Viagra. Viagra pill.
There is much about Viagra as a men’s issue.
But it is more than that. Viagra is about couples. It is about
family relationships. It is about maintaining those all important
relationships between man and wife.
Viagra is prescribed in cases of male erectile
dysfunction. That is fine as long as people are willing to acknowledge
that they have a problem. And it is also fine if you live in a
place where you can buy Viagra without someone blabbing about
what you are doing.
You really have to think long and hard whether
you want to let people know about your intimate life. You know
that eviI-wishers are always around to spread rumors. And these
two facts stop many men from even getting an examination in order
to get a prescription for Viagra to see if they can use Viagra
to get the family sex life back on track.
In other cases, many people have found that Viagra
and Cialis improve an already good sex life. They use the Viagra
and Cialis as performance enhancers. They like the benefits that
result.
In any case, using Viagra starts with a physical.
And you should have one before you use Viagra, Cialis or Levitra.
So get a physical if one of you are contemplating using one of
these drugs.
What Happens When a Man First Takes a Viagra Pill?
Absolutely
nothing. Pfizer Inc., the maker of Viagra, long has said the drug
isn't an aphrodisiac, but many men who take it still expect to
feel something.
They don't. Among several men interviewed who
have used the drug, not one of them experienced any feeling or
sensation after taking the pill. The nothingness is so intense
that the most common reaction is a slight panic that the drug
isn't going to work.
"That was my worst fear, that it wasn't
going to do anything," says Steve Brykman of Los Angeles,
who tried Viagra once nine months ago, when he believed job and
financial stresses were interfering with his sex life. After taking
the pill, "there was nothing at all," says Mr. Brykman,
33 years old. "I just felt completely normal."
Though you may not feel anything, things are
happening in the body. As the pill moves into the bloodstream,
it starts to block an enzyme called PDE-5. Blocking the enzyme
eventually increases blood flow to areas where PDE-5 is most heavily
concentrated -- the penis, nose and skin. Diminished blood flow
to the penis is the cause of most erectile-dysfunction problems.
Do the New Erectile Dysfunction Drugs Work as Well as Viagra?
Two new drugs, Levitra, from
Bayer AG and GlaxoSmithKline PLC, and Cialis,
from Eli Lilly & Co. They work the same way as Viagra, blocking
the same enzyme. Though it's unlikely any one works better than
Viagra overall, slight chemical differences mean that if one brand
doesn't work for a patient, another one might.
