Are you over 50 and having a hard time pleasing your wife, partner, girlfriend, boyfriend, or sexual partners? Do you often wonder why it’s hard to get an erection, even when you’re with someone you’re extremely attracted to? Do you worry that something is wrong 
with you, or that you are somehow less of a man? Don’t worry, because nothing is wrong with you. It’s likely that you have a simple condition known commonly as ED, or erectile dysfunction.
There are many conditions and lifestyle factors that can contribute to ED. For instance, men over 50 may be more at risk than men over 40. Abuse of substances such as cocaine, heroin, methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA; Ecstasy, E, X), methamphetamine (Meth), phencyclidine hydrochloride (PCP), gamma-hydroxybutyric acid (GHB), lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), marijuana, and others, as well as alcohol and tobacco, can contribute to the development of ED. Of course, neurological and psychological conditions can be causes of ED, such as schizophrenia, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, stress, and social anxiety.
Like all phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors, Viagra works by blocking normal PDE5 action that can degrade guanosine monophosphate (cGMP). Sometimes men on antidepressants can develop sexual dysfunction, and Viagra can treat that as well. It can also treat pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), helping reduce workload of the right ventricle and high-altitude pulmonary edema, associated with altitude sickness. Studies also suggest that Viagra can aide in the recovery of jet lag in hamsters, winning Patricia Agostino, Santiago Plano, and Diego Golombek the Ig Nobel Prize in Aviation in 2007.
Viagra is also highly used by illegal drug users, who often mix it with MDMA, opiates such as heroin, or other stimulants in order to engage in illegal substance abuse without the risk of erectile dysfunction.
There are reasons to withhold the use of Viagra, however. For instance, people taking nitric oxide, organic nitrates, glyceryl trinitrate, sodium nitroprusside, and amyl nitrite (poppers), using Viagra is ill-advised. For men that are at risk of cardiovascular risk and are cautioned to avoid sexual intercourse, Viagra is not recommended. People with hepatic impairment (decreased liver function), impaired renal function, hypotension, stroke or heart attack victims, and those suffering from hereditary degenerative disorders, such as genetic disorders of retinal phosphodiesterases are not advised to take Viagra because of these conditions, as it can adversely affect their health.
Adverse effects of Viagra are comparable to those of all other PDE5 inhibitors, but the more serious side effects can be worse, including priapism (inability of the penis, or clitoris for women, to return to its natural flaccid state), hypotension, myocardial infarction (heart attack), ventricular arrhythmias, stroke, increased intraocular pressure, and sudden loss of hearing. These are, of course, rare.
With the limited side-effects, versatility of its application, and the effectiveness of its PDE5 inhibition, saving your erectile health is easy with Viagra. Nevermore do you have to worry about your manhood or your partner(s), and now you can look at her or his eyes with ease, knowing you can satisfy as needed.
