Viagra story: Worth Three Times the Cost

Saturday, June 28th, 2008

Amazing result, you don’t know how happy I am. Viagra changed my life. No anxiety about erection. This also solved premature ejaculation. After trying Viagra, even if they sold it at three times the price, I would still buy it. Those who didn’t try Viagra and passed away from this world are very unlucky! I am also a little unlucky, I wish I had try Viagra 3  years earlier. -  Vladimir, Russia, Age 54

Getting More Bang for Your Buck

Monday, June 16th, 2008

When I use Viagra the effects often last for up to several hours, sometimes after I’ve left my date’s apartment for the evening. If I’m seeing more than one woman, would it be tacky to then go have sex with another woman while I’m under the effects of the same Viagra pill? It seems a shame to let multiple erections go to waste.

If you have the social adroitness, speed, and stamina to handle such a maneuver, and if you and the lady are in agreement that the evening’s activities are over, Miss Everhard sees no reason to dissuade you from gathering nectar at the next flower. However, be aware that meeting two sexual assignations in the same evening without leaving either party feeling slighted requires some planning and discretion on your part. This is really no different than if you had a naturally high libido and needed sex several times a day with multiple partners to satisfy yourself; introducing Viagra and its window of opportunity into the equation gives you no excuse to behave like a cad. Even if both women are aware of the arrangement, basic consideration and courtesy should be observed. Let the first woman know ahead of time that you are only available for a quickie, and tell her when you need to take your leave so she doesn’t feel like you’re running out on her. You should also allow some time in between dates to shower and change clothes, since your second lady friend would probably not appreciate the scent of another woman on you. And neither woman needs to be reminded that they are not the only beneficiary of your Viagra-enhanced attentions that evening.

Viagra ‘aids muscular dystrophy’

Saturday, June 7th, 2008

The anti-impotence drug Viagra may help save people with muscular dystrophy from an early death, a study suggests.

Researchers found the way the drug works to combat impotence may also help ward off heart failure in muscular dystrophy patients.

Tests on mice with a version of the disease showed the drug helped keep their hearts working well.

The Montreal Heart Institute study appears in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

Muscular dystrophy is a genetic condition causing wasting of the muscles.

The first signs of muscular weakness appear at roughly age five, leading to a progressive loss in the ability to walk by the age of 13.

People with the condition are also at a higher risk of heart failure due to a weakening of the muscles which keep the organ pumping strongly.

For this reason, many people with Duchenne muscular dystrophy - the most common form of the condition - die in early life, often in their 20s or 30s.

Blood flow

The Montreal team found that Viagra - known technically as sildenafil - prevents the loss of a molecule, cGMP, which plays a key role in keeping blood vessels dilated.

In the penis, this increases blood flow, and helps to combat impotence.

But in the heart it helps to ensure the organ itself receives a proper supply of blood, and remains healthy and strong.

With the heart in a strong condition, it is more able to withstand the impact of weakening muscle cells caused by muscular dystrophy.

Viagra works by blocking an enzyme, PDE5, which breaks down cGMP.

Professor Jean-Claude Tardif, director of the Montreal Heart Institute Research Centre, said: “These experimental results give us hope that one day it will be possible to treat with this approach cardiac problems in patients with muscular dystrophy, and perhaps even treat other heart diseases.”

The researchers also inserted a gene that increased cGMP production in the mice’s heart cells, and found that this helped the animals to maintain normal cardiac function.

Dr Marita Pohlschmidt, director of research at the Muscular Dystrophy Campaign, said the research was interesting.

However, she added: “It is important to remember that benefits seen in animals do not always translate into human medicine.

“Although this is promising, it is still very early days and we look forward to further research that will demonstrate the impact it might have for people with muscular dystrophy.”
