   Chemically, it does exactly the same thing to women that it does to men - it makes nitric oxide more available in the genital tissues.

   For men, this makes it easier for their penises to get and stay erect, but for women the effect is a bit different:

   The extra blood that’s available for engorgement makes a woman’s clitoris and labia a little more swollen than would normally happen and that makes them a little more sensitive to stimulation… and the blood that engorges the vaginal lining is the source of some extra lubricating fluids that will be available - so she’ll be wetter/slipperier than usual too.

   A lot of doctors (even though the FDA hasn’t yet approved it for this use) prescribe the stuff to women who have trouble with lubrication, arousal and/or orgasm due to antidepressant medication side-effects.

   It does *not* make you hornier or change your sex drive at all…. I’ve been taking the stuff for years (I have MS that makes erections difficult for me) and all it does is make it possible for me to get hard when I *am* horny… but it does make you a lot more responsive.

   Viagra is a Vaso-dialator. It opens the blood vessels and increases blood volume. It used to be used on heart patients before it was found to have an interesting side effect in men with erectile dysfunction. It does not make you horny, it is not an aphrodisiac.

   Viagra isn’t just a vasodilator. Yes, Nitric Oxide plays a role in the process, but most importantly it inhibits an enzyme called phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5). This enzyme is what keeps men from getting an erection. So inhibiting the enzyme doesn’t cause an erection, rather it allows you to get one if you are aroused. Some women claim that it works for them (aids in lubrication, etc), but some women claim it didn’t do much.
