Let’s be honest, ED pills earned the nickname “boner pills” a long time ago, but that’s not exactly accurate. Some men worry that taking Sildenafil will cause a spontaneous erection, but that is not actually true. The active ingredient only makes it easier for blood to flow to your penis and remain there while erect. The keyword here is easier. So if you are not aroused, you will not get an unwanted erection. Arousal and increased blood flow work together to help you have a more complete sexual experience.
Life and health conditions can take a toll on your body. Aging is associated with increased health conditions, such as cardiovascular diseases and other age-related degenerative conditions. Stress increases your blood pressure and affects multiple body systems. As a result of the wear-and-tear of aging, the body gradually stops producing enough nitric oxide. This molecule is responsible for telling the body to release cGMP (cyclic guanosine monophosphate), which causes an increase in blood flow to the penis. Without getting overly technical, phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5) degrades cGMP. Sildenafil and other phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors (PDE5i) block PDE5 and restore the natural balance, remedying ED and making it easier to get and keep an erection.
Many men experience some form of erectile dysfunction for a variety of reasons. Stress and anxiety can definitely affect a man’s hard-ons, and trouble getting satisfying erections can become an important source of stress and anxiety. To escape the vicious cycle, Sildenafil can be taken before sex to relax you and your blood vessels, facilitating a higher blood flow to the penis.
But that’s not the only advantage. Performance anxiety is another factor that can negatively affect a man’s erections. With Sildenafil, you get a confidence boost from firmer erections, which relieves the pressure and makes sex more enjoyable.
If you’re feeling self-conscious about your performance, talk with our medical team AND your partner. Opening up is a good way to alleviate your stress and reassure your partner, who could interpret your ED symptoms as a lack of attraction. Just having that conversation can improve your sex life immensely.
