The same issues that cause a lack of blood flow for men are also present in the brain, it appears.

Consequently, Viagra seems to help both small vessel locations.

So ‘thinking with the wrong head’ no longer applies?

[bleach]

So, they’re saying it’s good for the head?.

[C210N]

Doesn’t it cause headaches?

Lucky me — my medicare pays 100% for 18 pills every 3 months

Hope my brain is happy with that.

So if Viagra improves brain function it might have an unintended effect on its other use, i.e. “nope, not doing dat!”

[Gene Eric]

yes, according to my wife

[know.your.why]

I know this first hand as a fact. Its given to premature babies in NICU for the exact same reasons.

The HEADLINE should read.. "It's HAPPENED for MEN.. They've found a WAY to Finally Allow the BIG HEAD to do the thinking for the LITTLE HEAD!"

I would assume any of the similar drugs (e.g., Cialis) would do the same. Cialis probably even better, in that it last for much longer.

I took Viagra once, never again. My blood pressure went so high I thought I was going to have a stroke. It seems all that stuff does is raise your BP through the roof I assume with the idea that the high BP will ——>. Yeah OK it makes you “functional” but you also risk dying. I’m sticking to the old fashioned way to be functional: Don’t think of Hillary, Pelosi, Helen Thomas or any other democrat

[eyeamok]

So the two heads are no longer mutually exclusive??

[George from New England]

I asked Doctor about the risk of this stuff and they said none.
But I do feel a bit more stressed for the time it’s in my system. Approaching 24 hours.

Maybe more sex prevents dementia.

That’s very unusual. They normally lower blood pressure.

In fact, they were being researched as a blood pressure medicine when the “side” effect what discovered by horny Boston University researchers who then used it as a party drug.

Ron Jeremy last I read was pretty much gone mentally.

Exception to the rule?
