What Are The Real Risks Taking A Viagra?

Some of my friends are taking Viagra before they go out partying and I have to admit I’m kind of curious what it would be like. I know it’s not 100% safe but what are the real risks? Don’t tell me that it’s that 4 hour erection.

- Steve, Ontario

Four hour erections aren’t all too common, but they are possible. The idea is joked about and sounds like something you could easily find a way to manage, but the reality of the issue (called priaprism) is that it’s caused by the inability of blood to leave the penis via the usual venous drainage system. That can damage the penis and cause great difficulties in getting/maintaining erections for extended periods of time, if not permanently. No man wants scars inside his penis.

In any case, my real concern with recreational use of Viagra is twofold: First, Viagra can be covering a larger issue when males self-diagnose. Night after night of drinking, smoking, or lack of sleep may lead to erectile dysfunction and when males are popping Viagra left and right, they may not know that they have an issue that needs medical attention. The same goes for any other underlying condition such as high blood pressure or diabetes.

Secondly, you have to consider the dependency involved. Say that you’re just in the beginning of the development of your sex life and you start using Viagra and have positive results not just with your erection, but with the sexual experience in general. So the next time you repeat the formula to get the same results. Then the same the next time, the next time, the next time, etc. Now you’ve associated the need for Viagra with having good sex, so it’s now an issue of psychological dependence. It’s not an addiction, but it’s serious nevertheless.

So really, due to the physical and psychological risks, if you have no physical reason to medicate in order to achieve proper function, there is no need to dabble in taking Viagra or any other drug. Especially if it’s just for curiosity’s sake.
