I’m Gaku, a male member in my early 50s.
After being shocked by an experience in my late 40s when I couldn’t perform even with a beautiful woman naked right in front of me, I started strength training. If you don’t want to use medication, you need to build muscle that helps maintain good circulation.
That said, I sometimes get carried away and drink too much, and I worry about losing my erection partway through. So I take medication when I meet women. It takes away the anxiety that I might not be able to perform, which lets me enjoy the date more.
The one I use is Cialis. Since it’s also used to treat an enlarged prostate, it may be easier to get if you have a doctor friend. These days, there are quite a few clinics specializing in ED, so you can get the genuine product cheaply without buying suspicious generics online.
Viagra and Levitra seem to make me harder, but they’re more affected by food. Cialis also lasts longer—over 24 hours—so since I like to take my time with papa-katsu during overnight stays, I usually go with Cialis.

For women, penetration isn’t necessarily the only source of satisfaction, so I think it really comes down to what you want. If you’d like to take it and then be intimate, you can simply take it without saying anything and proceed as usual.
When it comes to medication taken for a specific purpose, other people don’t have any reason to judge, and I don’t think you need to worry about it either.

Whether or not to take medication is something you should decide for yourself. If you don’t want to go through with it badly enough to take medication, then I don’t think you need to take it.
I think you can still enjoy a regular date, and there are also ways to enjoy yourselves by going to a hotel without going all the way.
How do you want to live your life? If you think about that, I believe you’ll arrive at your own answer.
By the way, you may have reservations about ED medication, but Viagra was originally researched and developed as a treatment for angina. Since it dilates blood vessels and lowers blood pressure, simply taking it can actually reduce the strain on the heart.
When this drug, then under development and known as UK-92480, was administered to patients, an unexpected side effect was reported by several of them: persistent erections that wouldn’t subside. That led researchers to change course, developing it not as a treatment for high blood pressure or heart disease as originally planned, but as a treatment for erectile dysfunction.
That’s a well-known story.
Writing this, though… Romane, you’re incredible. And somehow, I found myself thinking, “I guess that’s just what successful people are like,” and accepting it.
Looking at how this conversation is unfolding… are we being used for some pharmaceutical industry’s stealth marketing? (lol)

> There are various types of medication, but for the men here, which ones do you take, and how long before?
It’s best to take them on an empty stomach, but I once read a blog saying they worked when taken up to three minutes before a meal. In my experience, they’ve also worked when taken just a few minutes before eating, so I think it’s best to experiment and find the dosage and timing that suit you.
They don’t work very well after eating, so even if it’s at the last minute, it’s better to take them before a meal. Cialis isn’t affected by food, but it made me feel sick even the next day, so I gave up on it… Though it did last for nearly 40 hours.
Whether they work or not depends on the person and the medication, and the side effects also vary, so it may be worth trying several types.
> During intimacy, I don’t get hard enough to enter, while I’m very sensitive to stimulation and have been climaxing partway through more often.
I’m not quite sure what you mean by “climaxing partway through,” but—
If you’re able to climax, you could instead focus on bringing the woman to her climax. If you climax at that point, you might both be able to relax…
> Ladies, how do you feel about men who take medication so they can continue?
I have no interest in alcohol, smoking, pachinko, golf, gambling, games, or anything like that, so I’ve always been very interested in exploring ways to make women feel good.
But if you have things like drinking or golf that you enjoy and that add some weight to your life, I think being able to enjoy life naturally would be satisfying enough.
Women generally don’t think about sex as much as men imagine, so I believe it’s important to convey how happy and comfortable you are simply being together.
If you properly communicate to your partner that you’re very satisfied with her—including sexually—and that you’re also excited, it may help reduce the mental pressure.

So everyone takes them, huh? I’m relieved…
I tried three kinds. Cialis makes me feel sick, so because of the side effects, I split a Viagra-type pill into quarters and use it that way.
I feel like the medication makes it harder to climax, and when I start worrying about it, I have even more trouble controlling things…
Until recently, I thought, “Medication? Really…?”
But now that I know something like this exists, I’m starting to think it might be as essential as makeup is for women…
P.P.S. Mac
Are the pills taken to relieve menstrual pain less effective as contraception? Are they different types of medication with different purposes? Or do they work as contraceptives too, but that’s simply not their intended use?
P.P.P.S. Mac
Thank you! I figured that was probably the case.
But it’s still hard to bring up… I don’t think I can say anything…
The purpose is different, after all…
P.P.P.P.S.
Oh, she’s already taking them for menstrual pain… When I casually asked, she didn’t know they could also be used for contraception because that wasn’t why she was taking them… But I can’t tell her…
For a moment, I was happy when I heard it, but the purpose was completely different… I was surprised to learn that the pill could be used for that too…
And seeing her take them every day made me realize once again just how painful it must be for her—and how severe it is if she can barely even meet anyone.
