Horny describes being sexually aroused or easily become sexually aroused. Being horny is a natural part of human sexuality, but it can sometimes bring up unwanted feelings when you’re trying to concentrate on work or something else. Feelings of sexual desire can also trigger a more distressing internal experience for some people.
Thinking about sex is also completely natural, even if you seem to do it at odd times (when you’re grocery shopping, for example). It can be useful, too, since it lets you know who you’re attracted to and can help you decide when you want to have sex with someone.
What is Viagra?
Viagra is a brand-name version of the generic drug sildenafil. It’s a phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitor. PDE5 is an enzyme that regulates certain chemicals in your blood, but as a result can make it harder for you to get and keep an erection. Viagra is used to treat erectile dysfunction (ED). While it helps you temporarily maintain an erection so you can have sex, it doesn’t cure ED. It doesn’t affect sexual desire either. You still need mental or physical stimulation to get an erection.
On average, Viagra usually lasts between 2 and 3 hours before its effects start to diminish. Viagra can last up to 5 hours or longer depending on your dosage, your body’s metabolism, and other external factors. Depending on how your body metabolizes it, you may be able to get an erection several times with Viagra in your body. Viagra probably won’t make you last longer in bed, though. No research has proven definitively that Viagra can increase how long you can have sex.
Viagra may not work again immediately after you’ve had sex. Normally, you can’t get another erection right after ejaculating because your body isn’t physically prepared for it. This is known as the refractory period. It may only last a few minutes, but it can last as long as a few hours or days. However, a 2000 study found that Viagra may decrease this recovery time.

Can any factors affect how long it lasts?
Several important factors can influence how long Viagra lasts for you:
Dosage: The amount of Viagra you take affects how long it stays in your system. The smallest available dose, 25 milligrams (mg), won’t last as long as the largest available dose, 100 mg. But taking a higher dose isn’t always recommended, as it may not be safe for you.
Age: As you get older, your metabolism slows down. So Viagra may last longer as you age. In general, you may notice Viagra works for a longer period when you’re 65 or older.
Diet and lifestyle: Eating a large meal or a lot of high-fat foods right before you take Viagra can keep it from being metabolized quickly or effectively. But this can also make it last longer as it’s metabolized along with your meal. Drinking alcohol or smoking can also decrease blood flow to your penis, making Viagra less effective or shorter-lasting.
Medications: Some medications, especially antibiotics such as erythromycin (Ery-Tab), clarithromycin (Biaxin), and ciprofloxacin (Cipro), can interact with Viagra and affect how long it lasts.
Overall health: Certain existing conditions can affect how long Viagra lasts and how well it works for you. Diabetes, nervous system conditions like multiple sclerosis (MS), and heart conditions like atherosclerosis (fat buildup in your blood vessels) can all make Viagra less effective and not last as long. Some kidney conditions may make Viagra last longer because of the condition’s effect on your metabolism.
Psychological state: Feeling anxious, nervous, depressed, or stressed can all influence how your body responds to sexual stimulation. If you’re not relaxed or comfortable during sex, or if you have performance anxiety because of past sexual experiences, Viagra may not last long or be fully effective.
Does Viagra Make You Horny?
Viagra offers a quick fix for many men with erection problems, whether the cause is physical or psychological. Men with no real problems getting hard use these drugs too, to boost their sexual performance, especially if they are on chems that make getting erections difficult. However, Viagra does not make you horny or honier. They only begin to work after you get turned on. Some men say their hard-ons have less feeling and that coming is more difficult, but that after they’ve come they can get hard again quicker.
In addition it is important to also note that Viagra does NOT make girls horny, The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has not approved Viagra for use in women. But your doctor can prescribe it for off-label use. Nevertheless, the New York Post reports that the female Viagra Addyi makes you so horny you want to jump everyone’s bones.
