Exactly How and When to Take Cialis for the Best Results - Better Erections Now (BEN) (2023)

Today we are going to talk about exactly how and when to take Cialis to get the best results possible.

Cialis is a wonder pill for men who suffer from clinical ED – and it’s also pretty damn impressive even for men who don’t have any kind of ED at all.

We’ve written a lot aboutCialisandED pills in generalhere at BEN, but today we’re going to cover a very specific and practical aspect of this famous ED pill – how and when to take Cialis for the best results, period.

By the end of this article you’re going to have a much better idea surrounding how men take Cialis and harness its power to achieve the outcomes they want while minimizing any downsides.

Let’s get to it!

Quick Clarification of Terms

***Note that we are not doctors and nothing here is medical advice. This post is for entertainment purposes only, and represents our non-medical opinions based primarily on first-hand experience.***

Just in case all of this stuff is new to you, we’ll take a moment here to clarify a few common terms.

When we say “Cialis,” we are simply referring to the pharmacological compound called “tadalafil.”

The pharmaceutical ED drug called “Cialis” in the United States is actually just the original and most well recognized brand name for the common pharmaceutical compound called “tadalafil.”

There is no meaningful difference, chemically and pharmacologically speaking, between brand name Cialis and generic Cialis / generic tadalafil.

The only difference is the manufacturer.

So long as your tadalafil comes from a legitimate pharmaceutical manufacturer – typically overseas in countries like India – it will be indistinguishable from brand name Cialis tadalafil made by Eli Lily & Co. in the US.

That said, tadalafil and Cialis have long since become colloquially interchangeable, so that is how we will use those terms, unless otherwise stated.

The same, by the way, is true for sildenafil citrate (or simply, “sildenafil”) whose biggest brand is called “Viagra.”

Similarly, the popular ED drug called Levitra is just the biggest brand name for the generic compound called “vardenafil.”

What Happens When You Take Cialis Correctly for the Best Results

Assuming you take a proper dose for a one-time use (most men take 10mg), you can expect that the desired erectile effects of Cialis will start working within 1-2 hours.

When you take Cialis, or any other ED pill, you don’t instantly get an erection, nor does it mean that once it takes effect, you have a nonstop erection.

A nonstop erection sans arousal is called a “priapism” and that would only potentially happen if you significantly exceeded the recommended dose (and you would then have to seek medical assistance).

Conversely, when you take Cialis your blood vessels open up and blood flows more freely to various areas of the body, including the penis.

Yet, for the best results, you still need to be aroused in some way through the normal channels – sight, touch, sound, thought – to become erect.

That said, when it comes to becoming erect in response to arousing stimuli, you need less of the latter than normal in order to induce a rock-hard erection.

Simply put, the erectile effects of being on tadalafil / Cialis is simply that your erections arrive more easily, are easier to maintain and are overall harder, stronger and better.

In fact, most men attest to the fact that theirerections are somewhat fuller or bigger than normalwhile the effects of Cialis are in place – not a mind-blowing difference from normal, but also definitely noticeable and more robust.

These welcomed effects on erectile quality (and size) apply not only to men who have clinical erectile dysfunction but also to sexually healthy men who have no issues with erectile function.

(As a side note, it is worth mentioning that there is an all natural supplement called VigRX Plus which, if taken daily, produces similar girth-enhancing erectile effects. Read about Justin’s personal experiment to learn more.)

At any rate, there is a lot of scare-mongering online about the dangers of taking Cialis or Viagra recreationally, butmuch of it of it is simply misinformation.

From the time when you take your Cialis dose, the erectile enhancing effects typically last for about 30 hours, give or take a few hours.

This puts Cialis in a category of its own when it comes to other PDE5 inhibitor ED pills.

The effects of Viagra (sildenafil) and Levitra (vardenafil) typically last in full force for 4-5 hours (although some men do report lingering, more subtle but welcomed erectile benefits for several hours beyond that).

Shorter Refractory Timeframe on Cialis

During those 30 hours, most men will notice that they enjoy a much shorter “refractory period” compared to normal.

The refractory period refers to amount of time a man needs following ejaculation in order to get another erection sufficient for sexual intercourse again.

Consequently, most men report being able to engage in sex more frequently (repeatedly) while on Cialis.

