Recent reports, both in traditional and on social media, paint a picture of men falling down like dominos while in the “line of duty” from the effects of the sex-enhancing drugs, popularly known as Viagra. Experts acknowledge that the controlled medicines are being dispensed with abandon and men, young and old, are eating them like groundnuts. Why is an increasing number of men, both young and old, resorting to drugs to attend to bedroom affairs whose solutions, or even causes, may not be entirely sexual? Why the drug-fueled sex?
Truth be told, we live in an era where underperformance under the sheets is something that can break a man’s self-esteem. This pushes men who have doubts about their ability to find a stimulant, and that is how they end up with Viagra, also called the blue pill. Viagra is a little diamond-shaped tablet used by men who suffer erectile dysfunction to aid in rigidity. It has an ingredient called sildenafil citrate, which boosts performance by hastening blood flow into the reproductive organs, enabling men to not only get but also sustain the turgidity. Manufacturers of the drugs have for decades maintained that the pill is safe for use as long as a doctor or pharmacist gives the green-light.
Erectile dysfunction (ED) can result from factors that are medical, psychological, emotional, or a combination of these. Medical conditions that can cause erectile dysfunction include high blood pressure; diabetes; heart and kidney diseases; and multiple sclerosis and injury to the penis, prostrate, pelvis, or spinal cord from surgery or other sources. Psychological issues that might contribute to erectile dysfunction include anxiety, depression, guilt, stress, and low self-esteem. Some lifestyle choices can also lead to erectile dysfunction, including alcohol or drug use, excess weight, lack of exercise and smoking.
