Erectile Dysfunction :: Cialis With L Arginine - Safe?
Apr 28, 2014
Is it safe to take Cialis 10mg if you are taking Arginmax from GNC (L Arginine) since L arginine is not a nitrate. I only take the Cialis if really needed.

Erectile Dysfunction :: Pycnogenol And L-arginine - How Long?
I've been doing lots of research and I've found out multiple studies that suggest that this is a powerful combo for ed.
I found a study where patients took 100 mg of Pycnogenol and 1.7g of Arginine a day for 3 months and the results were of 92% success.
My question would be; taking this combo everyday, how do I know when to stop?
This study was based on 3 months, but is this something that I'll always have to take..?
Erectile Dysfunction :: Arginine, Phenylalanine, Macca Supplements
After reading online about natural ED remedies and dopamine, nitric oxide and testosterone boosters, I bought: L-Arginine, DL-Phenylalanine, Macca and L-Carnitine by "Nature Essential" (spanish brand). I do not plan to rely on these supplements alone, I would surely take viagra or cialis in case of sex. I bought them to improve my erection quality, the sensation, libido and my energy.
I began taking the supplements yesterday and it is way too early to expect improvements. But the problem is that I feel some worsening!
I usually have morning erections, but not today. I tried to touch myself to see how it feels and there was a lack of sensation and I couldn't reach erection or orgasm.
Since I took 4 different supplements, can there be a "conflict" between them?
Or maybe the "culprit" for this lack of erection and sensation is just one of the supplements? Now I'm trying to isolate the culprit.
I'm not an expert, but since DL-Phenylalanine is (among other things) advertised for pain relief, maybe that's the problem?
Also, these supplements are advertised as giving more energy, motivation and as sort of anti-depressants, but I don't feel an improved mood. I feel kinda "numb". Like, not much interested in anything, just neutral. I can just sit all day not doing anything.
I'm thinking about putting aside phenylalanine and see what happens, but this is all experimenting, I feel like a guinea pig. I need a more informed opinion. Maybe the "culprit" is another supplement.
Note: I took DL-Phenylalanine on empty stomach (as it was specified on the box) before breakfast. The rest of the pills I took after eating. Not all pills at one swallow, but one by one. I take DL-Phenylalanine and L-Arginine once per day and Macca and L-Carnitine 3 per day, one with each meal.
I also want to buy Pycnogenol, but I cannot find it in the pharmacies near me. At least not in it's clean form, but only as a part of a multi-antioxidant. I don't know how much % of pycnogenol that product contains and is it worth it. The producer is AquaSource (UK, I think).
Background: I suffer from ED for years, so it's not because of my age (late 30s). I had problems even in my late teens and 20s when i had my first sex experiences.
I talked to some friends (doctors), I explained them that I have morning erections and I can make myself excited, so they thought that this is psychological (I always have some stress in life). But I have never checked myself properly is the cause for my ED physical or psychological. Or maybe a bit of both. I have morning erections (but not regularly) and I can achieve an erection when masturbating. The problem is how to keep it.
At some point in life I discovered viagra and it helped me (50 mg). Once I tried 100 mg, but I felt a bit bad, dizzy etc.. Anyway, it helped me. Later I discovered cialis (the max. dose of 20mg), which worked well with no problems. I prefer cialis, cause it has long effect, so if I'm on a date with a girl, I'm not in a hurry to get her to bed while the pill is working, as it is with viagra. I have never tried levitra.
But recently, I had sex on cialis with two different woman (not at the same time) and in both cases I couldn't feel sensation. Note that this was before I began taking any supplements. I bought the supplements to solve this problem.
It felt like their vaginas were "loose", "wide" and very lubricated, so I couldn't feel anything (except at the beginning). Due to the lack of sensation, I would become soft and I would slip out of them. Even a blowjob without a condom didn't make me very excited. In both cases cialis couldn't help. I have a problem maintaining an erection without constant stimulation. And it seems that I lost sensitivity.
Note that I had a good and constant sexual life only when I was in a long relationship, but after we broke up, I got sex only occasionally (like one-night stands here and there). Some people say that you can develop a "resistance" to viagra or cialis. I don't think that my body developed such a "resistance", cause I wasn't talking these medications so often. There were no opportunities for sex so often.
I've read about porn induced ed (PIED), so I stopped watching porn half a year ago. And even mild erotica, women in bikinis and such things. I don't know if the PIED theory is proven, but better safe than sorry. I guess that I have to rewire myself to get excited by real women, not by pixels. In the past, sometimes I had to watch porn when having sex to get truly excited, to get that "dopamine rush" (as some websites are explaining it).
Now I do masturbate, but without porn, just fantasies about real women. When I see a hot woman on the street or in a shop, I'm trying to concentrate on her, but I can't get a spontaneous erection without touching myself. Of course, that would be inappropriate in public