Another effect that most men notice is that they are typically able to last longer than usual on Cialis or Viagra, and there is actually somescientific evidencebacking this observation.

As far as side effects go – and we’ll touch more on this in a moment — so long as you take the correct dose, do not have any preexisting condition and are not taking any interacting medicines, these will be either nonexistent or minor (headache, congestion, etc.).

It is also normal within those first couple of hours of taking Cialis to feel a bit warm, maybe slightly flushed, but nothing too pronounced.

Dosing & Safety: How to Take Cialis for the Best Results

*** Again, nothing we say here is medical advice, and we are not doctors. What follows here are merely our opinions, for entertainment. Our only advice is, as always, to consult your physician before taking any new supplement, medication or pharmaceutical. ***

There are a handful of medical conditions which could preclude a man from safely taking Cialis, and there are some medications which, if taken along with Cialis, could cause complications or danger.

In addition to checking with your doctor, you can reference ourcomprehensive guide to Viagra, Cialis and Levitrawhich touches on these issues and provides a list (not exhaustive) of the sorts of conditions and medications to which this warning applies.

Now that we have that out of the way, let’s take a closer look at how to take Cialis for the best results.

Dosing: What is the Consensus Normal Range?

The officially recommended dosing range for one-time Cialis use (as opposed to daily indefinite use) is 10mg to 20mg.

In our anecdotal experience and observations, 20mg of Cialis is going to be substantially in excess of what a normal man needs in order to experience the desired effects of Cialis.

The large majority of men will respond to a dose of not more than 10mg, and perhaps some will respond best to slightly less.

What will happen if you take 20mg when you actually only needed 10mg?

Probably just more pronounced side effects which make the experience less pleasant for the first several hours if not unenjoyable altogether.

The norm for generic Cialis bought online is that the tabs are 20mg a piece, although you can order smaller ones.

Tabs of 20mg can simply be broken in half, for example.

When unsure about dosing, it is always better to start smaller – if you don’t get the desired results, wait a couple days and maybe take a slightly higher amount, but it is not wise to pile on the dosing in the same time period.

Can Cialis Be Used Recreationally If You Don’t Have ED?

Just to be clear, we are not advocating that anyone take Cialis recreationally or without a prescription — talk to your doctor first if you want to try Cialis.

However, the reality is that some men who do not actually have erectile dysfunction sometimes use Cialis or Viagra.

The reasons men use Cialis recreationally tend to fall into the following categories:

• To combatCondom Associated Erection Problems(CAEP)
• Performance enhancement (harder, stronger erections & shorter refractory period)
• Temporarily bigger or thicker erections
• To maximize copulation and sexual activity during a weekend getaway (‘the weekend pill’)

While no doctor or manufacturer is going to recommend that men take Cialis recreationally, the question many men want to know is whether something bad will happen if they do not have ED take Cialis for one of the above reasons.

The answer is that there is nothing inherently dangerous about taking Cialis if you don’t have ED versus if you do have ED.

Men who are new to Cialis are wise to always start with a dose at the lower end of the consensus normal range to see how they react to it.

Moreover, men who use Cialis recreationally must make sure – just like anyone else – that they are not taking any interacting medications and that they do not have any of the medical conditions that might make Cialis prohibitive or unwise.

Timing Your Cialis Dose: When to Take Cialis for the Best Results

Cialis, and of course any generic tadalafil such as Tadarise or Tadacip, typically starts working within about 60-90 minutes, but it can take up to two hours.

Therefore, if you want to be extra sure that it will be working by the time you are engaging in sexual activity, you could take it three hours in advance of the expected time of copulation and be certain that it would be working.

In this way, Cialis provides a bit more leeway than Viagra or Levitra in that you have a much larger window of time with which to work.

Consequently, less strict planning or accounting for logistics is required with Cialis.

Tips for Performance Anxiety

If you are taking Cialis as a means of giving yourself a boost to combat nervousness or performance anxiety, there are a few things to keep in mind.

Firstly, Cialis can certainly help with this, although it is not magic.

You will still have to be somewhat relaxed in order to become aroused, just like normal.

