True Story: Viagra Jumpstart

Wednesday, August 27th, 2008

I am a healthy 24 year old male, up to this point never had any problems sexually. Well, after years of hard work, I got my dream girl- an insatiable crush since my teens. Unfortunately, the pressure to perform became too much initially for me to bear and I found myself not rising to the occasion as I would have liked or as I have in the past.

On the advice of a friend, I tried 50 mg Viagra (100 split in half) and WOW, incredible. I felt like a little pressure in my face, but all that went to the wayside after I climaxed 4 times throughout the night. She even had her first orgasm ever through intercourse! After using the other half, my anxiety is a thing of the past and I am now back to my old self. All I needed was Viagra to help me tell myself “you can do it.”

“Before I took part in the study I was heavily depressed. I was continually arguing with my wife and generally making life hell for her and my children…entering the study saved our family from much grief
… it probably saved my marriage and possibly my life.”

Since gaining its license in 1998, there have been over 10 million prescriptions worldwide for Viagra.

All of this from a medicine that started life as an angina treatment but had some unusual side effects.

What does Viagra do?

Wednesday, August 6th, 2008

Viagra improves erections by increasing vasodilation of the spongy tissue in the penis and the arteries that supply it with blood. It achieves this by inhibiting the PDE enzyme which breaks down the signalling molecule cGMP.

By preventing this break down, Viagra enhances the natural mechanism involved in achieving and maintaining an erection. This helps to treat sufferers of erectile dysfunction.

Patients take a tablet containing 25, 50 or 100mg of Viagra around an hour before intercourse.

All medicines have side effects and Viagra is no exception. Reported effects include headaches, hot flushes and indigestion. It should not be taken by people who are also using nitrate-medicines for heart conditions. Viagra, like other medications, must only be taken following the advice of a doctor.