I also can't get a spontaneous erection when just kissing with women like it once was. When we kiss or dance, they get close to me with their bodies to feel my erection, but nothing happens. It's so embarrassing. We must go to a private place first and then they must give me a b-job or a h-job, so I can become hard. Then, I must put on a condom very quickly and get inside them, cause I may loose the hardness.
I don't have a serious illness, I don't take any harsh medicines, I don't drink alcohol for a very long time (not even a beer), I do not take any drugs (even soft ones), but I just smoke normal cigarettes with coffee. I try to eat well, I avoid fast food and I always have soups, vegetable salads, fruits etc. Also I'm walking in nature on fresh air. Note that I'm not a vegetarian and I've read that phenylalanine should not be taken with proteins, I don't know if there's a link here.
During a certain period I tried to give up smoking, to work out (fitness), to improve my diet, avoid fried stuff etc. but it didn't have a significant impact on my sex life. Actually, in the past, when I would have a glass or two of red wine and some cigarettes, I felt more relaxed and sex seemed to be a bit better. There're people around me who go to clubs until early in the morning, they drink a lot, they take recreational drugs, they live unhealthy lives, but they have good sex. I don't get it.
I was also thinking about trying out that Muse / alprostadil urethral suppository, but can't find it in shops near me, i'm embarrassed to order it and finally, if sex happens, when will i have a time to put it into me (like saying to the partner: excuse me, i'm going to the bathroom and then putting it in and waiting for the effect). it's seems to me that it is impractical, I don't know.
Erectile Dysfunction, Finasteride, Lack Of Libido, Herbal Remedies, L-arginine
After medical review of this for the past 5 years.
---- To rule out cardiovascular disease, for ED is known to be a precursor.
---- Tests showing normal testosterone levels
After my husband's decline in interest intimately for three years preceding that five years.
After venomous denial regarding that the ED was the result of
---- Aging issues, medication (finasteride & HBP meds)
And much emotional hardship, as my husband wanted to truly believe his libido loss was due to one or all of the following:
---- Falling out of love
---- Being in a monogamous relationship
---- Something which his spouse did or didn't do, that he could not quite put his finger on.
Currently, spouse is considering going off finasteride (as a dr suggested) and trying natural remedies for enlarged prostate which includes:
---- Eventually stopping Finasteride (He has to be the one to stop)
---- Taking the following supplements:
Saw Palmetto Extract, Pygeum Extract, Nettles, Pumpkin Seed, Lycopene, zinc
I've just started him on zinc, Pumpkin seed & Lycopene, and will add the Saw Palmetto, Pygeum & Nettle combo soon.
I also plan to put him on L-Arginine which is suppose to assist with erections.
I have scanned the internet and do not see interaction of any of the above sups with that medication, and am tempted to put him on those for a month prior to him consenting to wean off of the Finasteride.
Does this seem a wise course of action, and have any of you gentlemen been on that medication while taking such herbal sups & vites?
Furthermore, have any of you run into other combinations that helped?
My spouse gives up easily, and I want this trial that he has consented to, to have the greatest chance of success possible.
What opened the door to this consenting to try was an 8 year support and sensual support without any demand or expectation from him. I didn't want to shut the door completely on intimacy, so despite insults and hostility, I stayed sensual, supportive and calm.... as I watched out for his physical and emotional health. I Provided massage, tantric touch which included prostate massage, encouragement and the occasional reminder that his erection could still work (when he let me to provide that). **** Ladies, if you can't get his ok, the massage will make him less guarded and then you may have access to provide that sexual release and confirmation he can still orgasm... Massage is great like that.
It's been a very long 8 years. Maybe other people have clearer vision at this point than myself, for I am in an emotional healing recover myself at this point as I continue to offer him support.
Erectile Dysfunction :: Cialis Works Well For Me
I am a 57 year old triathlete, having completed 2 Ironman competitions in the last 2 years. One would think the my fitness would help in the bedroom. Not! As I've aged I've noticed my erections getting weaker. Over the last 2 months they were none existent. I would orgasm when my wife would give me manual stimulation and the ejaculate would just ooze out of my flaccid penis. But no "rock hard" erection & certainly no ejaculation. I could not get hard enough to penetrate. Twelve years ago I had severe atrial fibrillation, which even caused 2 flat lining episodes is an ER. I had ablation surgery which corrected the problem. Yet, I feared taking erection causing stimulants because I didn't want to mess with heart rate. After 2 months of no stiffness to speak of, I took my doctor's advice and had filled the prescription for 5mg Cialis, daily dose. I took it yesterday, Christmas Eve, for the first time, about 3 hours before we opened our gifts. I'm not so sure how long one has to take this medicine to show an improvement, but last night, about 5 hours after taking my first pill, I got the best Christmas gift a man can get who's been suffering with ED. The Christmas package was delivered. We were both smiling. I'm sold on Cialis. My heart rate is fine and I have only a very, very slight stuffy nose. I can deal with that.

