Is there anything wrong with taking Viagra if I don’t need it?

Viagra works by increasing bloodflow to the penis. If everything is in working order, Viagra won't help — it's not an aphrodisiac or a magical stamina booster. Besides the headaches and painfully persistent erections (you can have too much of a good thing), doctors also worry that men may develop a psychological dependence on medication they don't need, eventually making it difficult to maintain an erection without the drug.

Bottomline: No plumbing problems, no point. Drugs like Viagra may help many men, but it's best to wait until you need them.
