Does Viagra help you last longer?

Tuesday, April 25, 2023

Viagra is commonly taken by men who struggle to keep and maintain an erection, long enough for sufficient sexual intercourse.

Sildenafil is the active ingredient found in Viagra. Sildenafil belongs to a group of medicines called phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) inhibitors. When you become sexually excited, it temporarily increases blood flow to your penis, which helps if you have problems with erections also known as erectile dysfunction. By increasing the blood flow to the penis in response to sexual stimulation, making it easier to get and maintain an erection.

So, does sildenafil make you last longer?

Although the answer is yes, sildenafil (Viagra) keeps you hard for sex, this doesn’t mean it will stop you from ‘coming’ early, a condition that is otherwise known as premature ejaculation.

Men experience premature ejaculation when semen leaves the body during sex before it is intended. One frequent sexual complaint is premature ejaculation (PE). One in three individuals claims to experience it occasionally. If premature ejaculation occurs frequently, it shouldn’t be a cause for concern.

There is no defined period of time during sex when men should ejaculate, but if you do and then lose your erection, you and your partner may feel that there isn't enough time for enjoying it.

The majority of men ejaculate after 5 to 10 minutes on average during sexual activity, and 5 1/2 minutes on average following penetration, according to a study. Premature ejaculation typically occurs less than 1 to 1 1/2 minutes after penetration. (1)

Premature ejaculation treatments

Premature ejaculation often severely impacts a man's confidence, leaving him worried and understandably frustrated. It is not exactly clear what causes Premature ejaculation.

Initially, it was believed that psychological factors including hurried experiences, feelings of excitement, or guilt caused premature ejaculation. It is now believed to be a result of a combination of psychological and biological causes. Premature ejaculation medications, available exclusively on prescription, can treat and manage it.

Here we take a look into the options available for men suffering from premature ejaculation:

Premature ejaculation pills

A commonly prescribed medication for premature ejaculation is a tablet called Priligy.

A Priligy tablet contains the active ingredient "dapoxetine," which is a member of the class of drugs known as "selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs)".

The time it takes to ejaculate is prolonged with Priligy, which also helps with ejaculation control. This might ease your frustration or stress about ejaculating quickly.

Premature ejaculation in adult men between the ages of 18 and 64 is treated with Priligy.

How to take Priligy tablets?

Priligy tablets can be taken orally, with or without food. Although it is recommended that Priligy is taken with at least a full glass of water.

You should take one tablet between 1 – 3 hours before sexual activity – only one tablet should be taken in a 24-hour period.

These tablets come in Priligy 30mg and Priligy 60mg tablet strengths, you should start on the 30mg dose to avoid unwanted side effects then make the decision to increase your dose to 60mg depending on your individual response.

Priligy is a prescription-only medicine and the doctor will evaluate your suitability for the tablets, you can find more information on whether you’re suitable for Priligy here.

Does Priligy work?

Priligy is a medication that contains dapoxetine hydrochloride, a short-acting selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI). Serotonin is a neurotransmitter produced by our nerve cells that helps to regulate mood, emotion, and sleep, as well as playing a role in wound healing and bone health. In the case of ejaculation, higher levels of serotonin can delay orgasm onset. Priligy works by inhibiting the reabsorption of serotonin by nerve cells, resulting in more serotonin being available to transmit signals. This medication is also used to treat depression, anxiety, and mood disorders. Dapoxetine is designed to act fast, allowing men to have greater control over their ejaculation.
