Anyone been on Cialis for extended periods of time to comment on whether they became dependent on it? Granted if you had ED before taking it and it fixed it for you then I can see that being some form of dependence, but I’m mainly interested in people or anecdotes of others that have taken it...

I'm 62 and have had ED for about 30 years. Looking back, I can see roughly when it gradually began and continued to slowly get worse over time. When Viagra and Cialis came out, they were miracle drugs for me - I couldn't have been happier with their performance. However, their effectiveness...

After taking it for less than 2 weeks, I've given up TRT androgel testosterone therapy since hair loss is a symptom I cannot risk possessing. Recently I read an article about a med that docs prescribe to boost dopamine levels in the brain that in turn boosts libido. Sadly I can't find this...

Does testosterone play a role in male erection? If yes, how does it help to achieve an erection?
