"I am 76. My wife died after an extended illness that made intercourse painful. Probably my ED was psychological, so when I met someone and wanted intercourse again, it was not possible. I had been on Cialis at a reduced dosage for prostate health for a couple of years and decided to go with the daily dose of 5 mg to see if that helped. Boy, did it ever! It took about three weeks, but erections were back as never before. Here is a 76-year-old man and a 65-year-old youngster having sex twice a day, usually with multiple orgasms for both of us. We are amazed. More sex in the past 4 months than in the previous 15 years for both of us. I did use a 25 mg dose of Viagra for the first couple of weeks, but soon found it was not necessary."

"Since my late twenties, I've faced ED. I'm healthy and not overweight. I wish I had taken Cialis during my first experience with ED. I highly suggest you speak with your doctor to try a sample or a prescription if you're the least bit curious or have ever had a bad moment with ED. Don't be embarrassed to talk to your doctor and specifically ask for it. I've tried Viagra, which didn't help. I also tried the 10 mg dosage of Cialis, which I enjoyed. The 20 mg is where I'm used to my erections being from when I was a teenager. Taking the 20 mg tablet of Cialis a few hours before, and my confidence is 100% in my performance. Also, I've had zero side effects."

"It's a cliche but this drug has transformed my life. I'd struggled with ED for years as my ability to achieve and maintain an erection diminished. This had become a real obstacle in our marriage since my wife assumed that I didn't care for her anymore (not true). I'd tried the higher strength 'as required' pills but found that they spoiled the moment - planning to have sex an hour in advance isn't good - and the side effects were not good. I take Cialis 5mg once a day. For the first time in years (I now realize) I often have morning wood and can have sex whenever the mood takes us. It's big and hard and doesn't soften at awkward moments. I feel 20 years younger. No side effects. Brilliant!"

"I have had no side effects from the daily dose 5mg. After 3 days on Cialis, it totally changed our sex lives. I do not regret starting this at all. My wife also loves it, she is 66 and I am 67. Highly recommend, my doctor tried me on Biafra first but I did not like it because it removed the spontaneity of sex. With daily dose, I am ready anytime my wife is, which is great."

"I'm 37, my husband is 63. We tried Viagra and it works. We decided to try Cialis this past weekend just to compare the two. Cialis is UNBELIEVABLE. None of the headaches or side effects that he would get from Viagra, and they really mean it when they say it lasts 36 hours. It is a little expensive, but well worth every penny to see your husband's confidence restored. Ladies, take it from a VERY satisfied wife: you won't be leaving the house for the entire weekend, so get everything you need before he takes the pill. Life is good!"

"I'm 67 and have been using Cialis for five years. I started with a 10mg dose with no response, moved up to a 20mg dose, and WOW!!! It takes me about two hours to start feeling the effects, and it works best after four hours. Erections are hard as a rock. I use the 5mg daily now due to cost and insurance not covering it. It's $9 for one 5mg pill and $275 for 30. I'm thinking of going to Mexico to get it cheaper. The wife and I have sex almost every day and sometimes twice a day."

"For the last few years, I started having trouble keeping my erections, which started causing issues in my relationship. So I finally asked my doctor about ED meds, and he prescribed Cialis 20 mg. The first time I took one, it took about 30 minutes, and WOW, I couldn't believe how good this worked-rock hard for the first time in about 3 years! Great confidence booster! The effects lasted about 2 days, this stuff is awesome!"

"I'm a 52-year-old who has a very sexy wife. I could not figure out lately what was wrong. During my waking hours, I would get an erection but not maintain it. In the middle of the night, I wake up to a rock-hard erection and my loving wife is always there for me. I went to my doctor, and come to find out that through several deaths in the family and a bunch of complications with my family, my mind would not shut down and enjoy what I had in front of me. My doctor gave me a sample of 5mg pills and told me I could take up to 4 of them for a total of 20mg, he said to start with 2... I should have started with one!!! Anyway, now I use Cialis only when my mind will not shut off. My confidence is again where it should be... Thanks"

"I began to have performance issues about four years ago, with sometimes good and long erections, but other times weak or short erections. My wife always has an orgasm if mine is sturdy. Contrary to the daily dosage advice, I only take Cialis (2.5 mg to 3 mg) two hours or more before sex, with satisfactory to very satisfactory results. That is about one to two times a week on average. Since I can't tell how my performance will be, I take the drug every time before sex, but on occasions without taking any, I find my erections strong and lasting as well."

