Advancing the Science of Better Sex

Sexual Health
Sexual health:
Is a state of physical, emotional, mental and social wellbeing in relation to sexuality. It is not merely the absence of disease, dysfunction or infirmity.

Sexual health:
Requires a positive and respectful approach to sexuality and sexual relationships, as well as the possibility of having pleasurable and safe sexual experiences, free of coercion, discrimination and violence.

Erection Distress Scale (EDS)

Patient concerns about erectile problems were assessed using the 5-item, Erection Distress Scale:

Q1 Frustrated: Were you frustrated about your erection problems? Q2 Feeling weighed down: Did you feel weighed down by your erection problems? Q3 Discouraged: Were you discouraged by your erection problems? Q4 Feeling despair: Did you feel despair over your erection problems? Q5 A worry: Were your erection problems a worry in your life?

Responses are rated from 1 (all of the time) to 6 (none of the time); higher scores indicate less impact of ED

What Do Men With ED Want?


Hard, long lasting erections

Consistent, dependable erections


Ability to satisfy themselves and their partners

Self-confidence
There remains high resistance to discussing ED openly or to admitting having ED, which results in delayed treatment or complete avoidance of the problem

Summary
VIAGRA has a unique chemical structure and binding properties

VIAGRA delivers hard, sustained erections


Data presented suggest a link between improved erectile function in men with ED, increased desire for intimacy and increased sexual satisfaction and frequency Hard erections correlate strongly with the emotional benefits of confidence, self-esteem, enjoyment of sex and overall sexual relationship satisfaction Partners of patients treated with VIAGRA report increased levels of satisfaction.

VIAGRA effectively reduced bother as assessed by the Erectile Distress Scale (EDS)
