Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

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
