Sexual Health

One of the topics that frequently come up when women get together for a bit of a chat is each of their sex lives – but most specifically, the duration of intercourse. Now, according to various studies its become common knowledge that close to ninety-three percent men aren’t able to perform for a duration long enough for their partner to reach climax. This of course is concern for a good ninety percent of all men – since sexual performance is directly linked to coexisting with women.

In most cases however, the problems are of a simple nature and may be overcome with ease, like for instance, most men who suffer from premature ejaculation usually just need a thicker contraceptive sheath (read condom) to cause less friction on the penis (which prolongs the duration required for enough sexual tension to build that results in an ejaculation).

Other than lack of interest, arousal disorders and premature ejaculation or even the failure to ejaculate altogether, the most common sexual disorder really is male erectile dysfunction. The cause for this dysfunction is an enzyme called PDE 5, which during arousal is inhibited by the body in certain muscles (especially the penis). When this enzyme is inhibited, the muscles relax (contrary to popular belief that penis engorgement is caused by tense muscles) – and the relaxed muscles allow blood to fill in and since the muscles are not tense, allow the blood to concentrate within the muscle. This is what causes an erection. There are a number of generic drugs that may be used to inhibit PDE5, some with lower dosage requirements (since they last longer in the body or that are more selective about their focus on inhibiting PDE5).

Any less than normal response during any phase of an arousal cycle may be called a sexual dysfunction or disorder. These would include but are not limited to arousal disorders, desire disorders, sexual pain and orgasm disorders.

Most of the common disorders that occur in both men and women are that of ‘desire’, ‘arousal’, ‘erection’ (only in males), ‘orgasms’, ‘premature ejaculation’ (again only in males) and ‘dyspareunia’ (pain during sex). The main effect of Viagra is that it relaxes muscles and increases blood flow, to particular areas of the body that normally would have increased blood flow, especially as seen during sexual activity. Its primary use is by males who have difficulty in achieving or maintaining an erection over any period of time. Other disorders like desire and orgasm are not directly treatable with Viagra use. Viagra however, is very effective in sorting out problems with arousal and introduces higher amounts of blood to fill the penis.
