Cialis question about improving EQ

Consider this old post….

https://thunders.place/penis-pumps/vacuum-pumping-when-you-have-ed-the-short-version-according-to-avocet8.html

and this chunk within it…

………………..

“One of the reasons that your sexual response was good for so long is that you had a healthy pattern of nocturnal erections, whether you were aware of them occurring or not. Normal men without ED have 4 - 6 erections a night during the REM stage of sleep, each lasting about a half hour. That accumulates to 2 - 3 hrs a night of hard-ons. That’s a lot of erection time. The purpose of having nocturnal erections is purely a “housekeeping” function. Blood pours in, cleans out the gunk and accumulated flotsam in your arteries and veins that occurs while you are flaccid. This newly-oxygenated blood also feeds penile tissue. When nocturnal erections stop, so does the “housekeeping” and the intense oxygenation you used to get during the night. “

…………………..

To me, this seems like it can boiled down to… “the more erections you have…. the more erections you’ll have”

It’s a “use it or lose it” scenario and the more you use it, the more it’ll work even better.

Cialis (generic Tadalfinil) allows you have a lot more erections. That’s a lot more “housekeeping” going on via these added erections.

By taking low-dose (about 5mg) Cialis/Tadalfinil every day or every other day… am I indirectly improving my EQ by having all those extra erections? All that extra “housekeeping”?

Good question, I have a 10mg prescription that I take Friday at noon (weekend pill), would curious be about adding halves throughout the week.

I take 20mg pills for fun maybe once a week. I get hard a LOT during that almost 48 hours it works on me. I have serious wood all night long on my first night (I take it like noon, and it lasts until the morning two days later) and second night of it in my system. It wakes me up sometimes its intense! The thing about this medicine is it seems to make me more hard and more solid when I’m not on it. Like the pipes have indeed been refitted or since I’m so full to the max on cialis it like makes me more susceptible to getting really great EQ and a much fuller harder erection in my off days.

First off the PE exercises do all that good blood flow stuff for you with no drugs involved. Now taking cialis unless you have a prostate condition will run the risk of you needing it; very easy to become dependent on it.

Taking Cialis or any other medication unless seriously needed will most likely cause harm in the medium long run more than anything, stay out of it.

Cialis vs. Viagra.?

Do you guys find that Viagra dampens the sensitivity in your cock?

in my case if it reduces the sensitivity

>Taking Cialis or any other medication unless seriously needed will most likely cause harm in the medium long run more than anything, stay out of it.

I’ve read up on the side effects of Cialis, and if you’re in good physical shape (which I am) the side effects are very minimal. This webpage lists 2 studies that show no major side effects for healthy men over a 2 year period. Problem is… there are no longer term studies.

However, we do have studies on things like Flowmax which many men have taken for years, and those seem to be fairly minimal side effects for healthy men.

Getting back to this topic… has anyone else experienced anything like this?

Or is anyone (like me) using low dose Cialis as part of your regimen which is mainly about using a pump?

I read on reddit, also on Kyrpa’s thread, that there are people using Viagra since it first appeared, no problems to report so far. Kyrpa answered one of my questions about sildenafil, he said he’s been taking it on and off since 2000, I don’t remember him mentioning anything to be concerned about.

I can’t find the links right now, but you can find several threads started on this topic with google. “I have been taking viagra for 7+ years, AMA”, this was a title on Reddit.

I also take generic tadalafil and generic sildenafil quite often when doing serious PE, there are quite a few members who took it, including the bigger names on the forums even(stillwantmore was clamping and taking sildenafil, kingsnake, dld, yoyototo, many others of course, but I only remember these guys posting on their threads about using stuff like viagra/cialis). It seriously helps PE results, both tadalafil and sildenafil do, if used correctly of course, at least in my experience.

I personally consider them beneficial, no studies I can find to say otherwise, neither any studies to confirm my feeling about it. All I could find was some stuff about sildenafil increasing testosterone in the long run(actual study iirc), and nothing bad came from it for all I can tell.

If it will cause any harm in the medium/long run, I guess I’ll find out. The benefits from it are great imo, especially since I wasn’t too good with edging/sex/having a relationship, stuff like that. I can honestly say these pills made me a better person, along with all the other PE efforts I constantly put in of course, the pills wouldn’t have worked by themselves at all.

Going further, I had major ED issues this spring, but it was all porn induced. I know for a fact it was because when I quit porn I was able to get massive wood for my wife within about 2 weeks and I’ve never looked back. The fear that maybe I won’t get hard again wasn’t even present anymore; nothing like that bubbled up. I thought, though, about seeing my GP for a couple viagra or cialis or something just to get over the hurdle of my brain beating me up, but I never had the chance because I identified porn as the problem, and it was, of course.

