Who should buy generic Viagra online?
There are five main causes of erectile dysfunction:

The first three causes listed above are physiological and it is these cases where Viagra is most strongly recommended as a treatment. Viagra works by encouraging enzyme production that increases the ability of the tissues in the penis to take in blood. This blood intake is what causes and erection. As such, Sildenafil (Viagra, generic Viagra) is best prescribed to those who have physical problems that are causing the erectile dysfunction.

To have a fully functioning penis it is best to maintain a healthy lifestyle that includes regular exercise, a healthy diet, and moderate intake of possibly harmful substances.
For psychological causes, one should use psychological treatments, such as counselling.
How does Sildenafil work?
An erection is caused when the smooth muscles of the corpus cavernosum (erectile tissues in the penis) become relaxed, allowing increased blood flow to the penis. This process is caused when nitric oxide (NO) binds with the enzyme cGMP. Sildenafil aides this erectile process by inhibiting phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5). Inhibiting PDE5 increases the amount of cGMP, this increasing the ability of the penis to take in blood.
PDE5 inhibitors like Sildenafil only work when the penis is stimulated through physical or psychological/emotional means.
