I'm having a bit of an issue and I'm really curious about what's going on. I seem to need constant stimulation to keep an erection; otherwise, it goes away in about 10 seconds. I'm physically fit and have no problems with blood pressure, cholesterol, or sugar levels. Could you help me figure out what might be causing this? Its just a bit worrying since everything else seems fine.

I'm a bit worried because I tried taking a Manforce 100 mg tablet about 30 minutes before having sex with my girlfriend, but it didn't seem to help me stay longer, and I ended up with a headache after half an hour. Can you tell me the right way to use Manforce 100 mg before sex and how long it's meant to keep you going? I'm also curious about the differences between the 50 mg and 100 mg doses. I'm 23 years old, by the way. Should I stick with the 100 mg?

Manforce (sildenafil) 100 mg should be taken on an empty stomach with water about 1 hour before sex for best results, as it needs time to work. Its effect lasts 46 hours but doesn't directly control duration. If 100 mg causes headaches, try 50 mg instead. Consult a doctor to confirm the dose suitable for you.
