Only a small fraction of men age 45 to 60 have “true ED”; A larger but still small number of men over 60 have true Ed, defined as the inability to get an erection, even with vigorous physical stimulation.  Conversely, EDis is characterized generally as the inability to get hard merely through visual stimuli, as you probably did in your 20s.  Edis also means being unable to reach the degree of size, firmness and duration that men typically do in their 20s.

Castleman posits that true ED is caused by physical problems which inhibit blood flow to the penis. EDis on the other hand, is sometimes due to stress and anxiety during sex, which also limits blood flow to the penis; Anxiety and stress is a result of inadequate or no sex education, which is common for most men.  Because…the only “sex ed” most men get is from porn—porn that shows men with huge cocks.  These images lead men to believe they must be as big as the porn actors.  Further, education through porn or a “street education”, hasn’t taught men that women rarely have orgasm through penile vaginal penetration. Women’s orgasms are usually reached by cunnilingus or other clitoral stimulation. Castleman thinks it is amazing how few men know this.  In reality, both men and women reach peak sexual performance when they relax, focus on enjoying each other, and the sensation of skin on skin, not just genitals.

The author states, “just about every man experiences [EDis as a normal part of aging]”.  Men may “droop from minor distractions, anything from donning a condom to hearing a motorcycle roar up the street.” This can be overcome with an ample amount of physical stimulation. He also recommends Viagra and similar treatments for both EDis and ED.

There are subtle differences in how long the drug works and how quickly it works.

Levitra works a little longer than Viagra. They both take effect in about 30 minutes. With Levitra, the effects last for about 5 hours. With Viagra, the effects last approximately 4 hours.

Cialis works a bit faster (within about 15 minutes), and the effects last much longer — up to 36 hours in some cases.

Viagra

VIAGRA is the most prescribed oral medicine for erectile dysfunction (ED). Worldwide, it has helped 25 million men with ED improve their erections.

• VIAGRA has an established safety profile of more than 10 years

• VIAGRA works for most men with ED

• VIAGRA is safe for men with ED who have certain other conditions

Getting an Erection is only Part of the Story
Men agree. In a global survey, men identified 3 of the most important elements of a satisfying sexual experience: hardness, timing, and the ability to maintain an erection. VIAGRA can help with all 3.

Find out if VIAGRA is right for you. Speak to your doctor. He can tell you if you have ED. And can recommend an effective treatment like VIAGRA.

Cialis

Do you want the freedom and flexibility to choose when the moment is right for sexual activity. And when the moment is right, do you want to know that your ED (erectile dysfunction) medicine can work for you. If you answered yes, CIALIS offers you choices—two different dosing options to meet your individual needs and lifestyle.

Levitra

LEVITRA (vardenafil HCI) is an FDA-approved oral prescription medication for the treatment of erectile dysfunction (ED) in men. It is available in 2.5-mg, 5-mg, 10-mg, and 20-mg tablets and is taken about 1 hour prior to sexual activity. Take LEVITRA no more than once a day.

What LEVITRA does:

• LEVITRA helps increase blood flow to the penis, so it may help men with ED get and keep an erection that lasts long enough for sexual activity.

•LEVITRA has been clinically shown to improve erectile function, even in men who had other health factors, like high cholesterol1, high blood pressure2, or diabetes.
