Kirtcheimer, Sid (2004)” Young Men Lead Surge in Viagra Use” WebMD Medical News, 9/4, p. 1-2

Viagra as most know by now is a medication for impotency. It is heavily political in that Viagra may be covered in a medical plan, but not birth control pills.

Essentially, this oral medication is for over 50 year old males who have erectile dysfunction or related problems. Cialas is another prescription with a similar biochemical stimuli and Caver ject is very useful for heart patients. The problem with Viagra is that it can cause a dramatic drop in blood pressure, thus putting a patient in peril of death.

Now comes along a new consumer who does not have health or age problems. The use of
Viagra and related medications has tripled among men 18 to 45. The author surmises that general practioners want to please their patients so they write scripts for young males.

The promise is that the erection continues so that a male can have a number of orgasms rather than just one or two, and that the intensity of arousal and release is increased.

You probably thought we were done with this story. No, there is an increase of 13% among women who have the same desires. Viagra is less reliable for women, but when it works, it works very well.

Thus, we have a happy couple and a joyous pharmaceutical company. Our story now ends.

Perhaps, there will be a day when the medication has less side effects (including death) and many more couples will be happy. That is happily married.

I wish you well.
