Ummm...just a question, but, testing Viagra on mice: Viagra supposedly only works as an enhancement and the subject must still be sexually stimulated for the erection to occur. How do you go about getting a mouse hot and bothered to test whether or not the Viagra is working?

I think the nasal stuff would create even more adverse effects as it would lead to a much more rapid drop in blood pressure rather than a slow absorption via the GI tract. Also, exact dosing would be difficult. Probably why Pfizer is not interested.
