Premature ejaculation (PE) is one of the most common forms of sexual dysfunction. About 39% of men have this problem.

Doctors prescribe selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors and erectile dysfunction drugs such as Sildenafil for its treatment.

Dr Jill Johnson, known for her lectures on intensive care, emergency care and air medicine, confirms that no large-scale studies conclusively prove that Sildenafil does treat premature ejaculation. However, many scientists believe that it may have a positive effect on slowing down orgasm and delaying ejaculation.

Sildenafil and premature ejaculation study

However, there are still some small studies on this subject.

One of the studies, which lasted 6 months and included 180 men with premature ejaculation, gave promising conclusions.

According to scientists, Sildenafil is very effective and safe for treating premature ejaculation and has a much higher potential than Paroxetine and the compression technique.

Does Sildenafil make you bigger?

It is the expected effect. The more the arousal, the more blood flows to the penis and the more its size increases.

Sildenafil contributes to the active filling of the penis with blood. And additional physical or mental stimulation can cause the penis to be larger (and harder) than usual.

But surely, the drug doesn’t increase the size of your penis permanently.

At the same time, you should remember that rare side effects of Sildenafil include swelling of the genitals, including the penis.

Does Sildenafil make you last longer?

Sildenafil increases blood flow to the soft, erectile tissue and blood vessels of your penis. This makes it easier to achieve and maintain an erection. It can also lead to harder erections. However, no studies prove that Sildenafil helps you to spend more time in bed.

But one small study did give encouraging results. The Journal of Sexual Medicine published it in 2005. According to the study, men taking Sildenafil experienced a slight increase in time to ejaculation. But it wasn’t statistically significant compared to those who took the placebo.

Is it helpful to take Sildenafil before a workout?

On bodybuilding forums, there is a popular theory that taking erectile dysfunction drugs like Sildenafil can improve your results in the gym. Brandon Marshall, the Chicago Bears wide receiver, even claimed that some players in the NFL take Viagra to enhance their results on the football field.

Several small studies partially support this theory. They refer mainly to athletes such as cyclists or long-distance runners. Sildenafil helps them by delivering more oxygen to their muscles.

According to a 2013 study, Sildenafil increases muscle protein synthesis and reduces muscle fatigue.

Conclusion

Sildenafil demonstrated positive effects in various areas:

• Delay ejaculation;
• Temporarily increase penis size;
• Increase sex time;
• Improve the sports results.

However, studies say you can’t consider the drug’s effect stable and massive in none of these areas.
