Has sexual performance always been an issue
or is this a recent thing?

all I see on tv are ads for Cialis, etc.

Am I missing something?

20. Yeah...you know, Duct tape often leaves a residue
it can take something like gasoline or paint thinner to remove it...things can only go downhill from that point...

2. ED is more common 'cause people live longer
and diabetes is rampant

also these sexual impotence drugs have only been around a few years

and prescriptions on tv is not something that has always been around.

:shrug:

my best guess

either that or we are becoming a nation of people who want to have more sex than ever before.

5. I think it's probably one of those things that nobody really talked about.
At least until medical science came up with a way to help fix the problem, and suddenly it was everywhere. I have male friends of all ages (from 22 to mid 60's) who've had at least occasional problems with ED. I was surprised at just how prevalent it really is.

6. What I want to know is...
why at the end of every Cialis commercial, the two people are always sitting in bathtubs in unusual locations...on the deck, beach, etc...and TWO separate bathtubs at that. I hate those friggen commercials for that reason alone

9. Not to make light of the issue...
But one of my greatest fears would be having to take one of those pills and having to "get help immediately if you experience an erection lasting over 4 hours".

Imagine walking into the Emergency Department.

I mean...what do you do? Walk in with a party hat over it or something?

26. I think there are men who, for various reasons, do need drugs like these,
but I also think that the drug companies are making it seem like it's a problem every man has, when of course, that's not true.

Did you know that Viagra was originally synthesized as a drug for angina?

39. No, I didn't know that.
Interesting, since Viagra supposedly can be harmful to men with heart problems.

14. there are a lot of dead rhinos because of this.
I've always hoped these drugs would take some of the pressure off rhino poaching.

19. No. Now it's profitable because there are drugs for it.
So now they're hyping the situation to make it seem like every guy MUST have an erection at all times even into their senior years or it's a medical problem.

22. That actually makes a lot of sense to me.
Maybe Mother Nature has her reasons for not thinking that regular erections in 75 year old men are a good idea. :shrug:

25. Sex is a part of life therefore it is an issue.
http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1200/is_n2_v145/ai_14809314
More men than previously though experience some degree of impotence, report researchers analyzing data from what they describe as the largest sex survey of the general population in 40 years.

In fact, slightly more than half of the 40-to 70-year-old men questioned had trouble getting or keeping an erection at least once in the six months preceding the interview, say John B. McKinlay of the New England Research Institute in Watertown, Mass., and his team.

To conduct the survey -- part of the 1987 to 1989 Massachusetts Male Aging Study -- trained interviewers went to the men's homes in the Boston area and had them fill out a questionnaire about their sexual activities. They also asked the men about their physical and mental health and drew samples of blood. Almost 1,300 men participated, 95 percent of them white, the researchers report in the January JOURNAL OF UROLOGY.

And I use Viagra every now and again.
Not all the time.
Most of the time i am good to go...and go
But sometimes the soldier needs help saluting.
Daily stress and fatigue and shit rolling around in your head can cause problems.
I am not ashamed at all to admit this.
Trust me the blue pill kicks ass..(and can help tap it quite well) :evilgrin:
It is a godsend!!

36. Actually, this came up at the clinic this morning
while I was getting some routine bloodwork done.

One of the Docs mentioned that ED is more common now than ever owing to an epidemic of obesity related Diabetes and high blood pressure.

I've no idea what his sources are, but it makes a certain amount of sense to me. :shrug:

38. there used to be alot of herbal things
that people would take, stuff like yohimbe, which is the bark from a tree in Africa. I think humans have been taking aphrodisiacs for all of human history; in fact there are many things that are eaten as aphrodisiacs particularly in Asia that probably are not at all effective and that come from endangered species which have been poached. I think it was probably under the table in sexually repressed cultures, in the same way birth control was and the west is less sexually repressed now than it has been since probably the 20's or so...only now the pharmaceutical industries have gotten into the game and learned how to make money off this stuff.
