And really big hormonal issues caused by the low body fat. Bodybuilders (in the months before competing, while cutting) can't get it up even if they wanted to.
I thought the hormonal issues are caused by steroids, no?
Normal natural bodybuilders get them if they have a low enough BF%.
I mean, steroids are worse but you can get perfectly disfunctional naturally .

I'm pretty sure you don't just get random erections unless you're engaged in activity that you find sexually stimulating. ...so yes, probably.
> I'm pretty sure you don't just get random erections unless you're engaged in activity that you find sexually stimulating I think that's the case for Cialis but Viagra should make you "pop" regardless of what activity you're doing.
No it doesn't. It simply makes the effect of sexual stimulation more effective. If you body is not trying to engorge the penis it has little to no effect on that part of you.
At least that is my experience of taking it.

I know a former executive of the company that was developing this drug for cardiovascular problems. He told me that they sold it because it had this "side-effect" that they couldn't get rid of. ;-) Marketing is the key to business success. (Talking to you, tech people)
Is that marketing (advertising) or product market fit?
Wasn't this class of medication originally for cardiovascular issues, and the whole ED mitigation was a happy marketable accident?
I vaguely recall an anecdote about athletes using it for performance improvement, and getting a slightly different stat buff
First NIH said it does: https://www.nih.gov/news-events/nih-research-matters/viagra-... Then it doesn't: https://www.nih.gov/news-events/news-releases/nih-dream-stud... Then it does: https://www.ox.ac.uk/news/2024-06-07-sildenafil-viagra-impro... Who knows what to believe.
I’ve always been taught that “a wank a day keeps the doctor away” so I believe it.

We don't know how many medications actually function. We put them inside of increasingly complex animals and study the results to see what they do (and hope they don't die). Botox was intended to treat muscle spasms. Powerful anti-depressants are regularly prescribed for pain from nerve damage in people with no mental health issues. And MDMA isn't prescribed for anything because the powers that be prematurely decided…
“ Panelists pointed to flawed studies that could have skewed the results, missing follow-up data on patient outcomes and a lack of diversity among participants. The vast majority of patients were white, with only five Black patients receiving MDMA, raising questions about the generalizability of the results.
“The fact that this study has so many white participants is problematic because I don’t want something to roll out that only helps this one group,” said Elizabeth Joniak-Grant, the group’s patient representative. “
Hopefully the VA can lead the way.

It needs prescription, correct?
It's possible to order it from Indian pharmacies or one can pick it up while on vacation in the third world.
You can also buy these things as research chemical but same question as above.
Always remember, made in USA is likely a misdirection. You buy this stuff in bulk off of Alibaba like sites, buy some made in USA containers, repackage it in the USA and now you can claim the whole thing is “made in USA.”
Some of these places will list chemical analysis of their drugs but who knows what they tested what they send? Also, when did they test, who tested it? Etc. would love to hear if anyone has figured this out.
Just some quick references off the top of my head,
