I’m sure you’ve all read about, or at least have heard about, the big sex scandal that is surrounding Lamar Odom. Before we begin, let’s do a little recap. Mr. Odom had a four-day stay at a legal brothel in Nevada where it was reported that he had been mixing alcohol, cocaine, and herbal Viagra pills. On the fourth day there, Mr. Odom was found unconscious in his bed. In a few of the articles I have read, the brothel owner stated that Mr. Odom had taken about 10 of the herbal Viagra pills within his four-day stay there. This trending story has inspired me to write this blog for you guys on the benefits, as well as the health concerns that come with taking any herbal Viagra supplement.
There are numerous pills out there that are labeled as male sexual enhancement pills, all which are not FDA approved. The main reason why the FDA does not approve these is because they contain an ingredient, which is not listed on the package, called sildenafil, or more commonly known as Viagra. Sildenafil is never listed on the packages because one has to have a prescription from a doctor in order to obtain Viagra; whereas anyone can simply buy an herbal Viagra pill from a gas station or their nearest sex shop.
Lets start with the good news, the advantages to taking an over the counter Viagra. Due to the main ingredient being sildenafil, it will work just like Viagra does. These pills will help increase blood flow to the penis, resulting in a stronger, firmer erection. These pills will also increase the girth size of the penis, again, because the blood vessels running along the shaft are dilating, allowing more blood to flow through. These pills are also known to help increase a man’s stamina; therefore he will be able to last longer than he normally does. Also, after the man ejaculates, these pills will help him regain another erection in less time than it usually takes.
Now on to the bad news…these pills do come with some health and safety concerns. All of these pills are vasodilators, meaning they help the blood vessels expand, which in turn lowers a man’s blood pressure. Most of these pills come with a warning on the back stating that the user should talk to their doctor about taking the pill prior to using them; especially men who are already dealing with high blood pressure, have heart problems, and/or have diabetes. Mixing any other medication, especially pertaining to these health concerns, can be very dangerous, if not fatal. Most of the pill packages even advise not to take more than one pill within a 72hour period—which Mr. Odom exceeded.
All in all, I hope the Lamar Odom scandal didn’t scare anyone away from trying any of the over the counter herbal Viagra pills. I do, however, hope that it has shed some light onto the risks and consequences that can result from not paying attention to the warning labels and not talking to your doctor first. These pills can, after all, help boost a man’s confidence and liven up your sex life!
