> I'm pretty sure you don't just get random erections unless you're engaged in activity that you find sexually stimulating

I think that's the case for Cialis but Viagra should make you "pop" regardless of what activity you're doing.

That’s not how it works at all. As someone with recent onset of ED taking viagra regularly, it’s been fantastic but it just makes me function like I should.

It takes about an hour to take effect (usually less for me) and lasts a little over 4 hours with some lingering effects for several hours later, with diminishing effects towards the 4 and above hours.

If I’m sexually stimulated during that time physically and or mentally, everything works like it should (erection). If during that time even when I would normally see peak effects around the 50 min to 90 min mark I’m driving or doing taxes or whatever non-sexually stimulating activity one might do, no erection at all.

You don’t get turned on by Schedule K-1 Form 1065? Nothing gets me hornier than correctly accounting for capital equipment depreciation.

No it doesn't. It simply makes the effect of sexual stimulation more effective. If you body is not trying to engorge the penis it has little to no effect on that part of you.

At least that is my experience of taking it.
