I've had problems with this, and yes, I've used each of the meds available. I'm 46, and I have Type II diabetes. Before that, I was on some of the earliest anti-depressants on the market, which also left me with a dead sex drive for years on end. It's doesn't happen to me all the time, but often enough that it could cause some major confidence issues. When it does happen, it's great to have a "plan B." The fact that there are treatments for this dysfunction is a godsend. Less than 20 years ago, myself and men like me would have had to just shut down, and walk away from our sexuality. Sure, it would be great if I were 18 again, and were still getting erections when I'm just looking at an attractive female. (or in my case, person) I would especially like it if my physical response to my partner did not depend on a pill... but the pill is still better than sitting there, and both of us having to make apologies, and both be silently wondering if it's ourselves that are lacking... No, the only commercials that I hated are the ones for the fake pills. "Smilin' Bob" with his whistling tune, was yanked because that commercial was for a cruel form of snake oil. It couldn't have been taken off the air fast enough for my taste. I'm still wondering why so many people in the Cialis commercials are taking baths outside... but I guess I'm just not seeing the metaphor. Lavitra at least approaches the reality of the situation. But I still find Viagra to be the best on the market. The others seem to be pretty lacking in their effect. With Viagra, the problem isn't so much getting an erection, but what to do with it after the first two hours... (ring toss often works)
