Physiology >>> Drugs: Rx meds (tools which influence body behavior in some way) outcome depends mostly on situation before. ↑ BP due to constricting arterioles, body wide, with same cardiac output. BP meds either ↓ heart output (not good) or, in some way, ↓ arteriole constriction, despite orders from brain (anger, frustration, fear +/- pain) to the contrary. Erection requires enough ↑ blood flow to penis, else no go.
