Hello. I’m a male member in my 50s.

I’m Teramoto from the Tokyo branch of Universe Club, and I’ll answer as well. I also have many opportunities to take Levitra, and I’ve found that whether or not I follow this rule makes a clear difference in firmness: “Make sure you haven’t eaten anything for six hours before taking it, and only drink water.” I’m not sure what dosage the person asking the question is using, but personally, I think the 20 mg dose of regular Levitra—not the generic version—is the most effective. I haven’t tried ICI therapy myself yet, so I can’t comment on what it feels like to use it… I hope following the Teramoto rule above will help you, even in some small way. By the way, if you plan to have a meal with your partner first, it may be very difficult. I’m upfront beforehand that, honestly, I can’t be intimate without the medication. Of course, some people react with, “Huh? Really?” But since sexual desire is one of the three basic human needs, I’ve decided it’s nothing to be embarrassed about and simply take a transactional approach to it. I still haven’t gotten used to either of these two things: the nasal congestion after taking Levitra, and that feeling of the food sitting heavily in my stomach if I eat after taking it.

I’m Kamihikōki, a male member who has about the same success rate and struggles with ED. So you can imagine how nervous and frightened I was the first time… I hope you’re able to make good use of ED medication such as Cialis and meet a wonderful partner. Since it was your first time, I assume you were meeting someone attractive, so your actual level of excitement was probably quite high. What do you think? Because it was your first meeting, is it possible that you took the medication too early while taking your time over dinner? Or perhaps you took it when you weren’t fasting? Both Cialis and Viagra can work if they’re absorbed on an empty stomach—even right before a meal (about 3–10 minutes beforehand for Viagra and 10–20 minutes beforehand for Cialis). If you time it so that the medication reaches its peak, you should be able to approach the situation with more confidence and peace of mind. Even if you’re technically fasting, I feel that eating a small amount beforehand may interfere with absorption. I also find that taking it with anything other than water doesn’t work quite as well. It’s important to take it with water while your stomach is empty. If dinner runs long, you can spend some relaxed time having tea and wait for solid food to digest. At that point, you can also take an additional dose of ED medication. If you split the pills in half or into quarters beforehand, you can take extra doses in two or three stages—before meeting, before dinner, upon arriving at the hotel, or if things are taking longer than expected—at the timing when they seem most likely to work. Knowing that the medication is working during the crucial time also gives you a different level of reassurance. With a 70% success rate, you’re already doing very well, so I’m sure you’ll eventually meet a woman who brings that rate up to 100%. We’re getting older too, so it’s impossible to maintain a high success rate with everyone. I think being able to accept that this is a transactional relationship is also very important.

Maezawa from the President’s Office here, answering as well. Thanks for your question. In the movie *Galaxy Express 999*, Antares tells Tetsuro: “Shoot before you get shot.” So I guess it’s kind of like saying, “Get it done before you go soft,” right? That said, it would be impossible to do that with someone you’re meeting for the first time, so perhaps there’s an issue with how you’re taking the medication. Levitra seems to work the fastest, so I assume that’s the one you’re taking. (I previously posted the results of my research on these medications on our blog: https://universe-club.jp/staffblog/53320/) Even Levitra, which is said to work quickly, needs to be taken one hour before intimacy. It’s also said not to be affected by food, but in reality, food does seem to have an effect. So I suspect its effectiveness is being reduced because you’re having dinner with the person you’re meeting for the first time. ① One possible approach would be to order a normal meal but only eat a little. With yakiniku, for example, it’s hard to tell who is eating what, so you could simply reduce the amount you eat considerably. In any case, you need to arrive in the room on an empty stomach. That may also help prevent losing your erection partway through. ② If that’s difficult, take Levitra one hour before the meal. It takes about an hour to start working, so dinner may be a bit challenging, but Levitra 20 mg is said to last for 7–9 hours. Even if the meal takes two hours, only three hours will have passed, so I would expect at least another four hours of effectiveness. That said, considering its elimination half-life is about four hours, I’m a little skeptical about the claimed 7–9-hour duration. If you take it one hour before dinner and the meal lasts two hours, there may only be one hour left, so you may need to shorten the meal somewhat. If you can get the medication to work at 100% effectiveness as described above, I think that will probably solve the problem. What do you think? ③ If Cialis would be better, it’s also affected by food, so you could use the same approach and simply adjust the timing. Cialis reaches its maximum concentration in the bloodstream after about three hours, so I think you would need to take it three hours before the meal. ④ It may also help to drink a nutritional supplement beforehand. I recommend one containing 3,000 mg of taurine. Even if you don’t feel tired, your body may still be fatigued, and it may help when you’re unknowingly worn out.

I’m Kazu, a male member. I’d heard during the risk briefing that it was possible for things not to settle down, but hearing that it had actually happened would make anyone anxious. Let me tell you about a time I used an injection. We were really getting into it, but I climaxed at an awkward point, so I used one. While waiting for it to take effect, we went back to foreplay and got her nice and wet. Before long, the medication kicked in, I was fully hard, and we continued. I kept going until she climaxed again and again, even making her squirt, and we enjoyed ourselves until she could barely stand. It was probably more intense than an adult video. Once you’ve built a relationship with a woman and learned how to use the injection properly, things like this can happen. That said, everyone’s body is different, so I think it’s best to learn how to use it cautiously at first. I wouldn’t recommend using it when you’re still inexperienced and meeting a woman who’s also unfamiliar with it, since that only adds complications. When you’re just starting out, it’s better to try it with someone you trust, while making sure you can contact a doctor immediately if anything happens.
