Medical Prescription Drugs: Viagra
This brand is now part of sexual folklore. No contraptions, gadgets, or additives. Just pop it beforehand and feel confident your Dick will perform as soon as he gets some sexual stimulation. The folklore itself adds to its effect even if the chemical properties of Viagra do not produce as strong an effect on your individual body as many would have you believe. Nonetheless, it’s the fastest selling drug in history.
Its founders at Pfizer Inc were actually investigating the application of sidenafil citrate on angina, the chest pain you get when arteries to the heart get blocked. It wasn’t working on the angina but the men taking part in the research started getting erections. They wanted more and more of them.
Viagra stays in your system for 4-5 hours and as long as you have some stimulation you should get a natural erection. Some men have reported getting erections 7-10 hours later. That’d be my luck, stiff as a board and the date’s already gone home.
Viagra and its relatives, (like who you may well ask, Aunty Viagra?), belong to a group medically termed PDE-5 inhibitors.
To explain how they work we’ll need to borrow some of the content in Step 5. You can jump to it now if you want because, as knowledge is power, you will get a boost from understanding how drugs actually work in your body.
For now let’s simplify so that you can carry on. On arousal, the brain causes the release of our favourite drug duo at your Dick’s level: Nitric Oxide which creates cGMP. Their end game is to cause penile tissue to relax allowing blood to rush in to lengthen and strengthen your Dick into an erection. What’s cGMP? It means cyclic guanosine monophosphate and it is an incredible substance which is naturally produced by the cells in the penile tissue in response to Nitric Oxide.
When high levels of cGMP are present, the penile tissue becomes relaxed and a natural and stiff erection will occur. Together with Nitric Oxide this chemical is our friendly agent who gets your Dick into a firm, excited stated.
As with most bodily functions we need a counter balancing force to regulate the friendly agent, otherwise your Dick would explode with all the excitement stirred up by the friendly agents. This balancing agent is called selective phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE-5 to you and me) which acts to counter the cGMP effect. PDE5 is released and regulated by cGMP levels in cells. All you need to know for now is that when these agents interact normally you get a normal erection.
If the balance between these interacting chemicals is not right and PDE-5 predominates, then you get negative forces on an erection. For a lot of men suffering from ED, the PDE-5 enzyme neutralizes any available cGMP and if PDE-5 wins the contest an erection will become flaccid or will not occur at all. Come to think of it, without the PDE-5 and constant stimulation your Dick could be permanently erect and always open for business. Like a 7-11 store?
That’s where PDE-5 inhibitors such as Viagra, Cialis, buy Levitra in Australia online and Stendra come in. These drugs •inhibit” or block the unwanted PDE-5 so that the useful cGMP is allowed to remain for a good while after sexual stimulation commences. Or, in party terms, if PDE-5 is your ED Party crasher, these drugs bounce him at the door and send Mr ED on a short holiday so that your Dick can get on with doing what he naturally likes doing. They are essentially your Dick’s party drugs!
