The topic of men’s sexual health has often remained a taboo subject. When it comes to underperforming or arousal difficulties, it is quite common for men to feel embarrassed, “broken” or like something is wrong with them. Once men realize that erectile dysfunction is much more common than it is talked about, it becomes possible for both men and women to explore options for how to keep the intimacy alive within sexual relationships. There are many medications available for men that can help improve or enhance sexual arousal, desire, and performance. Viagra is the most common pharmaceutical name that comes up when discussing erectile dysfunction, and it is because it has 20 years of clinical experience and paved the way for various generic erectile dysfunction medications. In fact, the term “Viagra” has become synonymous with the generic name for any medication used to treat ED, much like “Kleenex” has become synonymous for the word “tissue.”

Much like any other medication, Viagra is a medication that must be discussed with a medical professional before taking. It can interact with various medications, such as blood pressure medications or medications containing Nitrates. According to the FAQ’s page on Viagra’s website, they even advise disclosing vitamins and over the counter medications you are currently taking with your doctor in case they could interact with the medication or cause side effects. Another reason you must be prescribed medication by your doctor is because it is possible you could be experiencing Erectile Dysfunction from a different medication you are taking, a lifestyle change, or you could have an underlying problem. According to Viagra’s website, 25 million men have had the “Viagra talk” with their doctors, and around 80% said they experienced immediate relief after talking with their doctors. Viagra is also one of the most counterfeited drugs in the world, so it is very important to get your prescription from a medical professional so you can avoid being duped or harmed by any knock off brands or “herbal” remedies that you can purchase online without a prescription.

Viagra in Greece works by increasing blood flow to the penis, but can only work if you are sexually stimulated. Much like there should be no shame in taking medication for erectile dysfunction, there should also be no shame in communicating with your partner on if you are not feeling sexually aroused or stimulated. In order for both parties to feel they’ve had successful intercourse, communication is key to making sure that both partners are properly stimulated so that the Viagra can work to the best of its abilities. This can also help sexual partners to open up about what helps them feel stimulated and aroused. When one partner opens up about sexual difficulties they have experienced, this can help others feel as though they are safe to open up to, and get a conversation started about how to improve their habits in bed.
