In2theknight: If you consider how Viagra works (by influencing blood flow) it seems implausible. Things that make for compelling TV aren’t necessarily the best health information in the real world.

I’m not going to lie to you. Travel to Europe from the West Coast of the US can be taxing. You’re talking seven time zones. My advice would be to try to alter your sleep pattern to UK time in the days before you depart. Sleep on the plane if you can. Eat lightly on the flight. Avoid alcohol and coffee. Don’t forget to stay hydrated and take aspirin to prevent blood clots. Keep your schedule light for the first day of your trip there as you will be tired/groggy/grumpy.

I used to live/work in London. It is a marvelous city. If you’re going abroad for the first time I can’t imagine a better place to start. Have safe travels.
