Cialis?

Postby Thinman » Tue Sep 15, 2020 6:39 pm

Has anyone tried taking daily dose Cialis to see if there was any benefit to do so after being implanted? On the one hand it would appear to be useless but on the other it would seem that increased blood flow to the area might be of some benefit.

It can help with glans engorgement but it's not 100% effective. I'm on 5mg daily (I got 20mg on-demand dosage and I quarter the pills for my daily dose.

I was hoping that might be a possibility. Thanks for the response.

To me the whole joy of having an implant is no longer being dependent on meds. Unless my implant weren't work I can't imagine wanting to go back on the pill route

I tried it both ways, stopping the daily Cialis for 2-3 weeks but there was a difference in my sensations and it was even more difficult for me to orgasm with my DE. I'm back to taking 5mg daily and it's still difficult but better than without. I'm still on a quest to find the magic bullet to allow surefire orgasms during penetration but so far almost nothing (once with my wife but I had a large anal plug inserted and I was pulling on it.)

What's the reason for this, is it because Cialis helps engorge the glans?

One thing, you know atypical antidepressants such as Wellbutrin sometimes have a side effect of premature ejaculation (and increased libido), I'm not advocating their use.

Cialis dilates the blood vessels (arteries) allowing more blood flow into the penis. As long as there is no venous leakage to cause the blood to drain out as fast as it's put in, there will be better engorgement UPON AROUSAL. Cialis does not work like many think, giving an instant boner (like injections). Instead it opens things up better so arousal can bring more blood flow into the penis than it ordinarily would.

The implant alone is not enough in that it engorges the corpora? I ask because I have a reaction to PDE5i's however they did work well with arousal and sensitivity, they are a magnificent drug in that respect.

The implant is sufficient for penetration even if a man's glans does not engorge well. Cialis or other drugs may improve engorgement of the remaining erectile tissues (spongiosum/glans penis) but it's not necessary. I have penetrated anally when the partner was "out of practice", by only dilating the anus slightly with a couple of fingers first. Anal penetration is by far the biggest challenge in my mind for any implant due to the tightness of the opening. The fact that I initially could not penetrate but after a 5-6 second finger dilation was able to do so effortlessly tells me that the implants will work even without full glans engorgement. The tips of the implant are hard and as long as sufficient lube is used and you don't FORCE penetration when the orifice isn't receptive, there should be no problem.

Hello all-since my original post I have resumed taking 5mg daily dose Tadalafil ( Cialis). I am happy to report that for me the results are favorable as I am enjoying much improved glans engorgement and the overall appearance of my pumped erection is much more like “the good old days”. So I am taking the little pill along with my daily meds every morning and enjoying the results.
