Bob,
I don't doubt that Viagra helps some with SSRI anorgasmia. Some controlled studies have
demonstrated as much. I can't figure it out, though. This whole atavistic caveman
thing is very interesting. I used to work in a lab that studied protein kinase C, and
when I first heard about sildenafil, I imagined inhibition of cGMP metabolism could
affect all kinds of things. I understand now the enzyme it affects is found primarily
in smooth muscle, but not exclusively. And anyway, these second messengers can diffuse.
In the end, who knows what Viagra is doing?Unfortunately, not much for me.
