There’s always something the other guy has that you might want: a cool car, a great boss, an incredible job title, or a high-tech gadget. But no matter who you are, there’s one thing every guy has to deal with sometimes: the rare occasion where he can’t have or sustain an erection. In fact people with high stress jobs or on-the-go lifestyles can be more susceptible to the exhaustion, flu-and-cold symptoms, or stress that can make it difficult to have sex.

For some men, though, erectile dysfunction (or ED) becomes a recurring problem. Diabetes, high blood pressure, or clogged arteries can reduce blood flow to the penis. ED can also be caused by physical blockages (like prostate enlargement), hormonal imbalance, or medications (like antidepressants). For about 20% of men with ED, psychological issues may be contributing to the problem.

It’s important to realize that many of these causes have nothing to do with age. If you are experiencing problems with ED, it doesn’t mean you’re getting "old" – it’s just a sign to make some minor changes.

Take Charge

For many of the causes of ED, managing the underlying illness or problem will be enough to improve sexual function. In some cases, however, Cialis can help with sexual activity.

Cialis works on both the muscles and the blood vessels of the penis. It encourages the blood vessels to open up so that more blood can enter the penis. Once the blood is there, the spongy muscles that make up the bulk of the penis relax so the blood vessels have room to expand, creating an erection.

Cialis will never be in control: You will.

Some men are concerned that they won’t be able to control when an erection occurs... just like junior high. But Ciallis only works in conjunction with sexual stimulation. Cialis is ready exactly when you are.

More importantly though, you don’t have to interrupt a relaxing moment over dinner to take a pill "just in case." Cialis has been shown to work for up to 36 hours (yep, no stress.) so you can take it in the morning and not have to worry about it when you’ve got more important things going on!

Talk with your doctor to see if Cialis is right for you.

There are very few side effects associated with Cialis, but knowing about them can help prepare you. Rarely, men do experience muscle aches, especially in the back, after they take the pill. They should go away on their own, but if the aches hang around for more than 24 hours, give your doctor a call.

Some drugs that affect your heart and blood pressure can have serious interactions with Cialis, particularly nitrate drugs (for chest pain) and many (though not all) alpha blockers (for high blood pressure). Other drugs can also interact with Cialis, so take a list of all the drugs you’re taking with you talk with your doctor about Cialis.

You’re ready to go!

Once you and your doctor have discussed Cialis and determined that it’s right for you, grab that prescription and head to the pharmacy! If you prefer discretion, you can fill the prescription at a reputable on-line pharmacy. That’s the end of your ED worries
