Ok other than the obvious benefits viagra allows you to dilate your blood vessels(allowing more oxygen) with nitric oxide. Watermelon produces the amino arginine, which is required to make nitric oxide.There are no conclusive tests yet that arganine will affect you in the *humph* way, but its definitely a precursor.Also watermelon is low in calories and it has potassium(which lowers stress levels) and the phytonutrients lycopene(prevent heart and kidney disease, the decay of the brain and nervous system as a result of aging, fighting cancerous cells to prevent DNA damage and cellular damage from aging) and beta-carotene(which turns into retinol, helps prevent night blindness, eye problems and skin disorders. Oh also an antioxidant as well so helps fight the aging process). Thats about all I can cover.
