Makes sense. You put less strain on the brain by shifting thinking to other parts of the body. Smart.

So, not only can you have sex, but you can remember it. A win/win.

“It lowers blood pressure.”

That’s the reason Pfizer invented it, and why it was approved by FDA. An unintended consequence of it was helping ED issues.

I wonder if FDA ever approved it specifically for ED.

Before you run out and buy viagra....remember correlation does not prove causation. It could simply be that those old farts still interested in sex and needing help were also likely the ones without dementia. Explains why a randomized controlled trial (RCT) is important.

For that very reason, only one RCT done in rural Bangladesh shows that masks work (barely)....all others 16 trials show complete lack of efficacy.

Sometimes it can be hard, but you just have to get a grasp on the problem.

Anyone taking viagra clearly has an active sex life which means higher cognitive abilities. Worthless correlation.

Well, let’s examine that.

Viagra increases blood flow to the groin area, so why not the brain as well?

Probably does, and nobody ever bothered to check. You don’t fix what ain’t broken.

Increased blood flow would tend to bypass the effects of an plaques built up it seems to me.

But that’s just my guess..................

Because doddering Joe has been using it as a suppository.

I read that men think about sex every 10 seconds so maybe it works by exercising the brain and increases blood flow.

a single dose of sildenafil increased cerebral blood flow, and increased the cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen.
