Does Cialis help you guys to maintain an erection?

Pretty straightforward question. I struggle a lot with zero libido, but can still get an erection with a girl or watching porn, as long as there is some manual stimulation. My issue in the bedroom is one in maintaining my erection once I get it. I find often I end up with a semi and it is pretty embarrassing. Two times now I've hooked up with chicks and they've completely lost interest after, probably because of the mediocre sex.

Do you think Cialis will help at all with this? Anyone have similar experiences?

Yes but microdose and not everyday
Maybe helps in crash mode not sure.
I think I had 30 and used 4-5 maybe 7
Maybe lost some. Forgot someone's place or while packing. But I took 1.25 -2.5 mg
And sometimes just to see I took 5 mg. Once I took 7.5 mg does not work like it did the few times I used several or 5 yrs ago.

Rite now tempting to use it however on Tei -- hence I will not.

I mean it could help prevent shrinkage and some need more than others but nofap and waiting helps too. Not like Cialis alone would stop a crash with 30-35 symptoms or more.... Like depression , vanity, mental, vision, sexual, bodyfat/musculature composition, etc effects. If anything mentally it helps BC you know *just in case* you have it.
-Same thing I did when POIS was behind me or nearly. I think it was gone at that point, but I was still fighting rare alcohol addiction and less rare PMO... stupid addictive nature/ dopamine spiking behavior...
-That was 24 or 25... and I guess I was too scared to see docs 22 23 24 mostly, went for school... got some guidance, then proper help, then fine tuned help (for Neuropsyche stuff), so at that point I had a trusted (mostly) fam doc, counsellor, and psychiatrist... and whatever else for short term use, specialists, mostly.
-Also a bit more recently and before Fin was used/ I took some recreationally. I did get it prescribed I think in March this year.

- @djohn051 it's Trace Elements Inc. That and ARL (Advanced Research Laboratories) are 2 of the more prominent HTMA companies/providers (Hair Test Mineral Analysis).
-I used Catherine's Services here in CDA and also the link Goose12 mentioned, the Betterhealthnow . com I think. BTW 16 days UPS at a high cost (the normal way/ thru TEI), vs 9 days air mail (the link), but I am in western Canada and both send from same place, Texas. --> In east coast different story, and I restocked things that I am fairly certain I'll need. I'm just saying if you order 3-4 weeks at a time, airmail from Goose's link can be very fast.
-I have tons of fam in medicine, I was in science... studies at least not really work... so I was skeptical (quackwatch -- but that's a stupid site).
-AB healthcare does HTMA also by the way but for different purposes (random severe metal poisoning or similar I guess -- maybe work hazards, and foreign health disorders).

Thanks for the reply. You are right that it won't help with everything. I'm fortunate that the sexual sides seem to be all that is left for me. Unfortunately though, they are some of the shittiest, also seeming to be the most persistent among folks I've spoken to.

What is TEI? I see this everywhere on here but haven't come across the actual abbreviation name.

Never helped me... I used 5mf dosage, but the libido was so shit that even with cialis I could not have an erection, only felt pressure down there and irrigation....
My sexual side improved outta nowhere at least I can masturbate and cum easily.. but if you can have erection maybe it can help maintain yeah. But I think you need prescription tho

I have had a great experience ordering my supps from Wellnessshoppingonline.com. They are out of Washington. Always 2nd day air the supps, and the customer service has been fantastic.

If you are going to use it, microdose it like @MNK99 said.
But beware, i got some pois symptoms after using it for a long period of time.

TEI stands for Trace Elements Inc.
Trace Elements... Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (Hair Mineral Analysis)
They analyze your hair and give you supplement and diet recs.
It's told that it makes your dick bigger and healthier.

Interesting. I'm an epidemiologist and much of what I've read about these types of tests has shown them to be wildly inaccurate.

Has anyone on here gotten multiple tests done in short windows to actually assess the test-retest reliability of them?

If you cant maintain, thats probably mean that you are nervous. So its standard situation, you have probably elevated cortisol acth histamine insulin. Instead of buying cialis invest you money and check those hormones. Probably you also have to high argininase, which waste your manganese, beacuse is manganese based enzyme. Argininase metabolizes your arginine to Urea, and instead of producing NO from arginine you pee it. So cialis -pde5 inhibitor do not have even enough nitric oxide to work with. Thats why its not work in your case. You may try to take some herbal pills for stress like Hops, lemon balm,leonurus, valerian, and then try cialis. But it's just short term solution.
Maybe if you have to high consumption of manganese by argininase, try as well manganese. Hope this opens some options for you.

Where did you read that hair tests are innacurate ?

and I would try b1, b2 vitamins.

Google "pubmed hair mineral test validity". There's a lot of research into the area and a lot of variation. Unfortunately, it's become a bit of a hotbed for charlatans. Now, that is not to say that mineral balancing isn't important. I have managed to restore nocturnal erections with magnesium and potassium megadoses.

Libido is my major grievance though. Secondary to that is my worsening mental health. I can't build any sexual tension, so dating is so damn difficult. Years of this pain are really starting to wear me down and have me looking to the exit door.

Check my tests thread, I got hairtests from multiple providers around the same time. Some agreements and disagreements.

Cialis, or probably more consistently Viagra, will help solve mental and sexual effects taken in low doses over a period of time.

Agree. I’d say it makes dating pretty much impossible and it’s like being half alive most the time. I’d say don’t take the exit door but there are times where it seems like the best option.i haven’t because it’s be very hurtful to those who care about me and also with how quickly things are moving technology wise etc you never know what types of cures could suddenly become available . I feel like I have permanent nerve damage in my prostate/penis, basically no feeling. It’s horrifying.

On what basis can you say that?

It works in the opposite direction of what finasteride is known to do. Negates estrogen, increases AR, attenuates neuroinflammation, remylienates the CNS, sustains NO pathways, improves endothelial function, lowers the stress response, still looking into it's effect on progesterone, I'm assuming lowers it as well, or more accurately channels it to the 5-AR pathway.

what are you talking about? I have 2 people who got PFS from cialis usage and viagra usage. same from minox after they quit these. Of course on them you feel better for a while. there are many cases of PFS

Half of propeciaforum have been taking low dose cialis for years. It fixed no one and fixed no sides

I have given up dating for a while. Pretty much going my own way since 4 months or so.

For me I also kept dating in PFS and fucked two girls (premature ejaculation with first, used viagra - ED with second one) and overall it was a bad experience. This is when I decided to focus on healing instead of indulging in bullshit (casual dating = bullshit/mutual masturbation) that just made me feel worse. I also took anabolics for this reason. STUPID!

Gotta learn to be a monk for a while. Eventually you will get better. It is not hard to do. I am very happy right now even without girls. It has calmed my mind down. I am going full Musashi. You don't need girls to be happy always remember that. Sex is perversion now. Casual sex is not natural (birth control etc.). See it for what it is. It is mutual masturbation. It is fun yea it makes you feel good. But life is not always feel good happy joy joy. Sometimes things get rough.

Now you are taking things like Cialis and other shit to keep going. Which might end up making you worse if abused. You need to come to acceptance you need to heal. Otherwise you will go through these mood swings because you are still trying to live life how you used to. But you are unable to. Accept this and then build it up from the ground.

Choose a plan and stick with it. If it does not work toss it away and try the next one.

Good luck dude.
