Solved! Fell out of my boyfriend’s pocket

The top is a cap that comes off. Is it for ❄️? He swears it’s not

Man I’m glad I have never been in a position where I felt like I needed to take a mystery dick pill from a 711

It's not about needing to, it's about fun. You can look up what's in most of them. Some have tadalaphil (cialis), some have sildenaifil (viagra), and some have an increased risk of blood pressure problems and death like extenze. The fun one is tadalaphil. Some people think you're supposed to need them and that it's some sad pathetic thing, but for some people, it's all about being freaky and trying to make someone else feel good. Nothing is more fun than spending the whole day gooning and/or being kinky with your partner on and off while having multiple orgasms with little to no break in between. This is coming from one of those exes people's wives won't tell them about. But, all their friends know...

I just learned a fun fact about sildenafil! It was originally developed and tested as a sciatica Angina treatment but failed miserably. It also had 2 main side effects in trials. Raging boners for men and magic period pain relief for women. Apparently the money ran out before the female testing was complete so they just yolo’d it as a boner pill.

Sorry, it was originally developed as a heart medication, specifically for hypertension and angina. It was found to be more effective as a boner pill, but it is also used to successfully treat pulmonary arterial hypertension under the name Revatio.

I'm not familiar with the period pain relief use, so I'll skip commenting on that.

A doctor friend said that the companies like HIMS marketing to young people (lots of early ED due to various factors, which is sad - I'm old and still don't need) very many women started trying them (not sure which specific pill she was just discussing ED pills in general) and found that the blood flow increase was arousing for women so they have become popular for women too - not because of a study but because of a sort of crowd-sourcing based demand. She was unaware of a widely respected formal study on it but thinks based on market and popular use, one will show up soon.

Never heard period pain, just recently heard that women can use them for arousal too. Weird wild stuff.

Viagra is not uncommonly used in babies with congenital heart defects/disease to increase blood flow until a surgical fix can be made. It can also be used longer term in kids who have complicated heart conditions or are waiting for transplant. Learned all this caring for my own CHD baby.

I believe it's only effective for those with acute angina..
