Viagra (Sildenafil) and the other components of its class – Levitra (Vardenafil) and Cialis (Tadalafil) – are drugs designed to facilitate male erection. They act on the blood vessels inside the penis, facilitating dilation, which causes more blood to remain in the corpora cavernosa (a kind of sponge inside the penis), leading to an erection. This class of drugs emerged to treat erection difficulties that can arise from 45, 50 years old. However, for some time now, there has been a kind of “fever” among young people to consume these drugs.
So let’s go to some explanations: first of all, medicine is medicine, it’s not candy. And, like all medicine, it must be prescribed by the doctor, given the correct indications. Every medication can have unwanted effects. And with Viagra it is no different. Headaches, facial flushing, nausea and visual changes are the most common effects. Secondly, the story that Viagra produces a super erection is a myth. The penis will not get bigger, nor will it generate incomparable pleasure. He will only have a complete erection similar to the one naturally produced by the body.
Young people are using Viagra because they want the penis to be erect for longer or to overcome the anxieties of those just starting out with sex. Easy there! It is true that the penis could recover for a “second round” more quickly. And also that any fears of failure would not hinder the erection so much. But there is a risk that the man will think that it only “works” with the medicine and that he will be able to have as many sexual relations as he wants, which is not true.
How about saving this type of medicine for the future, when you really feel like you need it? What’s more, young men who have difficulty getting an erection may benefit more from practice, experience, and eventually therapy than medication. Right?
