"Just started this and like it so far. I keep waking up with morning wood, and my erections are harder than normal. Urine flow is slightly better, and bathroom trips are less."

"Yes, it helped my urinary flow, but the dry ejaculation and lower sex drive are a deal breaker for me! I'm going back to Flomax or using nothing. I really like sex!"

"The retrograde ejaculation (no semen) and decreased libido are not worth the benefits for sexually active men. If these side effects are of no concern, then try it, but I hated it."

"The lack of semen freaked me out at first, but I got over it. It's like having a vasectomy, my friends tell me. But my erections are just as strong, and my orgasms are better."
