Actually, they work by relaxing the relevant smooth muscle tissue 
allowing an _increased_ flow of arterial blood to the penis. It's true 
that the (relevant) veins constrict during an erection but this happens 
in any case.

The instructions on some stuff I'm taking for my prostate warn that it 
isn't for use by women or children.
