There's a joke / counterpoint in here about men with erections thinking less clearly than men without erections.

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.
Severe warning. I have no sexual problems and took a viagra once. It definitely was automatic and persistent. It was terrible. It wouldn’t even go away when I was done with it.
Why the downvotes? People are giving wrong and dangerous advice.
Yeah, you can say “well just don’t take it if it’s not prescribed.”
But don’t bury the truth. If you don’t have ED and you take it, the GP is wrong.

I don't know how people imagine viagra working - it's not like you take a pill, you continue browsing the internet, reading news, and suddenly, a boner lifts your desk.
> it's not like you take a pill, you continue browsing the internet, reading news, and suddenly, a boner lifts your desk. Aside from the lifting the desk part, that's exactly how I imagine it working - and how it should work. You mean it also requires special sexual arousal? Well, even that it shouldn't be that difficult.
I imagine some just need a stiff breeze

It’s not unrelated actually, there is some tissue inside the nose cavity that is similar to the erectile tissue of the penis. That’s why the nose gets “stuffy” from sildenafil, and that’s why you sometimes sneeze when aroused.
A curious question, is nasal congestion has any correlation with high blood pressure?
I wouldn’t know. Sildenafil lowers the blood pressure, so I would expect the negative correlation.

#247Just a word to the wise, viagra can cause tinnitus by putting too much blood through tiny vessels in your ears. Be careful of high doses while hydrated and exercising
isn't, er, vigorous exercise part of what people expect when they take viagra?
Depends. The kind of exercise you're thinking can be done vigorously and for a long period -- or, for some people, it could be a quick 5-10 minute thing that feels vigorous but really doesn't involve that much muscular effort.

I've heard the erection points downwards if you slice the ligament holding it up on the top side that could make it fit down the leg better
What a terrible day to have eyes
Yea, seems rather extreme when the doctor could also just prescribe phloppycoxin.
Somehow reminds me of another joke...
What do they call a testicle transplant in the US?
"Shooting someone else's children"

It's common to have a 1 hour running or a lifting session 3-4 times a week but kudos to you and/or my condolences to your partner if your vigorous exercise lasts that long every time.

Off-topic but related… I started Vyvanse about 3 months ago and the only negative side effect so far is tinnitus. It’s bloody loud :(
It can also be caused by SSRIs and NDRIs and benzos! Great side effect if you're already feeling depressed. Although benzos can also help, depending. I think 80% of cases are a brain thing and not an ear thing, but because ENTs and audiologists have exactly one hammer (hearing aids), we get fuck all for research.
