How To Improve My Intercourse Duration?
Question: I wanted to improve my intercourse duration. Sometimes I am unable to get the proper erection and even if I get it, I can hold it maximum to 5-7 minutes. This leads to unsatisfactory for my partner. Please assist and guide.
Brief Answer:
You can start phosphodiesterase inhibitors.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
But, nothing to worry, your erection and sexual duration can be improved by phosphodiesterase inhibitors like tadalafil.
But, please check your early morning erections before going for medications... Which is known as nocturnal penile tumescence that is NPT?
If this is normal, it could be psychological stress that is influencing your sexual performance.
Anyway, you can consult your doctor regarding this medication and you need a healthy lifestyle for better sexual performance.
Thank you.

I have already mentioned your medication in my query. The problem with it is, I get very hot head during the intercourse, sometimes my eyes also get reddish. Is it normal to continue with tadalafil? Yes, also I have watched my morning erection and its good at sometimes. Not sure what to do now, whether to work on stress or to continue with this phosphodiesterase inhibitors. Waiting for your reply.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Brief Answer:
My suggestion.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome back,
I understand that you have already tried tadalafil 20 mg, but you are facing headache because of that.
So, I would like to advise you to decrease the dose of tadalafil to 5 mg and slowly you can increase, then you may not have those adverse effects.
In addition to this, you can start l- arginine sachets for better erection and performance.
Definitely, you have to concentrate on even stress, by taking some antianxiety medications like clonazepam to improve your sexual duration.
Hope this information would help you.
Thank you.
