ED Drugs May Boost Orgasm Hormone

Viagra, Levitra, And Cialis May Increase Levels Of The Reproductive Hormone Oxytocin

(WebMD)  New research shows that erectile dysfunction drugs such as Viagra, Levitra, and Cialis may increase production of oxytocin, a reproductive hormone released during orgasm.

That news comes from scientists at the University of Wisconsin at Madison. They tested sildenafil (Viagra's active ingredient), vardenafil (Levitra's active ingredient), and a related chemical called T-1032 in lab tests on rats.

The researchers exposed part of the rats' pituitary gland to those chemicals (which are called PDE5 inhibitors) and to mild electrical stimulation. Under those conditions, the rats' pituitary glands produced more oxytocin.

Does that happen in people, too? This study doesn't answer that question.

But that topic deserves further study, since oxytocin is important in various reproductive functions, write researcher Meyer Jackson, Ph.D., and colleagues.

Their study shows no signs of increased oxytocin production without stimulation.

"Erectile dysfunction drugs do not induce erections spontaneously; they enhance the response to sexual stimulation," Jackson states in a news release.

"The same thing is happening in the [rats'] posterior pituitary - Viagra will not induce the release of oxytocin on its own, but it will enhance the amount of release you get in response to electrical stimulation," states Jackson.

Their findings appear in the Aug. 9 advance online edition of the Journal of Physiology.

Some men choose <a href="http://www.onlineclinic.co.uk/cialis.html">Cialis</a> as their impotence treatment because it starts working in 30 minutes and its effects last for 36 hours. Therefore, they do not have to plan their sexual activity around the time of taking impotence treatment. Moreover, as Cialis is available in lower dosage form compared to Viagra, another impotence treatment, more men prefer to take it

Remind anyone of a little thing called ecstacy?

Guys, those of you who use this eventhough you really don''t need to, whatever you do--don''t use Viagra!!! You''ll get that stiffy at any time of the day (for 24 hours after intake) when you truly don''t want it!!! Use Cialis. It''s allows you to hold off until necessarily needed!!!

Wow.. I can see all the sexual predators swallowing these by the pills and a few bateries by the handfuls now..might actually end up causing real chemical castration when it swells up too far and spontainiously combusts. Ends our dilemma of the death penalty, which they all deserve anyways.. Do it yourself kit.