"Here's one for the younger generation out there. 25 years old and healthy. My inability to perform was always present in my life. Part of it was anxiety, no doubt, especially with a new girlfriend who wanted sex on a regular basis. Getting an erection was difficult, and maintaining it was even more challenging. I gathered up enough courage to talk to my doctor about it. He gave me Cialis samples. AMAZING!! Rock hard so quickly, maintaining no problem, lasts over 2 days! What a miracle, no more issues in the bedroom, takes a load off my mind and the best sex I've ever had. I give it a 9 instead of 10 because it is expensive, insurance only covers 6 pills a month."

"Cialis is a miracle. Because of a new partner in my life, I was having performance anxiety, contributing to erections that were weak at best. Dr. gave me a prescription for 6, 20mg tablets per month, because that's all the insurance would pay for. Was told that I could split these in half, but I split into fourths, making each about 5mg. I generally take 5mg early Friday, which has a noticeable effect, then another 5mg as a 'booster' when I think there might be intercourse soon. Amazing results that last for a couple of days for this 55-year-old, and haven't noticed any negative side effects."

"Cialis has done the unthinkable for me. I'm an 18-year-old who has suffered from BPH for about a year and ED ever since I began becoming sexually active (also about a year). My ED led me to depression upon the realization that no matter how much I wanted to, I couldn't be like most guys around me. I couldn't enjoy one of life's most basic pleasures. I couldn't establish that intimate connection with whoever I loved and couldn't satisfy her needs. I felt as if my masculinity was being assaulted every day as time passed by. This is my first day on this medication (5mg daily), and it's given me the best/firmest erection I can ever remember having; my insecurities coming from ED have disappeared. 10/10 would recommend to any man with ED."

"Love it! Was prescribed 4x20mg to assist my member who had become noticeably disinterested in sex. Doctor suggested I initially take a half a tablet to monitor its effects. I've tried Levitra before but it caused serious facial flushing, stuffy nose, nausea and a feeling of unwellness for a couple of days. The first day on which I tried a half a 20mg Cialis tablet, very little happened. The most important thing to me was that it didn't make me feel unwell. The following morning, I woke with a rock-hard erection. I took the second half of the tablet later in the day and that night had a full hour of sex with my wife. In the end, she was begging me to ejaculate as she was getting sore. It was a case of zero to hero! :)))"

"Intermittent ED. I have used Viagra in the past, and although it worked okay, once I had climaxed, that was it, and the side effects were quite bad. Cialis: no real side effects, apart from a little backache at the start of taking. I agree to get some into your system first. Results: Wow, bigger, fuller, rock hard. And each time lasted ages before I ejaculated. Regain time was about 30 minutes, and to the same powerful erection size. A 20 mg tablet lasted 3 days, and to my partner's delight, ten fantastic long sessions. Also, I have noticed I am definitely bigger flaccid."

"I had an issue with ED and my doc gave me a sample of Cialis 5 mg. I took one tablet, not thinking anything would happen for 3-4 days. Wow! Was I wrong! I had the hardest erection for (I swear) one hour! I could have lasted longer. My wife couldn't keep her hands off it! I will be doing a once-daily dose. Looking forward to greater things to come!"

"I'm 45 and started noticing general loss of libido around age 40, and severe ED around age 43. Led a very wild drinking lifestyle since my 20s, but don't smoke, and my doctor felt that I did some major damage to my testicles and penis nerve endings from all the drinking. Just an FYI - I didn't know drinking could do that to you... Anyhow, he gave me a sample pack of 20mg tabs and I tried half of one the first time. Wow. All of a sudden everything worked great again - it was like a miracle and I'd be good to go until mid-Sunday."

"Had nerve-sparing prostatectomy (removal of prostate due to early signs of cancer) in May 01. It took 8 months before some ability to gain erection returned and another 5 months for better performance. However, a long period of no sex followed (partner's health failed and she passed away late '06). Now back into the real world with a number of new partners but found there's lots of truth in the old saying 'use it or lose it'. The first couple of sexual encounters were not good. Cialis is enabling stronger and longer erections, typically over 2 days before weakening. No apparent side effects unless some lower back muscle discomfort can be associated with Cialis. Don't know for sure. Otherwise, it's great - a stud again at 65."

