Viagra users - questions

Postby RJ_in_Pa » Wed Oct 29, 2025 9:11 pm

Guys,

Questions for those that used to use pills and those that still do.

I have recovered some of my ability to get an erection since my RP. I can get hard enough to get off while masturbating and sometimes, while using a ring, I can actually have sex with my wife. It is very inconsistent, though. I’m wondering if Viagra can give me that little extra help I need to make things happen more consistently.

Before I started using injections, I tried pills and they did nothing for me. Now, looking back, maybe I didn’t know how to use them. I would take the pill and wait for the erection that never happened.

Now, after some research, I believe after taking the pill, there should be some foreplay, maybe long term deeply engaged foreplay.

Questions:
1. Do you have to take them (Viagra) several days before they start to really work? In other words, is it not uncommon for them not to work on the first try.

2, How much/how long should it take for the foreplay to make things happen?

Any and all comments and suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
RJ

The pills can help your erections but there needs to be stimulation and arousal.

Sure, give pills a try. Try them all: Viagra, levitra, cialis (both daily cialis and situational).

I found that daily cialis helped my erections both when having sex and nocturnal erections (morning wood) which are good for penile health.

If you are in the USA and pills at your pharmacy are expensive ask your doctor to call in the prescription to Mark Cuban’s “CostPlus Drugs”. It’s a legitimate online pharmacy. My 90 day supply of 10mg Tadalafil (Cialis) is under $20 shipped.

I use at night to help with nocturnal erections. Sildenafil (20mg) at Costco is $7.

I have not had any luck getting hard with full-on 100mg dose. Trimix is my go to.
