How Viagra Works. Everyone Should Know.

[Vagin]

How Does Viagra Work: Sildenafil does not give people a sex drive. If people don’t feel in the mood it will not work. The purpose of viagra is to induce an erection. That is it’s only purpose. It works like this: When people are sexually stimulated, either visually, or because they feel like they want to have sex, a message is sent from the brain and nitric oxide is produced in the blood vessels of the penis. This then induces a molecule called cyclic Guanasine Monophosphate, and it is this which causes the muscles of the penis to relax so that blood flows into it causing an erection. However, the problem is that in the penis there is also an enzyme called Phosphodiesterase Type 5 that has the opposite effect. It stops an erection, and its purpose is to ensure that after sex an erection goes down. Some people can have too much of this enzyme: people who suffer impotence, illness, diabetes, because they are too drunk, or for other reasons. Too much of this enzyme Phosphodiesterase Type 5 (that stops an erection) can inhibit the Cyclic Guanasine Monophosphate (that causes an erection) from working properly. There is an imbalance. This is why Sildenafil (Viagra) can be useful because it reduces the enzyme Phosphdiestarese Type 5 (that stops an erection) thus improving the balance in favour of Cyclic Guanasine Monophosphate (that causes the erection). Got that?

Viagra does not increase blood pressure as some people think. In fact it does the opposite and lowers blood pressure. This is because it allows the blood vessels to dilate slightly. When people suffer heart attacks or strokes after taking viagra and having sex, statistically, it has tended to be elderly or very unfit people who have had them - people who have previously led sedentary lifestyles. With Viagra they think they are twenty again. It is the untrained sudden physical exercise, which puts a strain on the heart and dramatically increases the blood pressure that does it – not the viagra itself.

Thailand related??

Sounds much the same as a nitrous oxide injection kit for boosting a car's engind power - can I rig myself up like I did with the old rover V8 ??

Interesting topic, but there is a health and medicine section of the forum. Bound to elicit posts on more conventional and Thai related methods to boost sexual behaviour...

I think it opens up blood vessels to the penis that have been closed off by arterial plaque, and whatever else clogs things up down there.

Moving this to the health forum.

It is also know to have an effect on the eyes, causing floaters. Although reported in a small percentage of cases.

Doesn't increase blood pressure ?

Certainly increases my body temperature.

I know 'cause my wife told me a few weeks back that I was 'hot tonight' - ###### shame she was talking about my temperature.

I won't be touching that stuff again until her next birthday...

It's part of the flushing Pedro, your blod goes to the surface of your skin causing it to appear flushing and hot ...

Viagra only works for a small group of men who have circulation problems about 20%. Yes it does open up the blood flow in the groin. The rest of the 80% it is just a suggestion it will work. Other than that the 80% get no benefit from it because their blood flow is fine, the problem is in their head. Smokers need it more because smoking causes impotence by doing damage to the blood vessels.

I suggest you get a new source of information mr. K.

Your hypno quackery has been done before here try a search on DavidCharles.

Many of my customers are young guys who like to have a reserve for those nights they've had too much to drink and the little fellas a bit reluctant to perform.

They allswear by the stuff!

My point was not when you are drunk. If I can find the link I will post it. It forget what medical journal I saw it in. drinking effects the brain, and that is your primary sex organ. If your brain is not working well the rest of the body is the same. I don't doubt what you are saying about it working if you have been out drinking. It probably compensates for what the drinking is doing.

Any comment I make (repeat) is from published studies I have read. I don’t make this stuff up. If you have issue with it please talk to the Doctors that made the original study. Please Don’t shoot the messenger.

Just some food for thought, If drinking effects the brain or mind, and viagra effects the blood flow to the groin, why is it that viagra seems to effect the mind after drinking. The little guy is not drunk is he? Is increased blood flowing to the mind, Or is it some sort of suggestion. However I could be wrong.

sorry edit did not work well with a slow connection

I can compliment you for referring to yourself as "it".... very insightful.

Now, if you want to consider yourself a professional, can you not shoot off your mouth with absolute falsehoods.

Viagra has been one of the most thoroughly tested drugs ever. Every legimate study of the drug has shown effectiveness rates in the 70-85% rate. Because it IS so highly effective, it's popularity is world reknown.

Also, I would expect you to put down the drug and post lies about it's chemical effectiveness as that cuts into your business...

So, for a "messenger", I'd prefer someone with a less vested interest towards bias.... when you can be impartial, then you can become the "messenger"

That also goes for most of everything else you try to sell here on thaivisa... Depression (you put down Prozac)... Erectile dysfunction (you put down Viagra)... and on and on and on...

With such a huckster mentality, we can do without your so-called assistance... thank you very much.

I want to thank John S for being so helpful, The more he talks the more people look. As for Viagra, Note: The the young guys don't need viagra, They are taking it for the side effect (do not drink when taking viagra) All I said was it only works for 20%. the 20% that need it drunk or not that can't get it up. People seem to forget what it is for. However people will experiment. Who ever drives the speed limit anyway? And yes if you are wondering I am at a Internet cafe for the moment. I wonder what the long term effects will be for using viagra when you don't need it. I guess they will know more in another 5 to 10 years on that one.