The difference with Cialis is that

a) the threshold for becoming aroused enough for a good erection is lower

b) once you get an erection, it is easier to maintain even if you were nervous or distracted.

If you want to be sure it is working before a sexual encounter takes place, try this:

Once an hour or two has passed, if you haven’t noticed any effects, simply sit down by yourself, close your eyes and take some deep breaths to relax.

Then think about something that arouses you and focus on it in detail.

If you don’t notice anything, then try looking at some stimulating images.

When you start to get an erection, you’ll know it is working by the power of the erection – even if you don’t have any sort of ED – because it comes hard and strong even compared to the normal erections of a healthy young man.

Alternatively, if you are with your partner and are wondering if the Cialis has started working yet, you’ll know if you are engaging in any sort of pleasant physical contact with her – cuddling, touching or even holding hands can be enough to induce that rock-hard Cialis erection.

Dealing with Potential Side Effects

When you are making an effort to take Cialis for the best results, it’s important to minimize any potential unpleasant side effects.

And it should go without saying that if you feel serious side effects like chest pains or difficulty breathing, for example, then seek medical help ASAP to be on the safe side.

Serious side effects, especially if you don’t have a preexisting condition, interacting medication and assuming that you don’t exceed the recommended dose, are rare.

The common side effects of Cialis still only affect a minority of men at the recommended doses, yet they are common enough to mention:

• Nasal congestion
• Flushing
• Headache
• Upset stomach
• Indigestion
• Muscle aches
• Back pain

Some men are more sensitive to Cialis than others, and if these types of minor side effects become a bother, it may just mean that a slightly smaller dose is in order.

After all, while 10mg seems to work for most men, it is still an arbitrary number in the sense that there is no law of nature which says that some men will not get better results at 7.5mg or 8mg, for example.

That said, one thing you can do to reduce some of these effects – like headache and congestion, for example – is to make an extra effort to properly hydrate before and during Cialis use.

We recommend Pedialyte – drink one full container of Pedialyte during the first hour of having taken Cialis and this well help a great deal with dehydration.

If you don’t have Pedialyte on hand, grab some Gatorade or some other electrolyte-replenishing drink.

Also continue drinking water as the hours pass.

And although the effects of Cialis last about 30 hours, in our experience, any congestion or headaches – assuming you hydrate – typically only last for a handful of hours and when you wake up the next day, those side effects are typically gone.

If not, grab a Pedialyte or Gatorade in the AM.

Ultimately, when it comes to these common side effects, most men find that they are tolerable and that the benefits outweigh the downsides.

Some men will find that they experience less side effects with Levitra or Viagra than Cialis, and conversely others will conclude the opposite.

Everyone is a little different and so you’ll have to find what works best for you.

How and When to Adopt Daily Cialis Dosing for Best Results

Everything we have said up to this point has centered around one-time Cialis use, meaning taking a dose of Cialis with the intended effect being to have enhanced erectile and sexual function for up to 30 hours before returning to normal.

Unlike with Viagra (sildenafil) or Levitra (vardenafil), Cialis can be taken once daily in much smaller doses in order to establish and maintain the desired erectile and sexual benefits indefinitely.

The normal daily recommended dose of Cialis (tadalafil) for men opting to go this route is 2.5mg to 5mg.

The reason this is possible is because Cialis stays in your system longer than the other ED pills do, and so after a week or two daily small doses, enough of the tadalafil has built up so as to establish that baseline of its effects.

Those effects can thus be maintained indefinitely simply with a small daily dose of tadalafil.

Where to Source Generic Cialis Online?

If you live in the United States or any other Western country, legitimate, safe Cialis can be obtained in one of two ways:

1. From your neighborhood pharmacy with a doctor’s prescription
2. Buy Cialis online from a reputable overseas vendor

Most websites claiming to sell generic Cialis or tadalafil online are not trustworthy and it is impossible to know how they use your information, what is in their product and from where it is sourced.

That said, there are definitely a number of reputable online vendors of Cialis and other ED pills and most of them do require proof of valid prescription.

However, a few such reputable vendors do not require a prescription.

Like other legitimate online pharmacies, it is easy to see from where their generic Cialis or Viagra is sourced because it comes in the official packaging of the original manufacturer, complete with labels, serial numbers and other clearly identifying information.
