How Can Vardenafil (VAR) Enhance Your Sex Life?

Vardenafil, the active ingredient in the popular erection-enhancing medication Levitra, has skyrocketed in popularity for a reason.

From significantly harder erections and better orgasms to even enhancing your partner's sexual desire and arousal, vardenafil can make quite an impact on your sex life. Two of BlueChew's compounded medications contain the active ingredient vardenafil: VAR and VMAX.

In this article, we'll explore the sexual health benefits of vardenafil for you and your partner and how it can even boost your relationship.

• The active ingredient vardenafil may significantly improve erections, orgasms, and overall sexual satisfaction.
• It enhances blood flow to the penis by inhibiting PDE5, leading to harder and longer-lasting erections.
• In one study, men taking vardenafil also reported more control over when they finished and less distress about it.
• For partners, vardenafil may increase sexual desire, arousal, and the intensity of orgasms.
• BlueChew's VAR may contribute to improving relationship satisfaction and overall well-being.

Vardenafil, the active ingredient in the drug Levitra, belongs to the class of medications known as phosphodiesterase 5 inhibitors (PDE5i). Vardenafil is also the active ingredient in BlueChew's VAR and VMAX. It's been a go-to for enhancing erections for over two decades.

VAR and VMAX are compounded medications. They've been specifically formulated as a sublingual tablet for people looking for an alternative to swallowing pills. VAR contains 8 mg vardenafil and lasts about 4–6 hours.

Just place a tablet under your tongue 15–30 minutes before sexual activity, let it dissolve, and let it do its thing. No need for water, doctor visits, or swallowing clunky pills. Just simple and affordable erectile dysfunction medication on your terms.

VAR works by increasing blood flow to the penis thanks to its ability to inhibit the enzyme phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5). When you're aroused, your body releases nitric oxide (NO), which raises levels of a molecule called cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP). cGMP relaxes and widens the blood vessels, especially where it counts. PDE5 normally breaks cGMP down; by blocking it, vardenafil keeps those blood vessels relaxed longer.

This increased blood flow to the penis during sexual stimulation can help a man get an erection more easily. It's the key step in how erections happen.

Overall, this means harder, longer-lasting erections during sexual activity.

Vardenafil helps treat male sexual function problems by improving blood flow to the penis, which results in a slew of additional sexual health benefits for you. We'll check out some of the most significant sex benefits you can expect from taking VAR.

Improved Erections

The verdict is in: the blood flow-enhancing properties of vardenafil can significantly boost erections for most patients. According to research on the topic, the active ingredient vardenafil enhanced patients' satisfaction with erectile hardness, penetration, and erection maintenance.

Additionally, research has demonstrated that erection hardness substantially increased after vardenafil treatment, as measured by patients' hardness satisfaction ratings, jumping from 43% at week 4 to 63% at week 12. That's certainly something to get excited about.

With VAR, erection troubles can become a lot less of a worry.

More Control Over When You Finish

Let's face it: sometimes, controlling when you finish can feel like trying to hold back a tidal wave. It can leave you feeling insecure and unsatisfied.

Research found that men who took vardenafil for 16 weeks reported better control over when they finished, along with higher sexual satisfaction and lower distress scores. In other words, it helped them feel more confident and less stressed about their performance.

One caveat: PDE5 inhibitors like vardenafil aren't designed to delay ejaculation, and results vary. If finishing too quickly is your main concern, talk to your provider about your options.

Enhanced Orgasms

Have you ever finished and still not felt satisfied?

Fortunately, vardenafil's erection-enhancing properties can lead to better, more satisfying orgasms. Research has shown that the active ingredient vardenafil can improve pleasure, sexual desire, and ease of sexual activity, resulting in better orgasms, more satisfaction with orgasms, and an easier time reaching orgasm.

So not only will you be harder, but you may also experience more intense and gratifying climaxes. It's like leveling up your entire sexual experience!

Reinvigorated Confidence and Self-Esteem

Enhanced orgasms and harder erections sound like a dream come true. It's no surprise that patients report a significant boost in confidence and self-esteem, both in and out of the bedroom, thanks to vardenafil.

A study on the effects of 12 weeks of vardenafil found that, compared to a placebo, patients using vardenafil reported significant improvements in their self-confidence and reductions in symptoms of depression. In other words, vardenafil didn't just improve erections; it improved their overall mood and confidence. Another study found that 12 weeks of vardenafil treatment led to significant improvements in self-esteem and confidence across the board.

Whether impressing your partner in the bedroom or feeling more assured in everyday life, VAR may help you bring your A-game. It can also take the edge off performance anxiety.

Improved Sexual Satisfaction

We all want to feel satisfied with our sex life, and VAR has you covered on this front.

Research has shown that patients taking the active ingredient vardenafil report improved sex life satisfaction across a variety of domains, including erectile function, erection hardness, orgasms, intercourse, and overall sexual experiences.

That's a lot of satisfied patients. Whether it's nailing the perfect erection or having an unforgettable orgasm, VAR may help you hit all the right notes.

You might be too busy reveling in the sex benefits you're experiencing to realize how this medication impacts your partner's sex life. And who could blame you?

Thankfully, researchers have looked into this and found some pretty impressive benefits for the partners of patients taking vardenafil.

Not only are you ramping up your sex life, but your partner is also reaping the rewards.

We'll dive into this research below and explore the benefits female partners experienced when their man was using vardenafil.

Improved Sexual Desire

When you're performing at your best, it's natural for your partner's sexual desire to ramp up, too. Seeing you in action can be a major turn-on, leading to a more passionate and engaged partner.

