It is being used off label all over the place for heart conditions. That’s why i take it. The on label use is actually pretty annoying for the first few months.

Not trying to be crass here, but does that mean you are just walking around with boners all day?

> 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.

Wrong python. Hehehe

It's commonly used in bodybuilding competitions.

Now I cannot get that picture out of my head. A crowd full of bodybuilders in tight shorts and all on Viagra doing workouts. Each to his own I guess..

Bodybuilders at competition time have very low body fat and are very dehidrated, it's never an "issue".

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 think that's the case for Cialis but Viagra should make you "pop" regardless of what activity you're doing.

the placebo effect does not work like that. You dont get physiological benefits just by thinking you have them.

Isn't that the exact definition of the placebo effect?

you dont get antibodies against viruses just by thinking you have them.

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.

"walkable cities" is the solution to virtually everything these days, apparently.

I keep seeing this /r/antiwork crap in the most unexpected places around here.

That's Cialis, Viagra should make you hard even when you're in the confession booth talking to a priest.

Maybe that's just java language, have you tried with other ones?

Saunas, hot baths, and excercise improve blood flow.

This is America: we demand a low-effort, overpriced solution, preferably in pill form.

think about the main consumer base for viagra, and then think about who makes the majority of economic/financial decisions in this country.
