Erection drugs augment sexual performance, not self esteem
Thu, 12 July 2007
Erection medicines might work wonder in bed, but neither uplift male self esteem nor a sense of masculinity, says report of the latest survey. According to the latest survey, men with erectile dysfunction have pitiable self esteem and feeble sense of masculinity, but they are not inferior to men having erection drugs such as Viagra. Conducted on 650 Australian men, it was found during this study that men treated with Viagra were not better off than those who were not ingesting erection drugs.
The study shows that these medications are not a magical pill for the improvement of men’s sex life," said lead researcher and psychologist Hayley Matic.
The findings of the research will be published in the International Journal of Impotence Research. The research’s findings challenge other drug studies believing in the power of erection drugs for general wellbeing.
The research team examined 400 men who were suffering from erectile dysfunction (ED) and also applied erection drug for the treatment, and 250 men having normal sexual function.
Researchers noticed that men with erection problems had appreciably poor self esteem, and weak sense of masculinity. But men having erections drugs were also not found in better position when it comes to self esteem and sense of masculinity. Erection medications, also known as PDE5 inhibitors, had endowed men with better sexual function, but not with overall vigorous sexual health.
"On the whole, wellbeing was not found superior in the men who utilized medical interventions for the cure of erectile dysfunction," Dr Matic stated.
"In fact, there was no disparity in the reports, in spite of the application of erection drugs.” Dr. Matic added.
