Good news for sheep but more studies will be done. Some of us need this now. Actually prescribed for me after my prostrate cancer surgery for rehab and still taking this at my own expense.

I take 5mg everyday 

From the story:

Despite the encouraging results from our study and the fact that drugs to treat erectile dysfunction are now available without a prescription

Really? Where? (I mean other than at any drugstore in Thailand.)

Online prescriptions/doctors.

 

Tried one place online- no prescription and they sometimes send 12 junk emails daily for their Canadian “Pharnacy”

In the UK, any pharmacy can supply Viagra Connect (50mg) without a prescription.

For bigger doses or alternatives to sildenafil there are online GP services where you just fill in an online self-assessment form and a real GP signs a private prescription (for a fee, naturally). Also useful (and cheaper than the high street) for getting anti-malarials and other travel medication that needs a prescription. The reputable ones don't bombard you with emails.

So is one of these drugs, Viagra or Cialis, more effective than the other? Does one have fewer side effects? I've only tried Viagra, and it leaves me a terrible two-day headache.

Different drugs have different side effects on different people.  I tried all three drugs:  Viagra, Cialis, Levitra.  I finally settled on Levitra.  I still get side effects, but it's the least of the three.  You should test all three and decide your preference.

I do not trust online drugs, either the "authentic" or "generic".  You just don't know the authenticity or the quality of the on-line drugs.

"Need"?  I doubt it.  "Desired"?  For some, yes.  I, too, am a prostate cancer survivor.

"any drug store in Thailand"    Without a prescription?????   WHERE?

 

Viagra gives me headaches too, but Cialis does not!

Cialis lasts longer (something like 36 hours compared with 4 for the others) which may be why it's also prescribed for BPH.

Otherwise just try them and see which has fewest side-effects (headaches etc) but also note that some of them can interact with other medication and some heart conditions.

You can find more useful medical information on the Doctor Fox website. (But note that as a registered and regulated online UK pharmacy they won't deliver abroad 😕)

isn't it better to talk to real doctor ? Most of us perhaps are not qualified enough to understand and even less to qualify  what Dr. Google type of websites are telling

Certainly.  (Probably better still to talk to a pharmacist - they are likely to have more detailed knowledge of things like drug interactions etc 😀.)

But the site I linked may provide helpful basic information to answer most of the questions that have been asked above (how long does it last, what are the side-effects etc.). It's a bit more than "Dr Google" : the information is  authored by a team of identifiable doctors,  name-checked complete with their professional registration data.
