It also helps a healthy prostrate. I can obtain with either vaigra or cialis an erection It is seldom or predictably strong enough. I have started a regiment of masturbation with the use of vibration. I have a amazing woman who has given me the motivation and suggestions It is difficult. We will see each other again on 2/14. I have many woman who are attractive and interested but it is only this woman who I wish. I do sometimes get a erection without medicine.ie in morning. It is my plan to take for 5 days prior to our liaison 20 mg Cialis in hope for best chance. Would it be better to alternate. Would it be wise to alternate with Viagra?

Brief Answer:
Alternate Viagra and cialis is not advisable

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using healthcaremagic.

I read your query and understand your concerns.

The half life of Cialis is generally 24-36 hours and it remains effective around 24 hours after taking it.
There is no point in taking it before four days of your expected sexual encounter. Rather than using for three days before I will recommend to use 10 mg on the day of sexual encounter as it will be available in system at the time of requirement.
So in my view taking it on alternate day is not superior to taking it on the need basis.

Similarly alternating it with Vigra is not suggestible. There is no advantage between taking Cialis on as need basis over alternating it with Viagra.

Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
If not, you may close the discussion and if possible you may rate the answer for me, so that I get a good feedback.

Why ten is a 5mg continues regiment been advised if it does not alter the system I also wanted to know if masturbation for several days will increase the potential chance of success. You have stated with the exception of a physical ailment it should be performance anxiety. If achieving an erection at the time of sex is not strong enough or able to be maintained for an organism with the use of medicine then what. A vibrator was purchased for me by my partner Will its use allow me to overcome anxiety. It has been 5 years since I had a active sex life. Couples counseling is not an alternative

Brief Answer:
As described below

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for reverting back to me.

My recommendation to increase Cialis 10 mg was based on the following statement of you which stated "I can obtain with either vaigra or cialis an erection It is seldom or predictably strong enough." Which in other sense you are getting results with both these molecules but they are not sufficient.

In of my previous query I already mentioned that prior masturbation helps in Premature ejaculation but offer no help in Erectile dysfunction. On similar lines it does affect your sexual success chance negatively by entering in resolution phase (after every sexual act man takes variable time to achieve another erection). So prior masturbation is not advisable especially on the day of sexual encounter.

Vibrator may help you as it distracts from the fear leading to reduction in performance anxiety.

I hope this helps you.
Thanks and regards

I understand but it was a 20mg used for erection. It did not worked as needed. I did have one episode of stiff erection and powerful ejaculation as result of use and masturbation. I understand all your comments but not the question of the daily use of 5mg as to be delivered.

Does a continued use have some type of build up. If the 20 mg the better course of action. What is my best course of action

Answered by Dr. Dr. Ashok Kumar Choudhary (36 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
Actually dose is decided after trial and error

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome back to me.

Probably there is some misunderstanding with my comments.

I mean to say that if 5 mg is not working (as per your statement) than it is advisable to use higher dose as long as it is not causing any side effects. The effective dose range of Cialis is from 2.5 mg to 20 mg per day.

There is no build up theory in Cialis working. It to be taken as needed basis. If somebody have chance of sexual encounter daily he supposed to take it daily. If some body have monthly chance he supposed to take on monthly basis.

There is no use of taking it on intervening days.

On similar lines I do not mean 20 mg is better for a person who is responding to 5 mg. But it is definitely better for a person who is not responding. Ultimately dose is decided by trial and error. If one dose is not working than manipulation of drug dosage is required.

I hope this clears the situation.
Thanks and regards

I just took a Viagra and had strong erection within 45 minutes. I used vibration and porn and had the most massive ejaculation of my life. Very strong and complete. My question is at my age given this as a working system ,how long before the body will rejuvenate itself I have a arranged liaison and wish to be prepared. What if anything can be done to be at my best. It is important to me

Answered by Dr. Dr. Ashok Kumar Choudhary (52 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
It can be anywhere between 15 minutes and hours

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for writing back to me.

I like to inform you that there is no normal time for any age. It can be seconds to minutes for a young person. Similarly at higher age it an be from minutes to hours. Everybody responds in unique way and they have their own resolution time (able to achieve another erection). In this regard only one thing is clear that older persons have longer resolution time in compare to younger age.

To know your own rejuvenating time it will be appropriate to recall five year back history when you were sexually active. Whatever the time applicable that moment of time will be applicable now for you with slight or no increase.

Other than that use of Vigra or Cialis shortens this time significantly. Since you are taking Viagra at this moment you may not get that long time to have another erection.

I do not think you need to do anything special for it. Go with flow and enjoy your moments.

Thanks and regards

Then the use of a daily dose between now and Saturday my next encounter does not help its success I am sorry to ask again but misunderstood my GP explanation I also asked if anything else will help success I inderstand exercise and almond and VigREX tHANK YOU

Answered by Dr. Dr. Ashok Kumar Choudhary (2 hours later)

Brief Answer:
Yes, it is right understanding

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome back to Healthcaremagic.

You are right in saying that dosage of Vigra between today and your expected sexual encounter unlikely to help you. For Viagra the half life is just four hours and it remains effective just for four to six hours. What you take on Friday or Thursday unlikely to remain active by Saturday. So your chance of success is solely dependent on the Viagra taken on the day of sexual encounter.

To make it successful in addition to Viagra and almond you can use Garlic and chocolates. Both of these are potential natural remedies for erectile dysfunction.

I hope this helps you.
If you have any more questions feel free to write back to me.
If not, you can close the query and rate the answer.

Only one question I have receieved 5mg cialias. My reaction was to vigra 100 mg which proved successful. In4 days I will attempt a liason. System should be ready. If I take the 5mg cialias until 4 day and then take Viagra do the drugs work in opposition to each other. Would I get better results not using 5mg until day of sex where I intend to use viagra

Answered by Dr. Dr. Ashok Kumar Choudhary (5 hours later)

Brief Answer:
No effect

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for reverting back to me.

I understand that you are really concerned with outcome of liason.

No, Viagra and Cialis do not oppose each other. They act on similar lines and may help help each other or may not help one. But they do not interfere with functioning of other one.

I think the chance of success is similar if you prepare yourself or not. You can take Cialis for four days or may not take, the ultimate success will be decided by medication which will be in the system at the time of act.

Hope this clears.
Thanks and regards
