I'm 16, and I can't seem to keep an erection. I saw some Viagra in my dad's closet; can I just take some of his?

Absolutely not. First of all, you should never take medication if it hasn't been prescribed to you, no matter what it is.

Second, you don't know what's causing your problems. It might not be caused by something physical at all. Erectile dysfunction (when a man cannot get or maintain an erection) has a number of different causes.

With someone as young as you are, you should get checked by your doctor or clinician to see whether anything physical is going on. Remember that our brain is the most powerful sex organ we have--so something as minor as stress can affect your ability to get and keep an erection. So if it keeps happening, get it checked out!

Again, Viagra is not to be toyed with. It's not a simple sex enhancement. Adult and teenage males alike who have abused Viagra have ended up in the emergency room. So leave your dad's--and anyone else's--Viagra alone.