A study of the active ingredient vardenafil vs. placebo in 229 couples found that female partners experienced increased sexual desire compared to before the study.

Women in the study wanted to have sex with their partners more often, meaning your improved performance can make her want you even more.

Increased Arousal

When you're delivering harder, longer-lasting erections, your partner's arousal can go through the roof. It's all about creating a feedback loop of pleasure and excitement for both of you.

Women in this study reported increases in sexual arousal and lubrication when having sex with their partners on vardenafil.

These benefits can leave her feeling more excited about your next sexual encounter and wanting more.

Enhanced Orgasms for Your Partner

Partners of patients taking vardenafil have reported more intense and satisfying orgasms.

Research found that female partners had improved orgasms compared to before their partner started treatment.

It's a win-win where both of you enjoy heightened pleasure. With vardenafil, you benefit from better performance, and your partner experiences more fulfilling and enjoyable intimate moments.

Beyond the sex benefits of vardenafil, what may be even more exciting is how better sex can spill over into your relationship.

Relationship satisfaction has actually been shown to be one of the key elements affecting your overall life satisfaction.

Below, we'll dive into some of the research on how better sex can lead to a more satisfying relationship, enhance your overall well-being, and reignite your emotional connection with your partner.

Improve Relationship Satisfaction

Did you know that sex is a crucial factor in relationship satisfaction?

A 2023 study on what matters in relationships found that sexual satisfaction is the main predictor of relationship satisfaction for both men and women. In other words, if you're enjoying your time between the sheets with your partner, you're likely feeling fulfilled in the relationship as a whole.

Interestingly, the type of sexual activity you have also plays a role in how happy you feel in your relationship. An extensive 2010 review on the health benefits of sex found that more frequent penile-vaginal intercourse is linked to greater relationship satisfaction.

With VAR helping you perform better, you're not just boosting your sex life; you may be enhancing the overall quality of your relationship. And if you haven't talked with your partner about ED yet, there are easy ways to bring it up without hurting the mood.

Enhance Overall Well-Being

You might be surprised to find out that your overall well-being may have quite a bit to do with sex and relationship satisfaction.

People who report higher relationship satisfaction have been shown to have lower stress levels and better immune function, which ultimately contributes to better physical health.

Additionally, an extensive review found that more frequent intercourse was linked to lower blood pressure, better psychological functioning, fewer depressive symptoms, improved parasympathetic tone (more time spent in the body's "rest and recover" mode), and better recovery from stress, among other health benefits.

It's pretty impressive that better sex may go hand in hand with a happier relationship and better health. Talk about covering all your bases.

Reignite Emotional Connection

If you and your partner have been struggling to maintain your emotional connection, VAR may help reignite those feelings by improving your sex life.

During sex, certain hormones are released that can intensify and deepen your emotional connection, including oxytocin, endorphins, and dopamine.

Oxytocin, the "love hormone," is released, promoting bonding, trust, and a deeper emotional connection between partners, while endorphins lead to feelings of pleasure and euphoria, enhancing emotional closeness.

Combined, these effects can have you and your partner feeling like you're falling in love all over again.

Vardenafil, offered as a convenient sublingual tablet, VAR, through BlueChew, can seriously level up your sex life.

From harder, longer-lasting erections to more satisfying orgasms, this little sublingual tablet has you covered.

Your partner can reap the benefits too, with increased sexual desire and arousal, leading to a more passionate and connected relationship.

By boosting your sexual satisfaction, VAR may also improve your overall well-being and emotional connection with your partner. Curious how it compares to other options? See vardenafil vs. sildenafil, or VMAX, which pairs vardenafil with tadalafil for up to 36 hours.

What is vardenafil?

Vardenafil is a popular medication used to treat male erectile dysfunction. It's the active ingredient in the erection-enhancing medication Levitra. The vardenafil offered by BlueChew comes in a convenient sublingual tablet called VAR, which contains 8 mg vardenafil.

Vardenafil is a type of medication known as a phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor. In combination with sexual stimulation, these medications work by increasing blood flow to the penis, which can lead to enhanced erections.

This medication doesn't protect you from sexually transmitted infections, so be sure to practice safe sex even if you're taking vardenafil.

What are the potential side effects of VAR?

VAR tablets offered by BlueChew contain a prescription medication and, therefore, carry the risk of some side effects. Common side effects include headache, flushing, and a stuffy nose. Rare but serious side effects include:

• Sudden decrease in hearing
• Sudden loss of vision
• Chest pain
• Low blood pressure
• Irregular heartbeat
• An erection lasting more than 4 hours

It's also possible to have an allergic reaction to the ingredients in VAR. If you experience any serious symptoms, seek emergency medical help.

Never take VAR with nitrates for chest pain, "poppers" (amyl nitrite), or guanylate cyclase stimulators, because the combination can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure. VAR can also interact with other medications, so tell your provider about everything you take, and don't take VAR with recreational drugs. For the full list, see our guide to BlueChew side effects.

What questions should I ask my doctor before using VAR?

Before using VAR, ask your doctor about potential interactions with your current medications. Also discuss your overall health, including any history of heart disease, high cholesterol, or prostate problems. If you experience side effects with vardenafil, a different erection-enhancing medication offered by BlueChew may be a better fit.

How should I use VAR sublingual tablets?

Take VAR sublingual tablets as prescribed. Place one tablet under your tongue and let it dissolve, 15–30 minutes before sexual activity. VAR typically starts working within 15–30 minutes and lasts about 4–6 hours.
