While Viagra (Sildenafil) is an effective treatment for maintaining an erection, no scientific evidence exists to suggest it can help a man avoid premature ejaculation. This is when ejaculation occurs sooner than the man would like during sexual intercourse. For some men, erectile dysfunction contributes to premature ejaculation.

How does Viagra (Sildenafil) work?

Viagra (Sildenafil) is considered a PDE5 inhibitor. This is a type of drug that relaxes muscle cells within the body's blood vessels. With Viagra (Sildenafil), blood vessels located in the penis are relaxed to allow more blood to flow through, resulting in a more consistent erection.

This is an FDA-approved medication designed for men with erectile dysfunction. A doctor must prescribe it, and it can only be given to men who are at least 18 years old.

Viagra (Sildenafil) doesn't automatically give the individual an erection. Sexual stimulation and arousal is still necessary for an erection to form.

How can Viagra (Sildenafil) improve my sex life?

A litany of factors outside a man's control can contribute to ED. Stress, depression, and other medical issues, such as heart disease, can lead to difficulty maintaining erections.

Your doctor may want to address any underlying issues contributing to ED. However, Viagra (Sildenafil) can still be prescribed. In some cases, by being able to maintain an erection, the man can eliminate some of the stress in his life just with that alone.

By taking Viagra (Sildenafil), a man can maintain an erection for about 4 hours and take advantage of a host of other benefits associated with the medication.

  • Greater self-confidence
  • Ability to have sex more often
  • Improved connection with partner

Does it increase my sexual stamina?

While Viagra (Sildenafil) helps men maintain erections, it's not proven to be an effective treatment for premature ejaculation. Some men may notice they're able to last longer in bed, but that's a bonus, not a standard side effect.

What most men can expect is that Viagra (Sildenafil) can make your erection more consistent. It helps you continue sexual intercourse longer without stopping. Some other benefits to expect include:

  • Enhanced sexual experience for both you and your partner
  • Shorter recovery period between sexual sessions
  • Reduced feelings of anxiety

How fast does it work?

Viagra (Sildenafil) typically takes between 30 and 60 minutes to work. It stays in your system for about 4 hours, so you could have sex multiple times with a single dosage.

You can take Viagra (Sildenafil) with or without food. But you shouldn't have a high-fat meal before taking it. Additional fat in your system may make the medication take longer to start working.

You also have to be sexually stimulated for it to work. That means taking a pill doesn't automatically give you an erection. You need to have an experience with that special someone to get you going and for the medication to do its job.

A smaller dosage (25mg) may not last as long as a higher dosage (100mg). However, you should speak with your doctor about what level is right for you. Higher dosages may not be safe for some men.

Your age, diet, and other medications can impact the efficacy of Viagra (Sildenafil). Talk to your doctor about your lifestyle to see if there's anything else you should do to enhance your sex life.

What's the best way to get Viagra (Sildenafil)?

If you're experiencing one or more symptoms of ED, consider these 2 options to get your prescription.

  • Visit your doctor: You can see your doctor to talk about your symptoms. It's best to go to a doctor that you feel comfortable speaking to about your sex life because face-to-face consultations can feel uncomfortable and invasive.

This is a safe, easy, and more comfortable alternative to making a traditional doctor's appointment and then picking up your prescription from the pharmacy. Have a potentially uncomfortable conversation from the comfort and convenience of your own home. Plus, we ship your prescription straight to you. It's never been easier!
