Sildenafil (Viagra) is old and busted. Tadalafil (Cyalis) has a longer duration of action and less side effects (17 vs 4 hours half life) due to a lesser reduction of PDEs besides the targeted PDE5. Additionally, studies show that daily tadalafil is much better in managing or even “curing“ ED. Want a little extra boost? Consume 6g of L-Citrullin a day. One of the few proven, freely and cheaply available substances that improve erections. L-Citrulline gets converted to L-Arginin and is better that L-Arginin supplementation. If you want to increase the half life, consume pomegranate juice. Warning, L-Citrullin and PDE5 inhibitors potentiate each other. Need even more arguments? Daily PDE5 inhibitors are cardioprotective and cardioregenerative. Studies used 5mg Tadalafil daily, I am on 20 -why not? https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7261690/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7261690/

Yeah I'm not really sure why anyone uses Viagra when Cialis exists. As long as you don't have heart or blood pressure problems, it's perfectly fine for healthy people to take, and even if you don't have ED it elevates you to a sex god. Truly amazing stuff.

  I tried both and get headaches from both. So I'd prefer a 4h headache vs a 24 hour headache

    Fair enough. Do you have low blood pressure?

Im not entirely at that point in my life yet but here here - I'm going to be buy 10 litres of Pom juice and recording the data. Hopefully recording useful data.

  There is only weak evidence it increases sildenafil half life -I shouldn‘t have mentioned it.

Does anyone have experience supplementing L-Citrulline for sports performance? I tried beta-alinine and I couldn't do it; made me have this horrible uncomfortable pin pricking/itchy reaction for over an hour each dose.

  Are you asking about amateur or profesional sports? I competed in amateur mountain bike races for a number of years, but I never took any medication to improve performance and I see no point in doing that. As an amateur, going to competitions every couple of weeks and getting in the top quarter was the purpose, not winning it; it was a strong enough motivator to do sport - the atmosphere, the tracks and the views in the forests were a great reward. For profesional level, medics can tell what is allowed and what is not. I am not a doctor, but most performance-improving drugs are forbidden.

    Citrulline isn't on the WADA prohibited substances list.

    > I never took any medication to improve performance and I see no point in doing that. FYI: for a small percentage of participants, the only reason to compete is to win. Most of the stars you've heard of (Tiger Woods and Michael Jordan come to mind) simply wouldn't play if they couldn't win. Tiger actually said that in an interview, and Michael's coach said the need to win was the secret to his success. So the reasons behind PEDs are: 1) to maintain competitiveness with people on them 2) to ensure wins if that's the reason you're there.

    I climb but didn't climb for like 7 years in my 20s due to poor life choices. I think I used to be grouped in idk maybe 'pro-am' if that is a thing, e.g. top of top % but didn't get paid to do it. Especially back then even the very few full time 'pros' barely were able to eat. Would get killed if I tried to compete right now ;) I don't think USADA or WADA prohibits it or creatine etc. I've been back for a couple years now and have been interested in ways which help me train more effectively without injury, since I just can't do what I could when I was 20. sleep, water, and stretching make the biggest difference. I have not gotten into Testosterone or other anabolics which seem like the only legit way to feel 20 again lol

Do you happen to know any drug or supplement which helps Preventing an erection? (Serious question)

  Drugs that lower testosterone will typically accomplish that outcome. Men that go through prostate cancer treatment for example will often have erectile dysfunction (due to hormone therapy targeting testosterone - androgen deprivation therapy).

    Pretty much every drug that lowers your T or DHT to the point where you can‘t get an erection anymore can permanently ruin your (sex) life.

  SSRIs tend to reduce libido. That’s not exactly the same thing, but they are connected.

  There is a widely circulated rumor that in the Romanian army they used to put a small quantity of bromide (sodium or potassium? don't know) in the evening tea; it is not supposed to prevent an erection, but total lack of sexual desire. This was 30-40 years ago, I was not able to find any official documents related to that, but any men over 50 years old is telling that story.

    This legend circulated across the entire Eastern Bloc in general, and possibly beyond it. It's not based on anything.

    In Finnish army this was in the tasteless dessert pudding they served at every meal. The theory was frequently tested and proven to be true. You would get annoying and embarrassing morning wood if you skipped the dessert.

Careful with pomegranate juice if you take any prescription medications. It doesn’t get along with several, including some popular blood pressure medicines.

Absolutely! Cialis is my "go to" also - because it's half-life is about 24 hours so you can take it once a day and not "plan" what is often unplannable. Also agree with citrulline. Good choice plus it also helps with working out by increasing NO which increases blood flow to muscles as well as the penis. Being "always ready" actually makes no-fap and confidence with women easier thus you can be less ruled by your cock and more by your brain! Viagra was originally being researched as a blood pressure medicine because of the NO effects but it was accidentally discovered to help with ED during clinical trials!
