How many times have you cursed the diamond shaped pill because it needs you to take a glass of water to take it? Admit it, sex is often a spontaneous thing that isn’t planned beforehand and needing a glass of water just to take the drug when the passion is rising can be a rather unpleasant distraction from the process. Besides, there are a lot of people who simply cannot swallow pills as a whole because of a strong gag reflex or other factors involved. That’s why despite the wide popularity of Viagra there were still a lot of people who couldn’t benefit from it because they found its use inconvenient. However, things seem to change for the better with a new form of the most popular ED medication being tested in Mexico, being promisingly named as Viagra Jet.

The new form of Viagra is being sold only in Mexico at this moment, which is the second largest market of Viagra in Latin America after Brazil, with approximately 3 million pills sold on a yearly basis. Pfizer corporation has decided to run a test version of new Viagra in a single country in order to define how attractive and effective it will be for the users. What’s special about the new Viagra version? Viagra Jet represents a chewable form of the ordinary blue pill that doesn’t require you to take it with water and wait for the tablet to get digested in the stomach. You simply take the tablet of the prescribed dosage, chew it and enjoy the effects of Viagra without being distracted from the process of intimate foreplay and sex.

Viagra Jet delivers benefits that aren’t limited solely by its higher convenience. Sure, this would allow more men to enjoy using Viagra and help the drug become easier to use when it’s actually needed. However, another prominent benefit of the new form is that chewing allows the active ingredient to get into the bloodstream much faster than in case of the ordinary pill. This means that Viagra Jet starts working much earlier, in just a couple of minutes once you chew the tablet instead of nearly 30 minutes after taking the ordinary pill. That’s exactly why the new formulation was called Jet.

Right now the new type of Viagra is only available in Mexico as part of the market research done by Pfizer. There’s still no information on whether it will be available in other countries at a certain moment as it depends on the results of the research, which seem to look very promising on paper.

Celebrity Partiers Turning to ED Meds

The recreational use of erectile dysfunction medications is making more and more headlines. It’s not just because of new studies released showing the prevalence and danger of such things. Rather, it is the high profile celebrities that are embroiled in the stories. Big Boi, the rapper who is one half of superstar hip-hop group OutKast, was arrested in August of 2011 in Miami and booked with possession of controlled substances, including a famous PDE5 inhibitor used to treat erectile dysfunction. He was also found with ecstasy pills and MDMA powder, while marijuana was found in the bags of people in his party.

So does Big Boi have erectile dysfunction? That is hardly the story! He might struggle with erectile dysfunction, but it could be from side effects of other drug use. More important is to note that ED drugs are finding their way into the custody of people using street drugs. What are the causes of this recreational use of ED drugs? Are they safe? What does this say about the changing culture in the United States?

Recreational Use of ED Drugs Reaching Epic Proportions

A study published in the August 2010 issue of the Journal of Sexual Medicine reported on the increasing use of erectile dysfunction medications as recreational drugs. According to the study, the average age of ED pill users is getting lower and lower; this is more than just a sign that ED is afflicting younger men. The cause of this increase is at least partly due to recreational use among younger men. In American men 18-30, 21.5 percent admitted to using Viagra recreationally. Of these 21.5 percent, 73.3 percent said they did it more than once. The study shows that this group of younger men are often practicing frequent, unsafe sex. They tend not to use condoms, which means they are more vulnerable to disease. Another finding that men using ED drugs recreationally are more likely to be HIV positive supports this claim. The fact that men are using ED drugs in increasing numbers is clear from the sales figures of the major pharmaceutical companies. What is less clear is exactly why, since it is unlikely an ED epidemic is so far reaching.

Why People Use ED Drugs Recreationally

As in the case of Big Boi, these drugs are rarely found in isolation. Users tend to also use alcohol, marijuana, ecstasy, or methamphetamine. All of these other drugs are often cited in use for either sexual ritual or increased sexual perception or performance. The four mentioned above are also known to cause temporary erectile dysfunction.