So I got generic sildenafil a few months after I beat my ED problems. And I got it purely for rec purposes and mainly to create a mold of my cock (still haven’t been able to do it, but will soon!!). The only issue with taking the 10mg or 20mg tablets of cialis/sildenafil is if you take it too often, like 2 or 3 times a week. Then its excessive and likely can cause problems, of which I know of none listed in any study online (although I’m thinking its bad for your heart and since it has interaction problems with things overweight and unhealthy men experience, then it creates unsafe conditions). If there is the need to take 10mg or 20mg more than once a week (which is the recommended use for that size dose), then doctors suggest the 2.5mg or 5mg daily cialis/sildenafil pills. Seems like people with major ED issues, and especially poor health, might be inclined to take the 10mg/20mg pills more than once a week, which is not good or recommended and they should instead take the lower daily dose since that’s the kind of use they want out of it.

I take a 20mg thursday morning before my wife leaves for the day and night and do PE and pumping later in the day. I also cum my fucking brains out on Thursdays when she’s gone just because I can, and like last Thursday when I took a 20mg at 10am and between noon and 6pm I came 4 times, then had a massive prostate session and came at the end of that around 10pm, and then went for a last jerk off before bed, where my wood lasted for 45 minutes, between 1-2am, the once a week generic sildenafil is worth it to me!! But I never fear that I won’t get hard for her, or alone by myself, when I don’t take it. I’m in perfect health except maybe I’m like 5-7lbs overweight right now, nothing 2 weeks of working out and not eating pizza or something like that won’t fix. I’m 45 now too and my cock is doing so good this year I can’t help but use it as much as I can. My wife is NOT complaining about anything ;)

In the end though, I do believe that something about sildenafil and its ability to force erections into 100% (or, 110% it seems!?) EQ levels makes your penis in its natural, unaided state, get very hard and near or at 100% EQ levels. The first boners I had days after taking my first sildenafil ever were so big and hard I actually was beside myself holding it as I was about to put it into my wife, kind of like “wow I look and feel a bit bigger and harder than normal” and my normal EQ has always been very good. Now, though, its like augmented and just all around “better.” There is something to this, I know it personally now.

You can definitely become dependent on cialis since it has a half life of 72hrs. I got 2 bottles of 30 at 5mg each that I split and took over a course of 5months every other day. When I ran out my EQ was terrible. It was some of the weakest erections I’ve had in my life.. I’m talking thin and short lol. It took a month or more before my EQ was up to par or 90%.

Viagra on the other hand has a short half life of 4-6hrs and taken 2 or 3 times a week shouldn’t be a problem.

Be careful with cialis.. It can mess with your confidence.

I took 25-50mg sildenafil daily for 5-6 days in a row, no side effects to report, cialis as well, 10-20mg for 5-6 days in a row, no side effects to report.

I once took 200mg of sildenafil, the side effects where feelable that time, I only took it because I already had a previous ED episode with this girl, now it’s gone thankfully.

I only need 10mg of tadalafil/25mg of sildenafil for them to work well, but I guess I have serious ED issues. I mean, sheeeeesh, I’m 29, pumpedmember is 45, I haven’t seen morning/night wood in AGES, probably since puberty, I only wake up with A LITTLE hard-on when I constantly and succesfully do PE, girth and endurance work to be precise.

I mean, listen, I want to make myself clear with this: I’m 29y.o. and pumpedmember’s (who is 45y.o.) last post regarding his use of these ED drugs and his erections and sex life(brief introduction) make me feel insecure af.

Porn doesn’t seem to be the problem. Actually, I get rock hard and hornier than ever in periods when I do actually watch porn and masturbate watching it. I then can edge for longer periods of time without watching porn at all, but without that first glimpse, I probably wouldn’t feel so horny.

I was also in jail for 6 years in 2 consecutive sentences, I only spent 3 months outside in-between them. There was no porn there, rarely would I put my hands on a porn page from a magazine or something similar, but that was very rare. I wasn’t seeing morning wood even then, with no porn whatsoever. As soon as I got out though, started watching porn, my hard-ons were coming out of nowhere, even when walking on the street, I would feel horny from the previous porn watching and I could imagine myself performing porn things with girls on the street.

I like the feedback on this thread, maybe you guys can make me understand EQ better, because I really seem to have a hard time improving it…

Fwiw, I consider myself very active as a human-being, I constantly work out, running/bodyweight training/HIIT types of training/I can do lots of squats and push-ups in a row, I do breathing exercises every now and then, cold showers even when it’s cold outside, I go out in cold temperatures with little clothing to work-out, etc.

I also take, on and off: citruline malate, beta alanine, creatine, glutamine, yohimbine, erection tea(kingpole’s recipe with ginger, lemon and black tea), I drink at least 2-3litres of water everyday, 4-6litres on ocassion, smoke weed and ocasionally drink alcohol, less than anyone I know personally.

I also eat lots of eggs, milk, raw milk, spicy peppers, I put salt in my drinking water ocasionally before going for a longer run, lots of bananas, apples, other fruits and vegetables, carrots, grapefruit(pomelo), lots of fat too(fat from animals and lots of butter), honey, garlic, lemons, etc.

