11. ED experiences

Any PCP (M/F)will give an embarrassed explanation of where any ED treatment only aids in erection, still needing female attention. This not true in my experience; intraurethral Levitra (below) is an erectant, not merely an ED treatment. But, anyway....

I have ED either due to my vintage (59), or nerve damage from cancer chemotherapy (platinum). Three drugs may help you, all of which I've used (I am not a doctor, and give no medical advice, only my personal experience):

Viagra: the famous blue pill, the original. Works. Many side effects, flushing, tachycardia, elevated heart rate. Bluing of vision. Really weird. Turn on the bathroom light, the whole room is blue. Takes an hour to kick in if taken after a meal, wears off in 8 hours. It goes off-patent soon, and should be cheap shortly. A brute-force drug, the worst choice, soon the cheapest.

Levitra: Chemically, a minor variant of Viagra. An -OH group replaces an -H group of Viagra. 6X more effective, and far more targeted. Virtually no side effects. If you're brave, you can take intraurethrally (yes... injected as a wet mush into your urethra with a hypo, a warm sensation, and it works in THREE MINUTES with a small dose) My insurance no longer covers it.

Cialis: Chemically completely different than the above, a half-life twice as long. One pill covers a weekend. No side effects I've found. Cheaper than Levitra. Tastes sweet. Doesn't seem to work intraurethreally. Who cares, it's good for a few days, plan ahead.
