hour porn star performance. Could have hit it with a board, only an ice-cold shower brought it down!"

For Erectile Dysfunction "Tried it once by itself, very slight results after three minutes that lasted only about five minutes, and caused a lot of penile pain that lasted over an hour. Tried a second time after taking Cialis first, as suggested by the urologist, and it was even less effective with very slight results that lasted less than five minutes."

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 "Creates only a soft erection; not enough for intercourse. I have mentally separated ejaculation from intercourse because what I primarily want is the sense of 'oneness' with my mate. With a MUSE injection, I feel a sort of pain, which also is felt in my ankles and lower legs. It's pretty useless for me. Does give a soft erection for a short time."