What am I doing wrong, or what else am I missing?

Doesn’t this mean that in the long-run this ED drug isn’t working for ED?

Awwwww man I’m sorry I don’t want you or anyone to feel insecure given me and my story! I have intense morning wood, it wakes me up in the middle of the night sometimes, but I’ve always had it no matter my age or lifestyle that year (although when I was heavy into porn and had ED issues, I had less morning wood than probably anytime in my whole life). You CAN get hard though, that doesn’t sound like you have a problem there. It just sounds like what you are doing and watching when you get hard is part of the problem, but again, just maybe.

Porn might be the problem. If you can’t really get hard, don’t stay that hard for that long, and don’t feel horny enough to get hard unless you have seen or are watching porn, then porn helps you get hard and without it you have a hard time getting hard. Is that how you feel? That’s how I was earlier this year. I couldn’t stay hard for 3 seconds unless I had a screen on. I would stand at the TV in the bedroom, watch porn, get hard and I mean extremely hard, and then walk literally 7 steps into the bathroom to my pump at the sink and be jerking it all the way there and by the time I grabbed the pump, in about 5 seconds of time, I was maybe 50% hard, sometimes less. I would be rock hard watching porn, leave the room to cum somewhere else, and be holding a wet noodle. I’d go back to the screen and in seconds BAM totally hard again. There it was, the problem identified: porn! Since I’ve been off porn, my boner doesn’t go down even when I stop touching it, sometimes it stays rock solid a full 20 or 40 seconds when its completely ignored, and most of my adult life I haven’t been like that. I actually work out less now than I have in years, maybe 20 years, and my diet is not as good as I want it to be. My sleep isn’t even as good anymore. But I’m harder now and feel better about my cock and erections than I maybe ever have in at least 10 years.

I am sure that being in jail did not help with getting morning wood, or being in the mood for anything sexual. I’m sure the setting, your diet there, your exposure to sunlight or the outside world, all kinds of factors played a negative role in your normal bodily cycles (but I may be completely and totally wrong on this I don’t know your jail setting and am just thinking out loud here). I too was right there, about to see my doc for a script of erection aid, but I found the cause of my ED and it ended without meds. It sounds to me like you are fine physically and you get hard, just under certain conditions. It will take an unknown amount of time, but if you don’t watch porn when you are making yourself get hard, and keep trying to do it, you may find that you will have better EQ. It could be worth trying, especially under conditions you can control and the feeling of freedom (at least the feeling of not being in jail). I will say this: the first time I masturbated without porn or anything on, I was scared man. Really, really scared. I felt like “what if I can’t get hard on my own right now? What if I can’t get hard on my own, ever again, and need porn to get hard for the rest of my life?!?!?” I thought this while touching myself, yet, I got a wave of self determination, positive feeling, good energy and hope: “I can get hard, I used to do this all the time without porn, what the hell!? Let’s go!” And I got hard and was stroking it and then I lost sense of time. We’re ALWAYS aware of time when watching porn: how long is this scene, when is the cumshot, how long is the next scene I want to watch, how long will I last and can I make it to the next scene??? All alone in a quiet room, I felt like I was touching my hard on for like maybe 5 minutes. I looked at the time. Just 1 minute had passed. OMG. Then I feared I’d lose wood before I could cum. Man what a nightmare this all is to recount!!! I fucked a fleshlight right away and pumped out a good feeling orgasm. I jerked off for just 3 minutes. Normally with porn I was jerking off my boner for no less than 30 minutes and usually 45-60 minutes nonstop. It literally took me 2 months to work up to pleasuring myself without porn on for 10 minutes. Now I can masturbate for about 20 minutes if I really want to go at it, but I’m not sitting and not watching anything, its just all attention on me, my cock, my body, and the feelings.
Porno makes it all so easy. So so easy. And with that ease comes the need to rely on it. And in that reliance dwells the triggers for ED. That’s how it worked for me. Can’t lie about it. It was as plain as that; it is as plain and easy as that.

Sometimes health creates the need for ED medicines. But when brain makes ED, we need to help our brain. Since you have had issues for a while now, have you considered getting your testosterone checked? Who knows what your levels are, maybe something is going on that can provide you peace of mind. Or you start whittling down the perceived possible causes of your issues and if it still stays the same after you’ve addressed each issue look at what remains and think about fixing things you hadn’t thought of before. Dude I certainly miss porn, all the extremely hot women, the hips, the hair, beautiful eyes, squirting pussies, huge clits, I’ll never ever not think that stuff is hot and attractive to me. But I can’t look at it anymore. Sex with my wife is as important to her as it is to me now in our stage in our lives and I’d do anything to keep going for her and my needs wants and wishes.

Stay on here and look at the other threads on ED and porn and related topics, you’ll find a lot of info and personal stories that might help you figure this all out! Again, I hope I don’t make you feel insecure, I’m sorry if I am.
