For Erectile Dysfunction "I'm 71 and still love sex with my wife. Sometimes I get distracted and lose partial erection, so I tried Viagra for the first time last night. This was after seeing my physician. OMG. We had drinks and dinner before going to bed. Took Viagra, and thirty min later was hard but only after being stimulated. I lasted until after I wore her out, not bragging, and I was able to make love again 30 min later. During the night after going asleep, I would get close to my wife and would get hard. I experienced this maybe 4 times during the night. I experienced some stuffiness and slight headache, but it was all worth it. Wow!"

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 "Healthy, robust 53-year-old here... 50 mg works great but on an empty stomach. Slower and less effective on top of food. Reaction within 30 minutes, with better erections up to 9 hours later. Side effects: nasal congestion, flushing, fullness in head, eye pressure, sometimes increased heart rate and respiration. Poor sleep, next-day fatigue, and slight anxiety. I went crazy with this when I first started and took it every day for a week. Lots of fun. But it completely wore me out. No, it wasn't all the sex. It really does affect you in a negative way with too much use. I find increased side effects if I take it near the time of thyroid medicines. I take it once a week or so, and it's worth the side effects."

For Erectile Dysfunction "Around 55, I began to experience erectile dysfunction occasionally, no erection or losing my erection during sex. I finally asked my doctor about options, and he prescribed 20 mg Viagra. Wow! The results were immediate and reliable. Try to take it on an empty stomach, but even after a meal, it will work, just takes a little longer. Now at 60, I’m able to have multiple rounds within an hour or pound the wife again the next morning. I think the confidence shows, and I get noticed more by other women and have had a few since getting my prescription. Only side effects are some nasal congestion and slight flushing after taking a dose. I’m glad I tried it."

For Erectile Dysfunction "Used Viagra as an alternate after Cialis. Cialis at first provided repeated strong erections in a 24-hour period after years of severe ED. However, after 3 to 4 uses, the erections were too weak and too short-lived to sustain intercourse, so I switched to Viagra. At first, results were good. I had fewer erections, but they were longer lasting than Cialis and quite firm. However, this only lasted 2 or 3 uses before the same symptoms appeared as with Cialis: erections too weak and short-lived for intercourse. Also, moderate to severe headache, stuffiness, and fullness like a severe head cold."
