Does Viagra Make You Last Longer?

Viagra can only help you last longer in bed if you find it difficult to get an erection, or you are losing your erection too quickly. This is called erectile dysfunction.

You may also lose your erection after orgasming, and find it difficult to get another erection for a while. This is completely normal, and is called the refractory period. Viagra can help you last longer by reducing your refractory period, which means that you can have sex again more quickly after you have orgasmed.

Viagra is only approved for treating erectile dysfunction. If you need help lasting longer in bed for a different reason, you might need another treatment. Other reasons people might need help lasting longer in bed include:

Orgasming too early during sex (premature ejaculation) – Some studies suggest that Viagra may be able to help with premature ejaculation, but there is not enough evidence to support treating premature ejaculation with Viagra alone.

Low sex drive – Viagra only works when you’re already aroused and doesn’t increase sex drive

Low stamina – Viagra doesn’t improve physical fitness, and can’t help if you’re getting tired during sex

There are other medications available to treat premature ejaculation. For more information, see the section below on “How Else Can I Last Longer in Bed?”.

Why isn’t Viagra meant to treat premature ejaculation?

Premature ejaculation has a number of possible causes, such as performance anxiety, increased sensitivity, and heightened stress levels. However, lack of blood flow to the penis does not cause you to orgasm too quickly, so Viagra isn’t an effective treatment for premature ejaculation.

Why doesn’t Viagra make you more aroused?

Viagra does not stimulate you sexually, it can only help you get an erection once you’re already aroused. Because Viagra only helps you to get an erection by improving blood flow to the penis, it doesn’t force you to get an erection, so it won’t work unless you’re sexually stimulated.

Does Viagra make you bigger?

Viagra will only make your penis bigger if you aren’t able to get completely hard on your own. Viagra won’t make your penis larger, and it won’t increase the maximum size of your erection. The only way to increase your penis size is through surgery, which is not always successful and has low patient satisfaction levels.

If you’re losing your erection during sex, Viagra can make keeping erections easier for 4 to 6 hours. If Viagra works for you, then you won’t have an erection for the whole 4 to 6 hours, you’ll just find getting and keeping them is easier during this window.

Studies show that the amount of Viagra in your system is highest 30 to 120 mins after you take it. Viagra has a half-life of 3 to 5 hours which means after 3 to 5 hours, more than half of your dose of Viagra will have left your system.

You can still lose your erection after orgasm

Viagra doesn’t stop your erection going down after you ejaculate, so you’ll likely lose your erection after you do. If you are having trouble orgasming too early then you may need separate treatment for premature ejaculation.

You can get more than one erection while on Viagra. If you ejaculate and there’s still some time left for your Viagra to work, you could still be able to get another erection. You may have to wait a short time between one erection and the next, as you would do normally after ejaculating. You will also need to be sexually aroused.
