Viagra A Possible Health Risk for most Males and Females

My health thoughts on Viagra as part of my blogs on Diet and Health

PERSONALLY:
Introduction:
I have seen and heard so many Viagra jokes, that finally today, Jan 18th 2008 I said, "enough already Iwant to discuss and give my opinion on Viagra."
My use and experience?
I never needed Viagra, because I was usually okay but there were times were I needed the female to also use her abilities to increase the desire for sex. If your in good health I do not agree with taking any stimulant. The only benefit I can see for using Viagra is "sexual pleasure for both male and female in the short term." Of course like most men, I would wonder about trying this drug. But I would ask, "What are the long term good/bad affects on the male body? " I do not see enough testing on this drug and I always think, "Is it not better to leave well enough alone!"

THE MALE NEED:
Influenced by TV, movies and other media, everyone knows Viagra!
I would suspect that porn actors must use it because they have to be "up" for hours in those sex movie shootings. Women require lubrication and more moaning but the man has to stay up for long periods of time. This is not normal activity for the male species.
What men require is more healthy natural stamina. Low stamina is due in large part to a combination of bad health and diet. However in this day and age, stamina is definitely affected by pollution, stress, smoking, drinking, drugs or enhanced stimulants to increase unnatural body energy with the use of drugs and steroids.
I guess if your older, what does it matter? If your one of these males who think, "what the hell I will be dead soon anyway." So I would say, “go ahead, shorten your life and shoot your self!”

Excessive Use:
The body does not like excessive anything. Even good things, like food and exercise in excess can cause problems see my other Health blogs on this.
I feel that when younger men, under 50, use Viagra in excess, there has to be some serious bad side affects. Effects that have not been discovered or shown up yet, in tests but ones I feel, will show up sometime soon.

Bad side affects:
Headaches, obvious soreness in the penis and mental stress would be some of the problems with taking Viagra. These side affects would lead to other more serious health issues.
If you have a possible susceptibility to prostrate cancer for example. Using Viagra could speed up the cancer activity. Nervous disorders could result because of the over stimulation and this would lead to earlier mental problems like Alzheimer's, dementia and so many other brain and nervous issues. I see this also affecting the thyroid and digestion, by diverting so much natural body metabolism energy to the penis, for long periods of time. The thyroid our hormone and digestive control centre, would certainly react to the introduction of Viagra into the blood. Google "thyroid problems."
Therefore the use of Viagra can not promote proper digestion, which can lead to abnormal increases in malnutrition which makes the human body more susceptible to disease and infections.
The heart would definitely be affected because it is what has to keep all that blood pumped into an erect penis, to keep it erect. If your not physically fit, Viagra could very well be what causes advanced forms of heart disease. To maintain a prolonged high level of blood pressure would require a very strong heart and over time would definitely lead a unhealthy person to some form of heart disease.

Questions Questions Questions about the use of Viagra:
How much should each male take when they are healthy or unhealthy, older or younger, tall or short, well endowed or not, over weight or slender and maybe even ethnic origin could affect this decision.
How much would a male with normal erection activity or inactivity be able to take without health risks or bad side affects?
Recommended dosages are usually based on clinically controlled situations. But I know every human body is different and to get an realistic average dosage for every male, would require intensive testing over many years. I doubt this testing exists.
When would a male stop taking it? And should a male not know what health problems are caused by the use of Viagra for his age group and health status?

My Male Conclusions:
I do not see any healthy man taking this Viagra continually for long periods of time. I would think once weekly might be pushing it for most healthy males.
I do not see how something that stimulates excessively can be any good for anyone.
If your body can not currently maintain an erection for an "normal" period of time, then you may have other health problems. Check those problems first!!
There are plenty of other non oral methods which will maintain an erect penis. Why would males not try them, first?

For the Male who will try it?
Talk with your spouse first and test the gradual introduction of Viagra into your sex life. Have a blood pressure monitor availble, (under $50 at any Drug store) to take your daily readings, also before and after sex. Then you will know when to Stop using Viagra, if the readings become elevated or abnormal.

If it is artificial can your body handle it?
This Viagra is to me, creating abnormal stress on the libido and reproductive glands in a male plus it will definitely over time affect other vital organs like the heart and the brain.
I think the long term effects would be severe erection problems and increased risk to the prostrate problems, infections, advanced aging, headaches, insomnia and more..

It sells however I will not join the crowd:
"Hard" to tell the whole story when the marketing is so good!
But I will never use it and I do not know any male who has used it or maybe any male who would admit to using it! I do not take something just because someone else does. I would like to see more testing, the readings for blood pressure, before, during and after sex. I would like see test results on the follow up, of many different men of different ages and ethnic origins, who are using this substance.
I think it is logical to conclude, that with so many men and I hear some women are taking Viagra,
that the odds are very good that many bad side effects will soon start to show up.

Then what about the woman who have a man using Viagra?
Questions:
How many women would any man know, that would honestly want unnaturally stimulated sex over and over, for hours and hours, day after day? How many women would want that much sex? Is this increased sex, healthy for the female? What are the side affects for her? \

The female side affects or problems with a Man who uses Viagra:
The irritation due to his excess of sexual contact can not be pleasant after a time.
Take for example, a female who is happy with once or maybe twice a week for years and really does not want any more than that. How would her body respond to a male with artificial self serving passions, from a man she has know for many years? Is this something she actually wanted on a more frequent basis? As a woman ages will she truly want more sex?
Conclusions:
I think the female body has limits too. And her body would know the real from the unreal. A dildo works but becomes very impersonal and quick. I am not sure that an over stimulated penis would not be any different.
Most women, like men, want the normal healthy stamina driven sex.
With Viagra the male would not be taking the woman’s wants, needs and desires into consideration.
She would also see her natural wanting of some foreplay to be significantly reduced. Because we males assume an erect penis is all a woman wants for great sex.
But with Viagra, eventually foreplay would be completely ignored at her mental expense to satisfy his need.

The male dildo!
The male with Viagra in the blood will become something she would rather not have on a frequent basis. But she will see that the male sexual needs will have to come first with the continued use of Viagra. But in the 21st century, in North American, I do not see any female allowing this to happen, any time soon!
The man would not be any more sexually attractive after this sexual Viagra fade, wears off. She will see herself becoming a sexual toy for this male dildo which has only one objective. Go until the drug wears off and there is no instant off/on switch!
The female who will control the Male use of Viagra:
The female recipient of a Viagra male contact, after a time, would want, I am sure to say,
"Enough already, here is a plastic vagina I bought for you, please enjoy. I am going back to my dildo!!"
