For men, arousal almost always leads to desire. So by improving a man's ability to have erections, Viagra measurably affects his segxwal function. But arousal and desire are often disconnected in women. Although Viagra can indeed create the outward signs of arousal in many women, it seems to have little effect on a woman's willingness, or desire, to have sex.
More women experience some form of segxwal dysfunction or the other. The disconnection between arousal and desire in many women is said to be so profound that women often don't have any desire for sex until they are physically in the act of lovemaking. The disconnect in many women between genital changes and mental changes does not exist in men. Men consistently get erections in the presence of naked women and want to have sex. With women, things depend on a myriad of factors.
Psychology is one, and is more important in a woman’s segxwality than it is in a man's.
But the real factor in determining desire and segxwal function in women is hormone levels.
But there are hopes that Viagra could help some women. For instance, women who once had normal segxwal function but then suddenly lost all desire - often as a result of taking antidepressants - can be helped by Viagra. But women who have always had low libido levels are unaffected by Viagra.
The conclusion is that getting a woman to connect arousal and desire requires exquisite timing on a man's part and a fair amount of coaxing. The search now is to find a pill capable of engendering the perception of intimacy. Viagra works by blocking an enzyme that normally inhibits blood flow, causing penile tissue to swell. The enzyme is found in great quantities in the male sex organ and is also found in the pelvic region of women.
