		<description>Each of the three drugs  Viagra, Cialis and Levitra - is similar yet different. Efficacy is approximately 70% with all three drugs but it also depends on the person as well as food you are eating and drinking. 
As for me Cialis is the best one  as it is not affected by any food whatsoever. In fact it can be taken with pure fat and alcohol. Viagra should be taken on empty stomach and NO alcohol! Levitra absorption is affected by a very high fat diet and NO alcohol as well. Moreover Cialis  actual lasts up to 36 hours, but only when you need it.</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve taken Viagra and Levitra and didn&#039;t notice any difference in my erections but Levitra seems to take longer to work. I&#039;d like to  try the daily dose of Cialis but can&#039;t afford it. My penis pump works just as good as any of them and it works in seconds. &quot;HARD AS A ROCK&quot;!</description>

		<description>Of those three, for us (my partner and I) Viagra was best as far as best erection, when he has had some minor ED problems. But we found some natural means that work just as well without the side effects.

He is taking L-Arginine and pycnogenol daily,  and Icariin sometimes a couple of hours before (horny goat weed has icariin in it) Icariin is a pde5 inhibitor just like viagra, just weaker. I did some research and found studies from the national institute of health library and followed those regimes. 

Here&#039;s one study:

Treatment of erectile dysfunction with pycnogenol and L-arginine.

Seminological Laboratory SBALAG, Maichin Dom, Sofia, Bulgaria. rstanik@abv.bg
Abstract

Penile erection requires the relaxation of the cavernous smooth muscle, which is triggered by nitric oxide (NO). We investigated the possibility of overcoming erectile dysfunction (ED) by increasing the amounts of endogenous NO. For this purpose, we orally administered Pycnogenol, because it is known to increase production of NO by nitric oxide syntase together with L-arginine as substrate for this enzyme. The study included 40 men, aged 25-45 years, without confirmed organic erectile dysfunction. Throughout the 3-month trial period, patients received 3 ampoules Sargenor a day, a drinkable solution of the dipeptide arginyl aspartate (equivalent to 1.7 g L-arginine per day). During the second month, patients were additionally supplemented with 40 mg Pycnogenol two times per day; during the third month, the daily dosage was increased to three 40-mg Pycnogenol tablets. We obtained a sexual function questionnaire and a sexual activity diary from each patient. After 1 month of treatment with L-arginine, a statistically nonsignificant number of 2 patients (5%) experienced a normal erection. Treatment with a combination of L-arginine and Pycnogenol for the following month increased the number of men with restored sexual ability to 80%. Finally, after the third month of treatment, 92.5% of the men experienced a normal erection. We conclude that oral administration of L-arginine in combination with Pycnogenol causes a significant improvement in sexual function in men with ED without any side effects.

And another one:

Abstract
AIM:

To clarify the mechanism of the therapeutic action of icariin on erectile dysfunction (ED).
METHODS:

PDE5 was isolated from the human platelet and PDE4 from the rat liver tissue using the FPLC system (Pharmacia, Milton Keynes, UK) and the Mono Q column. The inhibitory effects of icariin on PDE5 and PDE4 activities were investigated by the two-step radioisotope procedure with [(3)H]-cGMP/[(3)H]-cAMP. Papaverine served as the control drug.
RESULTS:

Icariin and papaverine showed dose-dependent inhibitory effects on PDE5 and PDE4 activities. The IC(50) of Icariin and papaverine on PDE5 were 0.432 micromol/L and 0.680 micromol/L, respectively and those on PDE4, 73.50 micromol/L and 3.07 micromol/L, respectively. The potencies of selectivity of icariin and papaverine on PDE5 (PDE4/PDE5 of IC(50)) were 167.67 times and 4.54 times, respectively.
CONCLUSION:

Icariin is a cGMP-specific PDE5 inhibitor that may be developed into an oral effective agent for the treatment of ED.

		<description>awe its really cute :)
but the definition according to...

dictionary.com: virility drug (trade name Levitra) used to treat erectile dysfunction in men

urbandictionary.com: 1.) A prescription drug used for erectile disfunction disorder. According to the commercials it gives a man a strong lasting errection.  2.) the product with the annoying-sounding wanna-assimilate?-mexican-woman in the commerical.

and google translate: Levitra is english, so it cannot be translated.

sooo i think it is for the drug. and if its not, and it DOES mean something else i reallyyyyyyyy doubt people will think of the other definition when they look at it. I mean if the drug is the first thing that you thought of, and what both of the websites say it means then thats most likeyyy what other people will think when they see it. aaand thatll look really bad for your girlfriend.

so even though it could mean something else, and even though its cute, i would keep looking for something else. the idea of a key chain is a really good idea though! good luck!! :)</description>

http://dict.hinkhoj.com/meaning-of-LEVITRA-in-hindi.html

both this 2 sites i&#039;ve visited states that &quot;LEVITRA&quot; mean virility drugs. but (http://www.audioenglish.net/dictionary/levitra.htm) also states that &quot;LEVITRA&quot; is classified under:
nouns denoting man-made objects and very rarely used as a noun.

the key chain looks nice though.</description>
