Brief summary: This study compares LY2452473 taken orally as a 5 milligram (mg) capsule at the same time as a 5 mg tadalafil tablet with three different combination tablets (LY900010) of 5 mg LY2452473 and 5 mg tadalafil taken orally. The study will evaluate the amount of LY2452473 and tadalafil circulating in the blood for each treatment. Side effects will be documented. This study is approximately 34 days not including screening.

* Normal blood pressure and heart rate (HR; sitting) as determined by the investigator
* Have venous access sufficient to allow blood sampling
* Are reliable and willing to make themselves available for the duration of the study, and will abide by the research unit policies and procedures and study restrictions
* Have given written informed consent approved by Lilly and the ethical review board (ERB) governing the site
* Men must agree to use a reliable method of birth control (for example, vasectomy, condom with contraceptive foam, abstinence, or female partner's use of oral contraceptives or Norplant®; a reliable barrier method of birth control \[diaphragm with contraceptive jelly\]; or intrauterine device), during the study and for 1 month following the last dose of study drug
