This is a common question from men who are first looking into just what benefits come along with taking Viagra, or its generic form Sildenafil.
But the answer isn’t quite that simple.
Whether Viagra helps you last longer in bed depends on what main issue you are having that is leaving you unhappy with your duration.
In this article, we will go over some of the main causes behind a less than ideal time span in the sheets, and look into which ones Viagra just might be able to help with.
If your main issue in the bedroom is just the maintenance of an erection for a long enough time, and everything else seems to be going as planned, you are likely to see an increased duration in the bedroom from taking Viagra.
The main function of Viagra is to increase the blood flow and keep that blood put for longer than usual, leading to staying physically erect longer.
So, if the desire is there, you don’t suffer from premature ejaculation, and it is solely an erection maintenance issue - there is a good chance that you will get what you are looking for from Viagra or Sildenafil.
If your boudoir problems seem to stem from premature ejaculation (PE), Viagra may not be the ticket.
While a few studies have looked into if Viagra can deliver bedroom benefits in the form of reducing PE, the results don’t always agree that there is a benefit.
One study in 180 men reported that taking Sildenafil 50mg as needed before activity significantly improved PR symptoms and lengthened the time in bed as compared to no treatment.
But, another study reported that men taking Sildenafil did not yield any significant time improvements in PE as compared to those taking a placebo.
However, it should be noted that the second study did find that Sildenafil increased the men’s confidence in the bedroom, their perception of control, refractory time, and their reported overall sexual satisfaction.
So, Viagra also helping with PE symptoms is a maybe and more studies need to be done to get some concrete answers in that department.
At the very least, Viagra may fill you with more confidence and perceived control leading you to then perform better.
But, if you are finding that the main issue it leaning more towards a PE issue rather than an erection maintenance issue, you may want to speak with your doctor about potential treatment options that target PE specifically.
Viagra is strictly a physical help, in the form of increasing and maintaining blood flow to the area once a man is stimulated.
If your issues stem from a lack of initial desire, then Viagra may not even be able to help with the blood flow issues, since being mentally started up is a necessity for its function.
So, unfortunately, Viagra will not help you get in the mood, it will only maintain the physical responses from being mentally or physically stimulated.
If your main bedroom problems come in the form of low libido or lack of desire, you may benefit more from speaking with your partner about any relationship issues or looking into couples therapy to get to the root of the problem.
Sometimes low desire issues may stem from medical conditions, in that case, your sex life may benefit from improving your overall health conditions or getting into better shape.
