Guess it gets the blood flowing in the right places! :p
Sildenafil (Viagra) works by adjusting blood flow, and in the body, it acts mostly as a Vasodilator (something that promotes the dilatation of blood vessels.). Dilatation being the condition of being stretched or enlarged beyond normal dimensions especially as a result of overwork.

This commonly causes flushing, and the blood goes into blood vessels that are more open than usual. The heart will be affected. Blood pressure drops on average 6 points systolic and 4 points diastolic. In some people who take it, this can lead to palpitation by the heart as it beats more forcefully and quickly.

I know that it's a terrible pun........................................but the lengths that men go to.

So excellent a king, that was to this
Hyperion to a satyr...Heaven and earth,
Must I remember? Why, she should hang on him
As if increase of appettite had grown
By what it fed on.... ---HAMLET

Silver medallist Poland's Maria Andrejczyk celebrates on the podium during the victory ceremony for the women's javelin throw event during the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games at the Olympic Stadium in Tokyo.

After the games, she auctioned her medal to raise more than $100,000 to help a child from her home country receive life-saving heart surgery. The funds raised will pay for 8-year-old Miloszek Malysa to receive surgery at California's Stanford University Medical Centre.

Andrejczyk said her medal was: "only an object," but it can be of great value to others.

bump.
This is good news indeed. Incredibly good news, and a long time in coming. If you live in the tropics, the news doesn’t get much bigger than this.
But why is such good news so under-reported?

And —in unrelated news— obesity rate in U.S. drops for first time ever:

We also still have the Sekt- or foam wine - tax in place that once has been introduced to fund the Kaiser‘s fleet…:D

Some things are truly universal. Income tax in the UK was introduced in 1798 to help fund the British military against the French.
