hey
@billyS , meant to respond to some of your posts earlier but never got around to it. Sorry! So, I've experimented with both V and S in the past couple months or so. The "why" is important - I'm in my early 30's, about 170# and athletic. Yet, I increasingly feel like my dick doesn't get as hard as it used to. I can recall having threesomes in college while stupid drunk yet still holding a raging boner for hours with multiple pops and no refractory period. Can't do that shit now. I have no problem holding my release back til my partner's done, but no matter how much I think "I'm gonna cum and then stick it in her ass!" as I get close to the edge, once I go over those thoughts fly out the window. I thought maybe it was the body letting the mind down, though in retrospect perhaps it's the other way around.
So anyway, years ago I had a weekend escape planned with a Tinder chick around the same time that Lamar Odom put himself in a coma ODing on herbal sex pills. For some reason my reaction to that was "damn I gotta try that stuff" instead of "wtf was he thinking." I got some shit from a sex shop and basically felt like I was 16 again. Everything I wanted - felt huge, little to no downtime in between pops, lasted all weekend and then some. I'd get hard just taking my pants off to use the toilet (which caused its own unique set of problems). So, every now and then I'd get some gas station shit. Eventually I stopped because unfortunately, as we all know, they're hit or miss and can have serious health repercussions as it's completely unregulated.
Flash forward to a few months ago - saw a promotion for V/C on groupon. got the V as it seemed the best value. I think 50mg pills. Worked, though not as intense as the gas station shit. I also would get a stuffy nose, flushed face, and an uncomfortable headache. 25mg would reduce some of the headache but never really liked how it made me feel. I certainly was harder though. I think it was genius who said they'd get start getting hard again as they were walking out the door - that definitely happens to me. Just need about 20-30 minutes to cool down before I can start again, though I did notice that I stayed harder a little longer after climax. Certainly V was more convenient as I could take it when I wanted it.
Got an rx for C after I ran out. 23mg+1mg of something else in it, I think vitamin B. It's a capsule so you can't cut it. Lasts for about 36-48 hours, and what I like best about it is I don't have any of the negative side effects that I got on V. No headache, flushing, etc etc. The downside is it's definitely not as cost-effective unless you can plan a weekend warrior type thing or plan on seeing providers consecutive days.
