For men only! Why Viagra?

[Rich_by_the_Bay]

Damn, you people are impossible sometimes

No, most users don't have coronary disease. In fact, nitroglycerine use is a contraindication for viagra.

Viagra exaggerates or enables an erection only under arousing circumstances. You do not take it and walk around polevaulting all day. Unless, that is, you find your mother-in-law just a bit attractive.

For those lucky few who get a prolonged (4 hours) erection, they lose their sense of humor in a big hurry. It can require surgery. Called Priapism, it also occurs in sickle cell disease and a few other conditions. If you let it [-]grow [/-]go, you can get gangrene.

What happened to the good old days where we talked about annuities and whether to pay off your mortgage?

Oh, we're talking about a pay off alright.

Annuities end when one dies, right? Looks like this issue will last just as long too.

a 4-hour annuity ? Is that some exotic sex thing ? Or does the money just last long enough for a good romp ?

 

[maddythebeagle]

So Rich...is it really that common, for it to last 4 hours and what do you tell your patients when they do call...

Not common.

I tell them congratulations.

And what is the antidote to those guys who suffer erections for 5 hours or more and are supposed to call the Doctor?

What does the doctor do?

No you call a Hooker!!

 

[dumpster56]

baloney. there are tons of reasons. it could just be a medical, not a moral thing....



by this logic, acne medication, sleeping pills, and pain killers should not be covered either since they are typically not life-threatening.

this is just a clear-cut situation where you want your personal values to drive insurance policy

Acne= infection, not being able to sleep= yes you can die from that, pain killers quite frankly doctors do not treat pain correctly pain does also kill.

Viagra, please not even close.

i'm going to question that no desire thang.

i was on sexual overdrive for most of my life. only in the last maybe 4 years have i been, um, coming to grips with a lack of desire. i no longer have to have it 5 times (on a slow day) each day 7 days a week and i couldn't be more, um, relieved.

sometimes i shutter to think what i might have accomplished in life had i been able to actually concentrate on anything other than sex. but at least i've had a very fun life.

the thought of needing viagra when not as a fix for a physical condition--& i've been to parties where it was handed out like, um, cocktails--is just freaky to me. i could not be happier than to no longer be on sexual overdrive. i have never known sexual desire to occur without an erection which proved rather embarrassing a few times in my youth.

i think we often misinterpret our feelings. i think the desire for love, for companionship, for a hug, maybe even for something as so-called spiritual does not always require viagra so that the desire is turned into a desire satisfied only by sex. especially where there is no physical impairment, perhaps diminishing sexual desire does not necessarily indicate any malfuction at all. maybe it's just natural.

i'm not upset that i no longer have the growing pains i had as a child, the acne i had as a teenager, nor the erection i had in my 20s. and i still probably have more sex than anyone taking viagra.

 

[haha]

According to this urology site, "Viagra does not cause erections without sexual stimulation."

But of course there is stimulation, and then there is stimulation. A guy told me that he took it and went to a bar. Every time he danced there was Mr.Jack.

The girls got a real giggle out of it.

Ha

"Giggle" was probably not the reaction that would have made him feel he got his prescription's worth...

Perhaps you should google 'erectile disfunction'.

Best suggestion so far.

When I first saw the question I thought it was a Troll then I saw Sam has over 1K in posts.

 

[Sam]

When I first saw the question I thought it was a Troll then I saw Sam has over 1K in posts.

I really don't know what a troll is, so I searched.

From Wikipedia:

In Internet terminology, a troll is someone who intentionally posts derogatory or otherwise inflammatory messages about sensitive topics in an established online community such as an online discussion forum to bait users into responding.[1] They may also plant images and data on networks that others may find disturbing (usually indirectly relating to the individual in person) in order to cause confrontation. While not necessarily related to hacking, such a practice is against the Computer Misuse Act 1990 in the United Kingdom, where mischief is caused in order to ensure chaos is spread.

Then I got confused. I went back and read my own original post looking for derogatory, inflammatory messages. I did not find anything of that nature. Either that or I don't understand what I wrote.

So, if I didn't have 1K posts, would I be considered a troll? Conversely, if someone has thousand of posts, are we supposed to believe none of his/her posts are derogatory, inflammatory?

 

[haha]

So, if I didn't have 1K posts, would I be considered a troll?

No, just a naive person with limited social understanding.

 

[Sam]

No, just a naive person with limited social understanding.

haha, is that a direct intentional insult?

Whoa, boys and girls. Sam, I thought the troll reference was odd and out of place, too. I think he wondered whether your original post was a spoof, a put-on but used the word troll instead (unfittingly, in my view). And Ha was just joking around.

Let's move on to more important things, like viagra, erections, and 4 hour boners.

 

[wallygator69]

Odd drug. Most who need it are in later stages of coronary artery disease, now as rich pointed out are the young guys who drink way too much and well alcohol can make wally a softy must have in the bag of tricks.

By the way the drug should not be paid by drug copays. You want it pay full price. This is not a life threatening need.

Hey New Guy WTF, it happened once and how the hell did you find out?

TV on in the bedroom and Rosie O'donnells pumpkinhead came on the screen. It was like letting the air out of a balloon.

Thanks for the memories..

Viagra, please not even close.

erectile dysfunction=part of male physiology that is not functioning properly. Loss of function can lead to social and emotional problems. Probably more disturbing to some than to others.

how about cleft palate, or lisp, limp? Maybe these affect your interaction with more people than the lack of ability to attain and sustain erection, but nevertheless a function that doesn't work 'normally' and can cause social and emotional problems.

Well how about it--maybe none of these should be covered either because they aren't life threatening? I think you need to examine what causes you to consider viagra to be fundamentally different.

 

[mathjak107]

OK, this is embarassing, but I need to satisfy my curiosity.

Why is there a market for Viagra and the likes? Don't males already have enough problems with their higher sexual desires than females? Why the urge to make an existing problem worse?

And who buys these products? Males or females?

forget viagra i want my neighbor ha ha ha... or better yet i want that stuff they warn lasts 4 hours. is it see alice ?

 

[mathjak107]

I see what you're saying.

So in your view, it's an ego issue. Although that male has no current sexual desire, he still wants to attract the females. Interesting theory, but is it true?

is that like those dogs that chase cars but can't drive?

For some reason this reminds me of a guy who told me that he used to masturbate so much in the shower while his wife was pregnant that now every time it rained he got a boner.
