«Viagra won’t make you young and strong again,» as Dr. Mulcahy sates. «If you’re in your 40’s, and are able to maintain a good erection and have a sexual intercourse, there’s no reason for you to buy Viagra.»

Some patients believe that Viagra will make them even better in bed and increase their sexual drive. The both statements are incorrect. It is not an aphrodisiac — it’s an erectile dysfunction medication.

«An aged man who can’t ejaculate every time he has an erection is not impotent» says Dr. Mulcahy. And Viagra was not proven to help recover more quickly or allow men to ejaculate more than they were able before.

The doctor states that Viagra will only help in maintaining a durable erection in case you are experiencing problems with short-lasting erections. So don’t expect to have an erection lasting for hours and hours if you’ve had significant problems before.

And don’t expect to have an erection instantly after taking the pill. Erection is all about sexual stimulation, Viagra will only help make it last longer. So it’s recommended that you or your partner stimulate the penis to enjoy the effects of Viagra before intercourse.

Nor will you experience priapism — a condition when the erection won’t go away even after ejaculation occurs. Although, there are rare cases of priapism when taking Viagra, and the package now has a corresponding warning label.