The theory is that people party with other drugs and when it comes time for sex, they need something else to be able to perform. They turn to PDE5 inhibitors like Viagra.

Some recreational users have claimed that ED meds lead to increased sexual sensations, long and harder erections, and delayed ejaculation. There is no evidence, however, that this is true. A psychiatrist contacted for this article suggested that the effects may be due to the confidence of the user being increased.

Drugs are said to be necessary for frequent sexual encounters.

Is Viagra Safe for Recreational Use?

In a word, no. Combined with other drugs, it can be dangerous. It may dangerously lower blood pressure.

Male sexual health is a rather delicate topic if looked at from different perspectives. Men don’t like discussing their sexual health especially if there are some problems present. Male sexuality is the basis of male psyche in general so when there are some issues present it can lead to psychological complications as well. And even the nature of such unpleasant condition as erectile dysfunction can be characterized as delicate, because it involves a sophisticated balance of different body systems. That’s why ED is often classified as a lifestyle condition, which can be prevented and even eliminated through serious changes of the way you live your life. So what can be done to reduce the risk of impotence through the lifestyle way?

Overall health

Overall health is a rather loos term yet it describes the nature of ED development very well. Erectile dysfunction isn’t a condition on its own but rather a symptom to more complicated health issues, as it never takes place in a perfectly healthy organism. Some of the most common factors contributing to the development of ED include high cholesterol, diabetes, hypertension, obesity, lack of physical activity, certain types of cancer, use of specific medications, substance abuse and many others. So if you want to avoid ED you should keep your health as best as possible.

Bad habits

The most common bad habits of modern society include cigarette smoking, alcohol abuse and drug addiction. And aside from all the health risks these activities are known for they also represent a serious factor contributing to ED. Men who are long term smokers or with serious alcohol or drug problems have a much higher risk of suffering from male impotence. So if you still want to have good erections without using Viagra all the time it’s best to kick all bad habits as early as possible.

Physical activity

Lack of physical activity is one of the main factors contributing to many health conditions that ultimately lead to the development of erectile dysfunction in men. Obesity, hypertension, high cholesterol and diabetes can all stem from not being physically active on a regular basis. The cardiovascular system plays an important role in the mechanism of erection, so if you keep it in a good shape through exercising you can rest assured that you won’t be needing Viagra for a long time. And it doesn’t matter what kind of activity you choose for as long as you are doing it on a regular basis.

Proper diet

It may sound surprising to some of you but the food you eat can also be the cause for erectile problems in the long run. If your regimen is rich with saturated fats, processed foods, fast foods, sweets, caffeinated drinks, sugar and other products that are usually labeled as unhealthy then you can expect to require Viagra at a much earlier stage than your peers following a healthy diet. Enrich your regimen with fruits, vegetables, poultry, fish, nuts and grain and you will see the difference both in your overall health and your performance in bed.

Causes of male impotence

Erectile dysfunction is a condition that virtually all men would regard as one of the most discouraging and unpleasant health issues possible. And not because it’s severe and may affect a person’s productivity or quality of life. Male psyche is strongly linked to sexuality, so when there’s something wrong on the love front the patient starts to experience psychological problems ranging from simple anxiety to depression and even mental issues. That’s why erectile dysfunction is so feared by men. If you don’t want to deal with this issue it is highly recommended to learn about the causes of the condition, so that you could prevent and avoid it for as long as possible. So what are the primary causes of erectile dysfunction in men?

