I had a failure to launch incident last night.

I'm getting worried. Is it time for the blue pill? Any thoughts other than wisecracks?

Levitra...although if you want absolute certainty, go with the injection drugs. Cheaper and works every time, I'm told.

I've used to work in the pharmaceutical industry for years and years (clinical research) and from what I've seen and learned over the numbers of drug developement trials is:
Go and talk to your Dr first. The easiest thing in the world is the blue pill. This is not a solution. The "failure to launch incident" could be a result of many things. DO NOT assume that you can't do it any more. Don't go down this road, everything start from the mind, so don't put yourself down. Simple worry at your business can affect you.
So before you go down the "blue pill" road look at your general health. Remember that any of this "helping" pills will put additional load to your heart, blood stream etc.
After all this years in the business I am very reluctant to take any pills. Perhaps I've seen too many side effects......
Just my $0.02

Aklim's reliable boosterism of Cialis is worthy of cracking wise.

No offense, but how is your overall health? The ability to vigorously pump blood is a big (npi) part of a successful entry vehicle. I have yet to try any of the pills (59 y.o.) though I may adjust my attitude in 10 years or so.

Since an enhancement in health will also improve the willingness of prospective partners, I'd say that is the place to focus one's energies.

See a doctor first. Re-examine any pills you're already taking. Blood pressure meds can have that side effect. If you don't exercise and are able to-start. If you smoke you should probably stop. Same with heavy drinking.

Too much alcohol or too frequent alcohol and/or weed consumption can do it.

It can also be a beacon warning for prostate issues, bladder problems, or even sinusitis or sinus infections.

You may not be aware that Viagra is actually a drug developed some time ago to treat blood clots in the lung. Its current use is based on the side effects observed from its original purpose.

I am NOT a fan of taking any drug for a purpose it was not originally designed.

You should have a chat with your doc, assuming he/she is the clued-in type (not just a candy dispenser).

You are correct to some level, the drug clinical trial was specifically for post heart operation interventions for a male subjects between the age of 45 and 60. In short the drug initial purpose was to help the blood circulation and take away some of the load from the heart. However the subjects on active drug started refusing to return the remaining pills after the trail finished as per protocol. No one from the placebo group kept the pills. The sponsor of the study (read pharmaceutical company) was puzzled by this so they have conducted interviews with all of the subject. Everyone told them that they are not sure about the heart effect but "the other" effect was fabulous. Needless to say that the post operation heart drug trial was immediately closed. 4 months later new study was commissioned and the Viagra was born. The rest as they say is a history.
The heart patients lost but the older population discovered the joy of intimacy once again

L-Arginine. aka Poor man's Viagra. Be sure to take enough... at least 3 to 5 grams or more. I take it every day. Helps with the angina.

My Cardio told me about L-Aginine about 5 years ago.

Arginine - MayoClinic.com

Arginine is a chemical precursor to nitric oxide (a blood vessel-widening agent called a vasodilator). Early evidence suggests that arginine may help treat medical conditions that improve with increased vasodilation. These conditions include chest pain, atherosclerosis (clogged arteries), heart disease or failure, erectile dysfunction, intermittent claudication/peripheral vascular disease, and vascular headaches (headache-inducing blood vessel swelling).

My Cardio only gives me samples of Blue Diamonds. Reason: If you need to take a quick hit of nitro for your heart, Viagra leaves the system quicker than Cialis and the other one, so you will be less prone to risk of loooww blood pressure.

Not true. Ask yourself about the terminal half life of Viagra and Levitra. Cost is about the same as is the terminal half life. Cost of cialis is also about the same but the terminal half life is about 17.5 hrs to the 4.5 for Viagra and Levitra. More bang for your buck.
