    What does a vasodilator do for men without ED? Does it make you stay hard after orgasm?

    I always thought healthy men taking it was just a movie trope.

      I have taken it a few times. The best way I can describe it is that, everyone has the kegel muscle. It’s the muscle you squeeze when peeing and the stream comes out stronger.

      For men, when you have a hard on and you squeeze/tense that muscle, it makes the boner, harder. So (at least for me) when taking it, it’s like having the hardness of squeezing, without needing to squeeze. So it just gives me a harder, hardon.

      I still need to get aroused to get it up, but when it’s up, it’s a stronger boner.

      After ejaculation, it still goes down.

        After ejaculation, it still goes down.

        That’s the biggest part I was wondering about since it’s basically a meme that men take it and last all night.

        I’ve got great control over my pubococcygeus muscle as it is, and I’m fine with how hard I am and how long I last. Don’t think I’ll bother trying it unless I develop ED.

        A good way to strengthen that muscle is to repeatedly stop and start your stream when urinating.

      It just makes it easier to get and maintain erections, you still need to be turned on to get one, it’s not a magic boner creator unfortunately. Honestly, doesn’t work as well as regular exercise.

        See, that’s what I figured. I know it’s extremely effective for ED, but figured it was mostly a meme about functional men taking it to have crazy sex.

      You can achieve the same effect by taking a small dose of yohimbine, which is a supplement you can buy on Amazon. When I say small dose I mean I usually dump 80% of the pill … otherwise it’ll keep you up and amped for 10+ hours.

      I’ll take it every now and then… research on your own
