Viagra helps men deal with ED symptoms and improve their sex life. At the same time, like any drug, it requires following the instructions: taking the blue pill 30–60 minutes before sex. And what happens if you take Viagra and you don’t need it? For example, you cancel date or have other things to do.

Before answering this question, we need to explain the mechanism of action of Viagra. This drug belongs to the group of PDE-5 inhibitors causing good blood flow in the penis. It makes an erection possible. But the pill only works if you are sexually aroused. It has no effect by itself. So, if you cancel a date after taking Viagra, you are unlikely to get a full erection.

What should be your fear if the drug turned out to be unnecessary? You may only have mild side effects that go away quickly. You should not be afraid of having to deal with an erection if you are not sexually aroused. An exception may be a pathological erection known as priapism, but an overdose of the drug rarely causes it.

Can I do it, and how much Viagra should I take for fun

Millions of men around the world use Viagra to improve their sex life. Most of them take the drug as prescribed by the doctor and get the desired effect. How justified is using Viagra for fun?

According to a study, 4% of men used Viagra off-label, and 70% just wanted to know how the drug works. Others wanted to increase an erection or impress a sexual partner. Most respondents got Viagra from their friends without going to the doctor for a prescription.

Why is it dangerous? And is it true that taking half a Viagra for fun will not harm your health in any way? This use of the drug has several pitfalls:

• Side effects that largely depend on your health;
• Incompatibility of Viagra with other medicines you take;
• Risk of combination with alcohol or other stimulants;
• Having doubts about your sexual abilities in the future.

Many men who regularly took Viagra when they did not need it later reported feeling insecure without the blue pill. As a result, they got less pleasure from sex and observed other symptoms of erectile dysfunction.

In this situation, one can compare Viagra to a crutch that a healthy person does not need. However, if you walk, leaning on it, gradually, you will no longer be able to do without it.

Conclusion

Viagra has a rather long list of side effects. So, you should not take the drug without a prescription.

It helps men with ED, but it can even be dangerous for healthy men in certain situations. At best, you can have side effects, and at worst, you can get addicted to the drug.

Regular use of Viagra without medical reasons can negatively affect your sex life in the long term and lead to psychogenic ED.