"First time 5 mg and had great erections for 4 days. Very slight headache, but it went away. 2 weeks later I took 2.5 mg in the morning, and later in the evening, I took a hot bath. When I got out of the bath, my lower back hurt so bad I could hardly stand up. This is the 3rd day, and my low back is still ruined. I looked up the side effects, and low back pain was right up there. Damn, because this stuff works! But I can't afford to take a week off from work every time I want to make love."

"Age 38, overall excellent health: erectile dysfunction due to antidepressant (Zoloft 100mg/day). Was taking 1/2 of a 100mg tablet of Viagra. Seemed to start working 45 minutes to one hour after taking. Worked well, but 4 hours or so after taking it, it wore off. Yes, was trying more than 1 hearty attempt! This went on for almost a year. Doctor switched me over to Cialis 20mg tablet. Best to take on an empty stomach with a full glass of water. Full effect kicks in about 3 hours after taking. Awesome stuff. Cialis has become my 'weekend warrior' pill as it lasts almost the entire weekend."

"I'm 30 and from the UK. I'm pretty fit and healthy, but I have had episodes of anxiety-related erectile dysfunction for most of my adult life. I could get hard easily enough, but I would lose my erection either before sex or during. I've been seeing this new girl for a couple of months now - who I am really starting to fall for - and it had been getting worse, so I decided to take some action and went to see my GP. All the blood tests came back normal, so the doctor diagnosed anxiety as the cause. She prescribed me 10mg of Cialis. Last night was the first night I used it, and I am so happy I went and saw someone about it. My erection felt so much fuller and harder, and I had the confidence to know it wasn't going away anytime soon. Plus an added bonus was how it made me last longer too! I was side effect-free during the sex, however, I started to get a headache through the night and the following day. A small price to pay for a rejuvenated sex life. Fingers crossed things can continue in this direction."

"I'm 32 and went almost 1.5 years without sex. I had a lot of anxiety-related erection problems. And then I met this really nice girl who I started dating, and the first couple of times us having sex didn't work out that well, and I was worried about what she thought about this problem. I gathered the courage to go and ask for a Cialis prescription from a doctor. I took a 10mg pill and it worked like magic. I could go on having sex several times a day without any problems. The only downside is a small headache. For me, this is truly a wonder drug."

"I suffer from erectile dysfunction and take one 20mg pill approximately every week. The effects kick in after at least a couple of hours and can last 2 days or so. I can quickly rise to the occasion, feel thicker and much harder than usual, and last for a long time. The downsides are the high expense, mild headache, nasal congestion, and temporary loss of the sense of smell. All in all, Cialis has helped me, and as the pros outweigh the cons, I will continue with the 20mg tablets."

"I'm 38 and physically healthy, but unfortunately take antidepressants, which destroyed my sex drive (and kept me depressed, haha). But Cialis works great, as you don't need to time anything, just get aroused a little bit, and I'm ready to go. Erections aren't as solid as with Viagra, in my experience, but I also don't feel like I'm tripping on LSD either. Since starting, I've been getting some pretty massive headaches, and today, day 3, feeling more than normal joint pains. I took no more than 10 mg per the first 2 days, so I'm hoping I can get the 5 mg daily dose and see if that helps with the side effects. Great drug nonetheless."

"I'm a healthy 33-year-old male. I have been taking 200 mg of Zoloft for over 10 years for depression, and my sex drive and erections have been getting weaker and weaker. I decided to ask my doctor and was prescribed 5 mg of Cialis for daily use. I took the pill as soon as I got home. My girlfriend came over 2 hours later, and I had one of the best erections since I was a teenager! I couldn't believe it! The erection lasted long enough for her to 'finish,' and then I started going soft. I'm sure it will take a few days before it reaches maximum effectiveness. I am so surprised by the immediate results. I was really losing hope. I experienced minor muscle pain and a slight headache, but I hear these go away after continued use. I'm so happy!"

"I'm 40 and have been having issues recently with erectile dysfunction and maintaining an erection. My doctor prescribed Cialis and I feel 16 again. I have been taking for 3 weeks - half of a 5 mg tablet every other day with no side effects. Get an erection with no stimulation and it is rock hard like I'm a teenager. I also wake up to a long lost friend - morning wood. Don't wait any longer to ask your doctor - no reason to be embarrassed. I thought I was too young to be having issues. I wish I would have gone to the doctor earlier."
