Women seek longer-lasting erections
THE erection drug Viagra has been given the thumbs down by women who say they want men to use anti-impotence medication that lasts longer.
New Zealand researchers road-tested two of the biggest-selling drugs on 100 couples affected by erectile dysfunction.
They found women preferred Cialis, which can help men achieve erections during arousal for 36 hours, over Viagra, which works for about four hours.
Previous studies have found men with erection problems also prefer the longer-lasting preparations, but this is the first study to gather women's views on the drugs' performance.
The couples tested each drug for three months, with 80 per cent of the females concluding they preferred the newer generation drug, tadalafil, branded as Cialis in Australia.
Most said they had a more natural or spontaneous sexual experience on the drug.
"The lack of time pressure with the longer-acting medication just seemed to make the women feel more relaxed and less stressed or pressured to get on with things in bed in an allotted time," said University of Waikato researcher Dr Helen Conaglen, who collaborated with her husband, Professor John Conaglen of the University of Auckland.
"As a result of the slower pace, there was more sexual satisfaction and more intimacy and romance."
Just 15 per cent said they preferred sildenafil, an older drug marketed as Viagra, while 5 per cent did not prefer either.
Dr Conaglen said couples responded differently to each drug, with contradicting claims about which was best in various ways, like erection quality.
Erection firmness was not a reason for preferring one drug over another, and many women specified preferring a "less wooden" result.
The study, published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine, was partly funded by Cialis manufacturer Eli Lilly.
About two million Australian men suffer erectile dysfunction, a problem triggered by blood vessel constriction or a blockage limiting penis blood flow.
Viagra and Cialis work in similar ways, both targeting the same enzyme to amplify blood flow to the penis, but Cialis is not metabolised or secreted as quickly.
Neither drug is available on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme to treat erectile dysfunction.
