Choose the right medication based on your needs and preferences. Viagra offers a rapid onset (30-60 minutes), ideal for spontaneous intimacy. Its effects typically last 4-5 hours. Cialis, known for its longer duration (up to 36 hours), provides more flexibility, allowing for intimacy whenever desired within that timeframe. Levitra provides a balance, with a slightly faster onset than Cialis (60 minutes) and a duration of 4-5 hours, similar to Viagra.