Doctors distinct two main types of causes that may influence the development of erectile dysfunction in men. The first type is the most common and involves physiological conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, hormonal imbalance, heart problems, obesity, high cholesterol, neural conditions, damage to the spinal chord, damage to penis, different types of cancer, use of certain medications, drug and alcohol abuse, among many others. Most of these conditions affect the blood circulation in the body in general and in the penile area in particular. And that’s a crucial aspect for having strong and solid erections. Physiologically induced erectile dysfunction can be treated by eliminating the problem at cause, which can be a bit problematic with some of the conditions mentioned earlier due to their chronic nature. Yet, there’s also a solution in the form of Viagra. This medication is designed to stimulate blood flow to the penis when necessary and that’s very effective for most of the physiological conditions associated with erectile dysfunction.

The second type of factors affecting erectile function are psychological issues. These account for the lesser part of all ED cases, yet still they can also be very widespread, especially in urban areas with high phase of life and abundance of psychological issues. Conditions such as excessive stress, depression, anxiety, relationship problems, mental disorders and others can seriously affect a person’s ability to relax and get aroused. When there’s no sexual arousal it’s nearly impossible to have a suitable erection, even if you’re using drugs like Viagra. The solution for psychologically induced male impotence would be eliminating the problem at cause, which is usually much easier compared to physiological problems mentioned earlier. Cognitive therapy, medications and relaxation techniques can effectively relieve most of psychological disorders and put you back on track in what concerns erectile function.

There can also be cases of mixed erectile dysfunction where both psychological and physiological factors are involved. It usually takes the form of a positive feedback where one type of factors contributes to the formation of the second type and it all turns into a vicious cycle. These cases aren’t very common yet they require a serious work from your doctor and may need the use of both drugs like Viagra and psychological techniques for effective treatment.

Viagra and sexually transmitted diseases

In the good old days, men grew old before their time and died. These were simple times. Then medicine got more scientific and researchers actually began to make a difference to people’s lives. That and the fact food became a lot more plentiful and, allowing for inflation, cheaper. When you add improvement in diet and better medicine together, men start to live longer. This has produced a very interesting social phenomenon. Women have always lived longer than men. This has meant most living single lives without anyone to keep them company. But now more men are living longer, this is changing the sexual landscape for older people. There are a lot more opportunities for men to find partners. More importantly, if the men are willing, they are likely to find multiple partners.

The pattern seems to be that older men prefer stability in relationships but, if their partners die, loneliness forces them out into the world. Many of these men are relatively inexperienced but, if they find the right places to make contact with the “scene”, they can find themselves in demand. In a sense, this is a mixed blessing. It’s good because it can overcome a lack of self-confidence. When men were growing up more than fifty years ago, dating and sex were more difficult. If a woman more directly signals availability today, this takes the pressure of the man. With erectile dysfunction pills to hand in case of difficulty, men can quickly find themselves in bed. But there’s one further issue.

Seniors come from a time when there was less discussion of sex and certainly little encouragement to wear condoms. The reason for relatively low levels of sexually transmitted disease fifty years ago was there was less sexual activity with multiple partners. With those attitudes in place, many men are now discovering there’s a real risk of sexually transmitted disease today. Trying to persuade inexperienced men to wear condoms is not easy because they are not conveniently grouped together in High School. Finding them before they contract an STD is next to impossible. However, once they realize the problem, most are quick to understand the need for protection. It’s all somewhat ironic. These are the people who, just a few years ago, might have advised their children to lead lives of abstinence until they married. Now they are single again, these seniors are in the market for both condoms and Viagra. Of course, the motivation is different. This is not out of a fear of unwanted pregnancies. It’s simply a desire to improve the quality of life in their golden years.

For the men who refuse to heed the warnings, there’s a statistic that might encourage greater caution. Most of the reported STD cases are relatively minor – more an inconvenience than anything dangerous. But there’s a slow but steady increase in the number of older men being diagnosed with HIV. The most recent figures are for 2009. More than 3,000 new cases were confirmed in the age range 50-54, 2,000+ cases in the range 55-59, 900 cases in the range 60-64 and almost 750 cases in men over 65. Viagra is a great way to keep sexual activity going in older men, but everyone should practice self-defense by using condoms.
