Expressing sexual intimacy and pleasing the special person in your life is a wonderful experience for both of you. Not only does it bring you close emotionally but is physically satisfying and great for your health. Recent studies have shown that regular sexual activity can boost your immune system, lower blood pressure, burn calories, ease pain, lessen risk of heart attacks, improve sleep, lower stress levels, and may even lower the risk of prostate cancer. Wow – that’s an impressive list of reasons to have frequent sex!
But what if you have trouble getting or maintaining an erection? This is an issue known as erectile dysfunction, or ED for short. Approximately 1 million men in the South Africa suffer from this condition. It is a problem that unfortunately may not get better on its own, yet often goes untreated because men are too embarrassed to discuss it with their healthcare providers. How terrible to miss out on such a satisfying part of life when there is help for it! Among the treatments for erectile dysfunction is an effective medication called Cialis.
Cialis is a medication for correcting ED that has been on the market since 2003. This medicine works by relaxing certain muscles and directing more blood flow to them. It works to help maintain erections for sexual activity by relaxing the blood vessels in the penis and keeping it erect while the man is sexually aroused. One of the advantages to using Cialis is that it boasts the fastest reaction time of the ED drugs on the market – about 20 minutes to a half hour – which is very convenient and you don’t have to always plan ahead to take it. This medication only needs to be taken once a day but it is long lasting, keeping its effects for up to 36 hours. This provides an obvious advantage in that a man doesn’t have to worry about the effects of the drug wearing off too quickly. Because of the slow breakdown of the drug and its eventual build up in the body, men can experience longer times of being able to have an erection, making for a more spontaneous and fun sexual life!
But how well does this medicine work for treating ED? The answer is: very well! Cialis boasts a success rate of 70% or above. Another benefit to Cialis is that men can consume any food or alcohol (in moderation) without affecting the drug. So take your Cialis, treat your romantic partner to a candlelight dinner and a glass of wine, and have a beautiful evening!
