Cialis commercials

[glugglug]

Erections lasting longer than 4 hours while taking Cialis are rare, but require immediate medical attention.

Is that part of the commercial supposed to be a warning, or a selling point?

Doesn't one of these drugs last 36 hours?

Do they define medical attention?

In an erection, blood is not circulating so, you are nto getting fresh oxygen.
After a while, your tissue dies.
When tissue in your wang dies, you can get temporary or permanent damage to your johnson.

Yar, this is also the reason for morning wood. Body does it if you don't.

How is that the reason for morning wood.

Lack of oxygen to the tissue. While flaccid the penis has virtually no bloodflow to it.

I thought while erect, there is no bloodflow to the penis?

When you have wood, the blood does not drain from your penis.
Since none goes out, none goes in. So no oxygenated blood flows in.
I have no idea why you get mornig wood, but it is not to increase oxygen, otherwise the folks who need Cialis, would have already lost their penis, so thye would not need Cialis anymore.

What is priapism?




Priapism is a prolonged and painful erection that can last from several hours up to a few days. The priapismic erection is NOT associated with sexual thoughts or sexual activity. What happens is that blood flows into the penis, but is unable to drain as it would in a normally flaccid penis. Considering that the penis provides little room for blood to circulate, the blood becomes stagnant after a while, acidifies, and loses oxygen. Without oxygen, the red blood cells become stiff, and even less able to squeeze their way out of the penis.

Very few cases of priapism are without an obvious cause. In most cases, priapism results from one of two things: certain medications or medical conditions. Under the category of medications, there are two primary culprits. For one, penile injections used to treat some forms of impotence can cause priapism; however, this usually only happens when a man decides, on his own, to increase the dosage. Second, psychiatric medications, such as anti-depressants, seem to cause some cases of priapism; however, how these drugs affect priapism is unclear. The second major cause of priapism is certain medical conditions and diseases -- generally, any that cause the blood to thicken, or cause red blood cells to lose their flexibility and mobility. Sickle-cell anemia and leukemia are probably the most common conditions that cause priapism.

Most men will seek treatment for this painful erection before it goes on for too long, usually within four to six hours. This is good since priapism can scar the penis if not treated early enough, and this can lead to impotence. In most cases, treatment involves draining the penis with a needle placed in the side of the penis. Medications that act on the blood vessels can also be injected to help shrink blood vessels and, thus, decrease blood flow into the penis. Sickle-cell anemia patients with priapism are usually treated by blood transfusion.

Interestingly, this condition was named after Priapus, the Greek god of fertility. Statues and pictures of Priapus always showed him to be rather well-endowed and, seemingly, perpetually erect. And, if Alice remembers correctly, there was a small rock band out of Somerville, MA that called themselves Priapism....

It's the same basic idea; tissues not getting enough oxygen.

The requirements for sex are much higher. You don't need raging wood to keep the tissue alive.

On the contrary, raging wood, can damage tisse.
Wood for over 4 hours WILL damage tissue.

i read somewhere one guy with an erection that lasted too long got gangrene eventually.. lost his wang and his legs.

I'm sure 4+ hour erections are bad indeed *thanks god for good plumbing*, never said they weren't. But to have intercourse there has to be a certain level of rigidity... to keep the tissue alive, there just has to be a little bloodflow, there's a big difference. At any rate, the main reason for morning wood is to keep the blood flowing. Even people in need of Cialis can have this process going on, though it might be more like morning sponge. The other reason is to help cinch the bladder if it's exceptionally full - though I've woken up needing to go like a racehorse and not had any semblance of an erection because of it.
