Sex pill ... Viagra

VIAGRA is to be made available over the counter without a prescription ? but how exactly will it help you in the bed

Here, Dr Mike Callander, chairman of the Primary Care Erectile Dysfunction Society, explains what happens if you pop a little blue pill.

AFTER FIVE MINUTES: You won’t feel the effect straight away. Wait for the drug to be absorbed into your bloodstream.

You may feel warmth and flushing of the face. This is because Viagra affects your blood flow and not just because you are excited about what is going on down there.

30 MINUTES: As the active ingredient in Viagra ? sildenafil citrate ? is absorbed, it disables an enzyme in the penis called PDE5. This frees up a chemical called cGMP, which is crucial for hot bedroom action.

30-60 MINUTES: Once the PDE enzymes have been disabled, levels of calcium within the penis muscle cells rise. This relaxes the muscle and increases blood flow.

And the better the blood flow, the better the erection. But only if the spirit is willing ? Viagra can’t do all the hard work for you. It won’t work if there isn’t any stimulation.

ONE TO THREE HOURS: Your body will be primed for an erection for about three hours so within that time, and with the right stimulation, an erection can be achieved.

But we are not talking about three-hour long erections. You will orgasm as normal, but may recover more quickly and, while your body is still primed, you can become aroused again.
