Viagra (sildenafil citrate) is an excellent drug when it comes to engineering erections. Youopen up a pill, and if the pill was in an adequate dosage, then, an erection is quite certain, in about an hour later.
With Tongkat ali you cannot do this. You will have to take it for some time, and then, there will be an overall improvement to your sex life: and because of increased excitability, better libido, better erections, and better orgasms.
If I take a sufficient dosage of (let us say: 100 mg), then I can have sex with a woman I do not really find attractive (probably even with a prostitute). I can have sex with her, because I have an erection (which does not mean that I necessarily would enjoy it). In fact, on a sufficient dosage of Viagra, I can have an erection just by rubbing my member for a minute or two, without a woman around, and without having sexual thoughts.
Now, if the mission is some mere plumbing (increased penile inflow, reduced penile outflow), then Viagra is the suitable tool. But there is more to excellent sex than is provided by a good erection. First thing is, I want to feel the desire. I highly consider valuable sexual desire as more appropriate than easy erections.
So far as that is concerned, one can have great sex even with a weak erection. In such a way, one has to learn this. Most men, especially when they are not yet in their 50's or 60's, sort-of panic when they are with a sex partner and an erection does not automatically happen (as it used to). On the contrary a proper erection is required for standard penetrative sex, for a satisfying orgasm, an erection is not a prerequisite. For an orgasm, not even much of an ejaculation is essential.
Orgasms are an affair of sexual wiring. Not of sexual plumbing.
Physiologically, they are signaled by a sudden dominance of the sympathetic nervous system, at the same time during arousal (and the erective state), the parasympathetic nerves system ruled.
Sympathetic nerve impulses, whether in context with an orgasm or caused by other events ( fear, panicking, nervousness, alertness, or simply stress), are always anti-erectile and anti-arousal.
This is the reason why, men who are afraid of not producing an automatic erection when with a woman, go into a vicious circle: they are feared of not having a proper erection, which positioned the sympathetic nervous system in command, and because the sympathetic nervous system is in command, they will be even less likely to have an erection. Then they fear, and now they could not achieve an erection even when on 200 mg of Viagra.
For some reason, if they take the Viagra about an hour before being called to sexual duty, they will inclined to start out with a sufficient erection, which gives them self-confidence (which supports the parasympathetic nervous system), which will put them in a position where they will be capable of maintaining their erection.
Doesn't that sound great? Unfortunately, no.
The reason for this analysis (which will surely appear strange to a great number of readers): if you over-emphasize the parasympathetic nervous system, then your sympathetic nervous system will be depressed, or at least handicapped. And this means: your orgasmic capacity will be diminished.
I begin on the sexual enhancement trail with yohimbine. That is an alpha adrenergic receptor blocker, especially in the pelvic area. Alpha adrenergic receptors are a major gateway for sympathetic tone in the abdomen (sympathetic tone can be caused either directly by sympathetic nerve impulses, or by adrenaline (epinephrine), released from the adrenal medullas upon sympathetic stimulation). If you block pelvic alpha adrenergic receptors, you minimize any effect the sympathetic nervous system (directly or via the release of adrenaline) can exert in this part of the body.
(Please be aware that I have written dozens of articles on sexual enhancement over the past 10 years. Because my opinion on certain agents of sexual enhancement has developed as I have been experimenting along, there are discrepancies between older and newer articles. Obviously, articles with a more current date will represent more current research and opinion. Therefore, please always read the datelines.)
I can proceed without the Viagra when I am with a girlfriend that has a good sexual technique. Without Viagra (but on tongkat ali), erections may not be as quick as they are on Viagra, or on a combination of Viagra and tongkat ali. They may [require] call for some "manipulation" or "handling" of my member. But I really enjoy sex (and a great erection !) for a longer time when on tongkat ali ( ans it also helps, men with a premature ejaculation problem will probably benefit from tongkat ali, too), and I have the [most] great powerful orgasms of my whole life.
As far as what it proves, you may be surprised to know that I judge tongkat ali to be superior to Viagra not primarily because of the different efficacies.

I will explain to you the difference between natural substances and xenobiotics is that natural substances have been part of the human environment for hundreds, thousands, and even millions of years. If we are going back to know, all life forms on earth are related to each other. Testosterone is a masculinizing hormone not just in humans, but in all mammals. And the nervous systems of humans and fish, and of humans and chickens are organized in basically the same way which open for impulse conduction, based on ion channels.
During that time some substances in the natural world are poisons to some life forms, all life forms are distinctively adapted to a very big number of chemical substances that are part of their environment.
Xenobiotics are manmade chemicals that are not part of the natural environment of any life form.
When in fact xenobiotics may have an ameliorating effect on some conditions or diseases, it can securely be assumed that approximately at all times, they will in some way negatively affect homeostasis. The negative effects will maybe only show after years of use, and they may be seen in an unexpected context. But they are real, and they can be traced, with enough research.
Xenobiotics very common effect is that they are carcinogenous. Or that they interfere with sexual function. Just lately, it has been discovered that Ibuprofen a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs(NSAIDs) (which has been used by millions for many, many years) remarkably increase the risk of heart attacks. And dopaminergics such as cabergoline and bromocriptine can, when taken for years, cause pleural thickening, thus making pulmonary respiration a painful exercise. Who would want this?
It makes me laugh when so-called life extensionists or "experts" of anti-aging medicine recommend a regimen of a whole assortment of xenobiotic pharmaceutical products. Xenobiotic pharmaceutical products are suggested in the treatment of certain medical conditions for which they can bring good relief. They aren't advisable for a long-term strategy to improve overall health. Which is why most xenobiotic pharmaceuticals properly are prescription drugs. They are useful only in a perfect limited sense, At same time I grant that educated non-physicians can make an better choice on their use, a lot many other people must only use them on the advice of a MD because their unrealistic expectations will unfortunately not be met by the drug.
The latest direction in pharmaceutical advertising (e.g. on the Internet) is that the drug companies target the consumer openly by advising that patients request certain medications from their doctors. The net effect of such advertising is that many misled consumers will not go to their physicians to purchase these drugs. Outside of Western Europe and North America, prescription laws are rarely enforced, so European and US citizens on holiday often use stock up when traveling abroad. Moreover, even US citizens can buy whatever medications they want from overseas sources such as Online Mexican pharmacies, or from Masters Marketing in the UK.
Long duration use of xenobiotics is the improper scheme for a long-term improvement of one's health. Proper strategies are based on the rejection for the event or outcome that impair one's health, on proper nutrition, and on the use of herbal supplement (which are a form of nutrition, e.g. the consumption of brazil nuts to guard against a variety of cancers, or green tea for problems of alertness, or Tongkat ali for sexual function).
A manmade xenobiotic, called Sildenafil citrate. It does not occur in the normal world. Although sildenafil citrate without any failure works in causing erections, it isn't a medication that would be recommended for day-to-day use to improve one's overall health. Which is why the Viagra package insert (which had to be approved by the FDA) surely advices that the drug is not for everyday use.
Tongkat ali is our best option, if the aim is a long-term overall improvement of sexual health and sexual capacity. It has been part of the human Southeast Asian habitat for millions of years and it has been used in Southeast Asia for thousands of years, As a matter of fact, our ancestors have always been exposed to it, and adaptation has taken place. Although the effects of tongkat ali may not be as dramatic as the effects of Viagra on a single-use basis, tongkat ali is superior to Viagra because it is suited for a long-term strategy to improve sexual health.
