Some Viagra Thoughts

Tuesday, May 27th, 2008

What Viagra can provide is a reduction of anxiety about whether an erection can be attained and can create a situation for men where intercourse actually is another option in lovemaking (where it may not have been readily available previously). However, we want to stress here, that for healthy relationships, the act of intercourse is best used when it feels most appropriate, but please, not as the goal of lovemaking. We still believe that the goal of lovemaking should be the conveyance between the partners of their love, caring and nurturing of each other. In this regard, we see the potential of Viagra as a valuable “tool.”

Another area where Viagra can make a valuable contribution is in the reduction of “condom anxiety” on the part of men. Many men are reluctant to use condoms because of fears of loss of sensitivity and/or failure to attain or maintain an erection. The increased sensitivity caused by Viagra could go a long way towards encouraging a greater use of condoms and thus, safer sex practices during intercourse.

Also, trials have begun to assess the value of Viagra in increasing the blood flow and perhaps, vaginal and clitoral sensitivity in women. A couple of weeks after Gary’s experiment, Shama elected to try Viagra (also in the interest of science). “When Gary and I made love this time, I noticed a marked increase in sensitivity in my genitals which did heighten my pleasure. He also commented that I felt “wetter and juicier” than usual. I believe that for me, as well, I was able to “stay with it” for a more extended period of time.”

Older Chileans given free Viagra

Monday, May 19th, 2008

A Chilean mayor is to hand out free potency pills to older people in his municipality near the capital Santiago.

Mayor Gonzalo Navarette Munoz says he wants to improve their quality of life by giving them free access to Viagra.

He will give men aged 60 or over in the working-class suburb of Lo Prado the chance to get their potency pills courtesy of the taxpayer.

He says he was inspired by complaints from older patients about their poor sex lives while working as a doctor.

“This is about giving our elderly population a better quality of life,” he told Chile’s national press.

Mr Navarette says that within the next few days physicians will start dispensing the drugs at their surgeries and his office will pick up the bill.

Election sweetener?

The mayor has done some number-crunching already. He intends to hand out Viagra four times a month to every man who asks for it and passes a medical.

He has already drawn up a list of some 1,500 men who have shown interest.

It is estimated the programme will cost around $20,000 (£10,000) in the first year.

Critics have suggested this is just a ploy to get the local politician re-elected.

But Mayor Navarette insists he is performing a valuable social service which, if successful, could be rolled out across Chile.

Question to Miss Everhard: Retrieving a Lost Prescription

Tuesday, May 6th, 2008

Dear Miss Everhard,

I recently had a one-night stand with a woman I met online, and I accidentally left my (nearly full) bottle of Viagra at her apartment. I thought about going on another date with her just to get the Viagra back, but I don’t want to give her the impression that I’m actually interested in her. Could I ask her to mail it to me?

You just found out the hard way why you should never travel with your entire supply of Viagra. Didn’t you learn anything from Rush Limbaugh’s example? I’m afraid you’re just going to have to let it go and consider this an expensive lesson. Get a refill and invest a few dollars in a pill case so you can carry just one or two pills at a time.

On the other hand, should the lady contact you in order to notify you that you left something behind, you may offer to meet her at a mutually convenient time and location. A neutral venue like a coffeeshop is best. Get the bottle back as soon as possible after greeting her. Let her know that you appreciate her returning it to you. Then tell her that while you enjoyed the evening that you spent with her, you feel that it would be best not to continue to be sexually involved, because you feel the two of you aren’t really compatible for dating. If she hasn’t already thrown her coffee in your face, this would be a good point to excuse yourself.
