Some Viagra Thoughts
Tuesday, May 27th, 2008What Viagra can provide is a reduction of anxiety about whether an erection can be attained and can create a situation for men where intercourse actually is another option in lovemaking (where it may not have been readily available previously). However, we want to stress here, that for healthy relationships, the act of intercourse is best used when it feels most appropriate, but please, not as the goal of lovemaking. We still believe that the goal of lovemaking should be the conveyance between the partners of their love, caring and nurturing of each other. In this regard, we see the potential of Viagra as a valuable “tool.”
Another area where Viagra can make a valuable contribution is in the reduction of “condom anxiety” on the part of men. Many men are reluctant to use condoms because of fears of loss of sensitivity and/or failure to attain or maintain an erection. The increased sensitivity caused by Viagra could go a long way towards encouraging a greater use of condoms and thus, safer sex practices during intercourse.
Also, trials have begun to assess the value of Viagra in increasing the blood flow and perhaps, vaginal and clitoral sensitivity in women. A couple of weeks after Gary’s experiment, Shama elected to try Viagra (also in the interest of science). “When Gary and I made love this time, I noticed a marked increase in sensitivity in my genitals which did heighten my pleasure. He also commented that I felt “wetter and juicier” than usual. I believe that for me, as well, I was able to “stay with it” for a more extended period of time.”
