Dear Members (no pun intended),
Help me on this one. These 3 drugs - or the companies - promote a drug to achieve erection. They are making a lot of money off of this product. So that tells me a couple of things.
1. There are a lot of men who can't get it up.
or
2. There aren't a lot of men who can't get it up and these pills cost little to make and they charge a high price.

I see the name(s) of these drugs on race cars, golf tournaments and various other high profile, high cost events.

So, if the answer is number one, then I wonder....what did men (or women) do before this wonder drug?

Or, if the answer is number two, how much does a boner-pill cost?

I don't about the statistics, but I know all these drugs are available free of cost. I receive many emails daily from generous people who want to give them free to me Who wants a "forward" of these mails ?

In Spain in the middle ages men ate a certain beetle. (the name escapes me) While it worked in the short term, the chemicals would cause permanent damage with long term use and men would end up worse off.

What Mad Johnny is referring to is Spanish Fly, rumored to be an aphrodisiac.

The real story is far less romantic:

There is, indeed, a concoction made from an insect, but its use was intended for farm animals - primarily cattle (if I remember correctly). The resulting inflammation was so incredibly uncomfortable to the animals' private parts that they would copulate to try and alleviate the intense irritation.

From what I understand, this same concoction, if administered to humans, could easily be fatal. What is (or was) sold in days gone by as "Genuine Spanish Fly" (for humans) was, most likely, simply a placebo.

I knew a guy who swallowed one of these pills too slowly.

He wound up with a stiff neck.

Ouch!

I've actually used it twice. And one of those times I didn't even get laid. This was nearly 3 years ago. I thought this lass I pulled was a certain lay, necked me little blue pill and thought let's get her back to where I was staying. She ended up throwing up in the club and that just put me off. See you later sickie, get in touch when you can handle your drink. I went home alone. The shit I got from my mates for that you wouldn't believe.

The second and last time was about a year ago. Boom. Brilliant night - even after a rediculous amount of drink.

Soo... Getting back to your question MaryCas. It only cost me £3 a time. A little more expensive than a pint. For me it was something really worth trying. I didn't need it but for that price - why not? I wouldn't rule out using it again in the future. My generation see it as a back up if we have happened to have a wee bit much to drink.

I avoid viagra because, as an attorney, I understand that the pill will only make me taller.

Anyway, the best piece of advertising these companies perform is that fake warning at the end of the commercials that start, "In the event an erection lasts 4 hours or longer..."

It sends every wife in America scrambling to her phone to order the stuff.

The commercials go on to say that in the event of such an erection (Jewish Mother Voice: "Oy, such an erection!" ), see your doctor immediately.

My doctor is a 49 year old male. Really nice guy, but he would be the last person I'd contact if I was in that condition.

In most states Viagra is fully or partially reimbursed by health insurers. Yet most women have to pay for birth control pills out of pocket.

The bigger question is why are health insurance companies paying for free or low-cost romps for men but largely deny women contraceptive benefits? Which is probably even more critically needed because of Viagra?

Because Men are in charge of insurance companies and we like to make sure our boys are getting their needs taken care of. The ultimate wingman.

*Nominates Don Alessandrio for post of the year* :p

I like awards. Perhaps we should have our own version of the Dundies, if there is not one already.

Ask Hugh Hefner. He's a huge advocate of Viagra. Pathetic 80 year old man with 20 year olds that he, allegedly, boffs every night! Girls Next Door, ugh! Like road kill, you can't help watching it!

I can't stand "reality" shows, let alone Hugh Hefner's (if you could even call that reality).

About all I watch is the History Channel, South Park, Fox News, and M*A*S*H.

Even the old math is changing now. 80 now goes into 20 a lot more than it used to. :rolleyes:

Yes, but the remainder is smaller.
