#33> The OxHARP trial was a meticulously designed double-blind, placebo-controlled study involving 75 participants who had experienced a minor stroke and showed signs of mild to moderate small vessel disease. Each participant received sildenafil, a placebo, and cilostazol (a similar drug) over three-week periods in a randomised order. I feel like dudes will know if they got Viagra or not? It doesn't seem like cilostazol…
Viagra doesn't "make" you hard, you still need sexual stimulus. I've taken it and then the sexual opportunity fell through, so I went back to coding or whatever, and I didn't notice anything different.

#34Viagra increases the effect of nitric oxide, which is bad stuff when it gets into cytochrome complex iv in the mitochondria (IIRC). I would personally suspect based on that, that its effects on brain health would be negative in spite of blood flow.
Nitric oxide bad for you? Pretty sure it is good for you ,otherwise super foods like beets and leafy greens would be bad for you.

#36I’ve read about people using tadalafil as a nootropic in the past. Is there even a difference?
It’s so easy to get a prescription these days might be worth a shot.

Maybe, but maybe not. If I told you I'm either giving you actual viagra or a placebo, you might get more aroused even if given placebo. Because psychologically you'll be thinking "There's at least a chance I took viagra right now"

That is true that it was originally for cardiovascular issues.
However, it seems that there was at least theoretical consideration that it could be used to treat ED
A nice overview is here:
