Q

A

PDE-5 inhibitors such as sildenafil work by preventing the breakdown of cyclic GMP (cGMP), which prolongs the vasodilation effect initiated by nitric oxide. It is important to note that these medications do not produce nitric oxide themselves; they simply extend the effects of NO that has already been generated.

This is one answer. The complete system — the psychology, the biology, and the method — is in the book.
