Viagra, the most popular and most well known impotence and
male sexual enhancement drug on the market, followed only
by Cialis and then Levitra, may have some unexpected, and
albeit welcome, side effects.
Researchers are saying that not only does Viagra
physiologically produce the effects it is meant to, that is
to increase blood flow to the penis to help men get an
erection, but it also may produce a more psychological
effect as well, putting men "in the mood" mentally for
intimacy, affection, and love. In other words, this may be
the drug that is every woman's dream!
Although Viagra has been plagued with some negative press
about side effects that are unwelcome (what "wonder drug"
isn't), it still continues to be one of the best selling
drugs ever, and almost immediately became a household name
after it's patenting and launch to the public in 1996.
Sildenafil, which is the drug's pharmaceutical name, gained
almost instant notoriety, and was even featured in a
commercial with former presidential candidate Bob Dole.
Viagra became the punchline of jokes on late night shows
like Jay Leno and David Letterman, and was the subject of
much excitement, and still is today, as an apparent cure
for male impotence and other virility issues such as
premature ejaculation. The drug started off in the lab as
a test drug for patients with heart problems, specifically
angina, which is marked by chest pain.
Although the drug did not have any significant impact on
these patients, a noticed side effect of the drug was that
it produce erections in many of it's subjects. And the
rest is history, hence Viagra was born and became a
best-selling drug for ten years and counting.
Now onto the unexpected side effect. Recently, it was
discovered that not only did men experience increased
erections from taking Viagra, and an improvement in their
impotence symptoms and inability to maintain a full
erection, but they also experienced more of a mental
stimulation when it came to getting in the mood for love.
I'm sure Pfizer, the drug company that has put out Viagra,
is beside themself with delight, as yet another benefit is
realized from their already blockbuster drug.
The drug apparently increases the feelings associated with
love and affection by boosting levels of a hormone that is
associated with feelings of intimacy and closeness leading
to sexual arousal. This hormone is called oxytocin, and
you may have heard of it for another reason.
Oxytocin is a hormone which acts as a neurotransmitter to
the brain, that occurs in both men and women, and is
secreted when one feels "lovey dovey" and in the mood to
snuggle with their partner.
In fact, pregnant women who are in their last trimester and
ready to have their baby are encouraged to have sex, since
the release of oxytocin, which occurs during orgasm and
also during sexual arousal, is supposed to help bring on
contractions and lead to a sooner birth at the end of a
pregnancy.
The bottom line as it relates to the unexpected and
pleasant side effect of Viagra for both the man and his
partner, is that this stimulation of the part of the brain
that produces oxytocin, definitely enhances the bonding
experience of sex, and the feelings of security and
closeness that is experienced between partners during
sexual union.
This news is undoubtedly welcome to Viagra users, as well
as to the maker of the drug, who probably didn't imagine
that it would have anything other than a purely utility
effect on the men that took it.
It also opens the door to other possible uses for the
erectily dysfunction drug, but that has yet to be
determined, as it is not yet clear how this release of
oxytocin can help other bodily functions or be a part of
some other type of therapeutic treatment. At any rate, it
certainly is a nice additional benefit for men taking
Viagra!
