I am having troubles maintaining an erection during sex. would viagra (sildenafil) or cialis be good resolutions?

Yes: However, you should be examined for diabetes, peripheral vascular disease (especially if you smoke), high cholesterol or blood pressure problems. You also can never take these meds with nitrates.
