Are you having difficulty in the bedroom? Is there a lack of lead in the pencil when you need it the most? If there is, Viagra may be the solution for you. Men everywhere are trying it to prolong their active sex life and help offset the effects of stressful lifestyles filled with high cholesterol and poor exercise habits. If you want to know if it's the right choice for you there are a few simple steps you need to follow before taking it.

The first and most important of these preliminary steps is to consult your doctor and make sure you're physically fit enough for Viagra. If you are under forty and having problems there may be other factors causing it. Erectile dysfunction is usually caused by a restriction of blood flow to the male area but may be stress or nutrition related. It can also be a side effect of prostate problems.

Once your doctor has determined that you're just getting older and need a little help it's time to ask questions about where to buy Viagra. Even with a prescription and good health insurance it's expensive at normal retail pharmacies. Online pharmacies are more affordable but you need to make sure that the one you're buying from is credible. A good way of knowing is by looking at the prices. Viagra is $20-$25 a pill in a regular pharmacy. Those who sell it for $2.00 are peddling an inferior product most likely produced in a country with no government pharmaceutical regulations.

After your physical examination and some shopping around for the best deal, you might want to let your partner in on the secret. Viagra takes an hour to kick in so spontaneous sex at a time when you haven't taken a pill can lead to discomfort for both parties. If you tell your wife or significant other that you're taking Viagra and she says "Take a pill now", you know you're going to have a great night. And so will she. You can definitely count on seeing a smile on her face after she sees what you can do now with the help of your new little blue friend.
