walkable cities
more time off from work
more third spaces
less air pollution
less inequality
of course none of that "increases productivity or GDP" so the ruling class won't consider it. of course when they start dying like Japan with low birth rates, their 'solution' is to have a government funded dating app instead of doing the obvious.
50mg 3x a day, according to the study: https://www.ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/CIRCRESAHA.124.32432... Seems high to me, but I've never taken the drug. I assume most people take it just a few times a week for it's intended use? Is anyone aware of research that shows positive benefits to health at recreational doses?

Recreational doses? What does that mean? Excessive vasodilation isn’t going to be fun. You actually need some vasoconstriction to balance your blood pressure. Too much and you’re just going to get headaches and lightheaded. Excessive vasodilation would be expected to worsen cognition.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
You take it for this purpose or why?
It is prescribed for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH; an enlarged prostate) which include difficulty urinating—not just for ED
you know what else would? walkable cities more time off from work more third spaces less air pollution less inequality of course none of that "increases productivity or GDP" so the ruling class won't consider it. of course when they start dying like Japan with low birth rates, their 'solution' is to have a government funded dating app instead of doing the obvious.
Btw, Japan has walkable cities of course but also has low inequality (but not so high wealth). Approximately nothing is known to increase birth rates except for being highly religious though; it seems they mostly collapse when people have anything else to do for fun besides have sex. So basically it's caused by being on your phone too much.
Viagra 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.
