Experiences with viagra

April 25, 2005 3:04 PM

I was wondering what experiences people (both male and female) have had with taking Viagra recreationally. Not looking for the dirty details, just an overview-- Did it work? Did you have a good time? Would you do it again? Side effects, etc.

I've recently acquired two 50mg tablets and am considering trying them out. I've read a number of pharmaceutical sites about it, but I'd like to hear what real people have to say. Thanks.

Here's a weird account from John Hargrave at Zug.com. I assume you don't plan on trying it at church though...

Sure works! I have had no side affects, but friends have complained about headaches, even the next morning. BTW, half a pill will probably be more than enough for recreational use.

I've used it recreationally twice (without my girlfriend knowing). The first time it worked like the bomb, lasted about 10 hours and we had a great time. Second time (exact same dosage), it didn't work at all, just made me light-headed and dizzy. Kind of a weird stoned feeling for an hour or two.

Would I do it again? I don't know, I definitely wouldn't rule it out though.

I tried it once with my girlfriend, and we both got a three-hour headache for our troubles. I probably won't touch it again until I'm 40. If you're not at the point where you actually need it, I recommend trying other, more intellectually stimulating things instead (use your imagination). It really doesn't offer you anything you don't already have, unless you're actually to the point where you have something which is physically preventing you from getting an erection.

I tried a Cialis once.. Half a tab.. It 'worked', but I understand it's not as rock hard as the viagra, but lasts longer. I got a flush on my chest and a headache later.
