This year South African men have been taking notice of their sexual health for the first time in decades. We as men have a horrible habit of not taking care of ourselves. We work our fingers to the bone, spend hours of the day taking care of other people’s needs and trying to keep our women happy. When we finally get stricken with some kind of ailment we do the typical man thing and ignore it until it goes away on its own. In terms of our sexual health, millions of us know first hand that those problems don’t go away. In fact, some of us realize that it only gets worse.
This year over 7 million men worldwide will have a run in with erectile dysfunction, and less than a quarter of those men will bother looking into a cure for their issues. Many guys seem to think that sex is something that just fades as they get older. Unless you are 75 years or older this is not true. Men remain sexually vigorous well into their sixties and can still produce healthy sperm and father children. If you are experiencing symptoms of erectile dysfunction and you are younger than 75, then you need to seek assistance.
As a man, I understand the apprehension.
Who really wants to sit down and admit to their doctor let alone partner that they are having a problem in their nether regions? No one realistically. So what do we do and get the help that we need?
Well, today I am going to offer you a bit of a solution and its name is Viagra. Now Viagra is one of the most traditional forms of treatment for men who are suffering from erectile dysfunction. It’s also one of the easiest medications to get since it has become so mainstream. Having said that there are a few misconceptions that a lot of guys have about Viagra that I will clear up.
One of the biggest misconceptions about Viagra is that it forces men to have an erection for hours and that’s it. This is absolutely false as Viagra simply doesn’t work that way. Viagra is simply a medication that relaxes the blood vessels and grants men the ability to gain an erection naturally. That means you and your partner can go at your own pace and enjoy yourselves. Another popular misconception is that Viagra just doesn’t work and is a placebo. This is also false. In fact, Viagra has an 85% success rate in clinical trials. Keep in mind that was back before the medication hit the market. After 10 plus years the formula has only been improved.
Side effects
Of course like any drug, Viagra does have a small list of side effects that you should be aware of. The most common being an upset stomach, stuffy or a runny nose, and a headache. It’s also important to note that since Viagra works by manipulating the blood vessels, that those that are diagnosed with high blood pressure actually seek a medical professional’s opinion on whether or not they are healthy enough to engage in sexual activity. Those that don’t have any blood pressure issues can actually pick up Viagra without a prescription which is great for those that want to remain anonymous.
Regardless of your reasons, I’d highly recommend you pick yourself up a pack of Viagra. You will undoubtedly be surprised by the long lasting and strong effects. The cost is pretty cheap and the quantity is high.