Can anyone recommend a place (online) where I can order Viagra, Levitra and Cialis that's reputable?
I got a prescription through my doctor but they will only fill 6 tabs for a 30 day period. I've purchased them at the pharmacy, but the cost is kind of high (almost $30 per tablet).
Viagra works pretty well, but I'd like to try the other two.

Recurrent Erectile Dysfunction :: Cialis 10 Mg (28 Years Old Male)
I’m a 28 year old male. I’m 5”11, 10st 4lb and have been a vegetarian for about 10 years.
I’ve had an on and off problem with erectile dysfunction in the past 7 years or so. Towards the end of a 5 year relationship when I was 21 and an undergraduate, I experienced problems with getting an erection and with a low libido (I can’t recall now whether the latter just came from anxiety about the former). The relationship ended, I began a relationship with a then friend, in addition to seeking advice from my GP. The GP prescribed a 4 cialis 10mg tablets, and things relatively quickly recovered.
Fast forward another 5 years (with no problems), and that relationship ended. After about 5 months, I went on some dates with a girl. As we started getting a bit more physical, I became a bit anxious about my ‘response’, and again had trouble getting an erection (again, I don’t know which came first). I got another short course of 10 mg cialis, though we never had intercourse and that ended. I was wary that the performance problems might impact upon future relationships, and wanting to not have to worry about it, I got a longer course (28 tablets) of 5mg cialis. I began a relationship with a new partner, which has now been going for about 7 months. I moved for work relatively early on in the relationship, so we mostly saw each other at weekends. A single 5 mg tablet would allow me to achieve erections without problem for 2 days.
Realising that it was probably not good to become reliant on these tablets, I started trying to wean myself of them by breaking tablets in half. One weekend recently, I took half a tablet on Saturday, and was fine for the day, but could not achieve an erection on Sunday morning when we became physical. I sometimes wake up with erections, and sometimes achieve one whilst masturbating, though both seem less frequent and less strong than they used to be.
I realise that at my age it is likely to be psychological, especially given the history. That’s in part why I used the medication for so long, hoping it would eventually just blow over again. I also realise that I have probably not handled it in the best way, though I still feel pretty helpless and frustrated at it all I guess.

View 2 RepliesErectile Dysfunction After Prostatectomy - No Effect Of Viagra, Cialis And Penis Pump
I am actually writing for my fiance (drew) we are storing here frustrated.. today is his bday and we can't even have intercourse after 15 months..
Anyways, we are curious, does this sound like a venous leak, or is this all still normal after 15 post op?
Viagra does not work, period.
Calais gives him about a 20% erection, but at 40.00 a pill, it's impossible to afford on our tight budget.
Using a pump combined with the tightest ring, only gives him about a 30-40% erection for about 5 minutes.
We did try trimex but the third time we used it we face him to much and he had to to to the e.r. and go thru the absolutely most horrible thing I've ever witnessed in my life. So to say the least we haven't tried it again and its been almost 9 months.
Morning erections are rare and only about 30-40%.
When. We use a penis pump, the base of his penis blows up like a doughnut. A good inch or inch n half is as wide as the pump. Once we slip the ring in, even if we pump his penis up almost as long as the tube, his erection always immediately drops. Without getting to graphic, his head does turn n keep blue, so we know he had decent blood flow.
Other then this he is a fairly healthy man, turned 55 today, he is about 40lbs overweight, but ask his blood work is normal, never high cholesterol, no diabetes, and his heart is fine. Ever since his prostate cancer we are insistent in getting all his blood work done every 90 days.
So i guess what we are asking, is does anyone know if this is still normal?
We know ed problems are can be an issue for a few yrs, but he had one of the best surgeons in the US and was done with a davinci robot and nerve sparing. When this is all brought up to any if his doctors, they just offer scripts for ed medications we can not simply afford.
Is this a leak or still ed problems?

Erectile Dysfunction :: Can't Get A Boner
Me and my gf are teens and we are both virgins and we tried to have sex and she was sucking my penis and stroking it and I was fingering her and eating her out and I didn't have a boner at the time and I could not get one. It made me so disappointed at myself because I can get one alone. I have a 6 inch penis and it was only about a 3 when we was in bed. She thought it was her fault and everything and it's not bc she turns me on like there no tomorrow. I've got a boner with her before but we wasn't going to have sex or anything. (That was when we started dating) we've been dating for 6 months and we desire to have sex and I can get a boner. I haven't even wanted to have sex since then but it's only been a few days.
