For Erectile Dysfunction "OK. Started dating again after being a single parent to 2 kids for several years. I started dating someone much younger than I. Our first time intimately, I could get it up but not last too long. I told her it's been a while... Went to the doctor the next day and got a script for the generic version. I took 10mg before our dinner plans so I knew that would be about 2 hours. The only side effect happened within minutes of taking the pills, which was my face was flushed and warm. It went away in a few minutes. Over dinner, I had a little anxiety about side effects, but that's the only one I had. We pretty much had sex all night long with a couple of cool-down naps. After sleeping in and some brunch, we had sex the rest of the day. She kept commenting on how hard I was and she couldn't get enough. I still felt the effects after 36 hours. Couldn't believe it. Basically gets hard when you want, not all day."

For Erectile Dysfunction "I'm 6 foot, 190 lbs, in relatively good shape. I smoke, have high blood pressure, but don't drink alcohol. I have a very attractive new girlfriend who is 24. 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."

For Erectile Dysfunction "Absolutely amazing. Works a treat. 10 mg 1 hr before. I suffer bad anxiety. This fixed me, this wonder pill. Is better than Viagra. I'm in my late 30s. I never had a problem until one occasion. Go for it, nothing wrong. Wow!! I will keep on taking it."

For Erectile Dysfunction "I am only 24 years old, but was prescribed Cialis 10mg by my doctor because I take anti-anxiety medication, and one of the side effects is decreased sexual functioning, i.e., erectile dysfunction. Cialis 10mg has been AWESOME. I take it about 30 minutes before I am ready for sexual interactions, and my erections are ROCK HARD. Kind of like they used to be when I was a teen. I can still have an erection without Cialis, as long as I am by myself, but if I get any sense of anxiety during regular sexual intercourse, my erection is gone. The 10mg formula is also known as the '32 hour' Cialis, and that description is quite accurate."

For Erectile Dysfunction "Utilized this medication at 20 mg with a history of being able to get about 70% hard sometimes, and the penis will go flaccid during intercourse, usually before orgasm. This caused anxiety and inevitably would lead to a self-fulfilled prophecy of sometimes not being able to perform. Took 20 mg an hour before going out and literally was able to have multiple sessions throughout the course of the night and achieve fully hard erections each time. This medication worked very well for me, the issue of ED arose after I gained a considerable amount of weight, and so now I am happy with the results."
