Erectile Dysfunction, Cialis®, and Back Pain

So, I’m doing some special research on the vast spectrum of so-called “Side Effects” caused by the erectile drugs, Cialis and the others, when I find a line on the Cialis web site, included under the heading The most common side effects with CIALIS are. It reads:

“Men who get back pain and muscle aches usually get it 12 to 24 hours after taking CIALIS.”

I started to laugh.

If you’re a bloated slug that hasn’t moved your ass off your Barcalounger since Monica Lewinsky was in the news, then yeah, I think you’re going to have some back pain after you’ve taken Cialis. And leg pain, and a burning in your lungs, and perhaps an inguinal hernia, too.

If it hadn't occurred to you, sex is a pretty aggressive physical activity. If you're cleaning the garage, you can quit if your back starts to hurt. When you're pushing toward the sexual goal post, it's really difficult to break stride, especially if you're using your first functional woody in a couple of years.

More astonishing is the fact that you’ve found anyone with whom to use it. To what level of personal deprecation and self loathing must a woman sink to allow you to lay on top of her while you the flop around with an artificial boner, your sole intent being to pump out a few drops of lifeless body fluid before returning to your recliner? Further,during this egregious excuse for love making, you’re gasping for air with such desperation that Greenpeace shows up to push you back into the water.

When you finally roll over, she gets her datebook and crosses 2011 off her honey-do list.

Drugs that provide temporary relief from erectile dysfunction are not a cure-all for your sex life. To experience great sex, not just the occasional partner-accompanied orgasm, your body must be prepared to be a delivery mechanism for your erection.

You must have the body strength, lung capacity and stamina to do the job. This includes:

• Lasting long enough to provide your lady with some satisfaction, or you’ll be replaced – gleefully, I might add – by something with rechargeable batteries. That is, if you haven’t so offended her libido that she has performed a quiet, personal funeral and buried it for life.
• You’ve got to allow your body the time to build up momentum before you reach climax so that your orgasm and concomitant ejaculation come from deep down and are truly worth the effort.
• You must survive. There’s a saying that airline pilots have, “Any landing is a good landing if you can walk away from the plane.” A great landing? “Any landing you can walk away from, and use the aircraft again on the same day.” Same goes for sex.

Will you be able to walk away? Or will some EMT wind up trying to pump life back into your naked, sweaty, flaccid body... boner pills stops working when your heart does. Will you be able to use the machinery again on the same day? Is there any chance you’ll be invited to?

If you have erectile dysfunction that’s not directly attributable to surgery, injury or other diagnosed cause – that is, if you’re one of the 70%+ whose dick just stop working, then you must get some exercise. You don’t have to run a marathon, or run at all. You’ve just got to get your blood and body fluids moving again.

If you don’t, you’re going to wind up with back pain -- and perhaps chest pain -- whether or not you've taken erectile dysfunction medications.

I suggest some specialized exercises in my book... easy things you can do in the privacy of your home without having to purchase any devices or contraptions.
