A good advice for young people would be not to take Viagra or any other erection aiding drugs, unless there is a medical condition involved. Erectile dysfunction in young people is very often psychological, and has nothing to do with your physical health, thus it is psychosomatic. Viagra cannot be taken for psychological reasons, or for reasons of therapy, because in this case a patient may become addicted to the notion of taking an ED pill and may make it part of personality, which is a wrong way to go. Developing erection difficulties at elderly age is understandable, and in this case it is age related, so Viagra may be very helpful, but it is not the case for young people. Always visit a doctor, and, if a physician does not find an underlying cause of erectile dysfunction, it is a good idea to seek psychological help.
