The effects of Viagra on various sexual disorders
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.
The research into the effects of Viagra usage by women is limited although there have been studies conducted (and there are quite a few references online). These point to higher levels of lubrication (especially where natural lubrication was noticed to be low), greater engorgement of the labia and engorgement of the clitoris. For women who don’t normally get aroused, this would come as a boon since engorgement helps with sensitivity, especially with a clitoris that is protruding more than normal.
Also, inability to carry on with sexual intercourse over a period of time severely limits satisfaction. Viagra comes to the rescue here by increasing sexual performance and endurance. It’s generally understood though that Viagra use will cause the engorgement of the right muscles in both men and women, but in most cases, arousal through intimate closeness or some form of physical manipulation or stimulation is still required.
