Those Spammers Were Onto Something

We’ve all had them over the years the spam trying to peddle Viagra or Cialis. Well, maybe they know something we don’t.

Why doctors now say men over 50 should take an erectile dysfunction pill every day (no, it’s not why you think – and doing so could save your life!)

Long story short, the medical profession and pharmaceutical companies want dope us up even more.

‘Moreover, if you give men tadalafil before they have any problems, could you prevent them ever getting erectile dysfunction in the first place, as well as protecting them against heart disease and everything else?

‘You may not only be preserving their sex lives and possibly their marriages, but their longer-term health, too.’

See, also, statins. No change here then. Don’t bother with the root cause, just pump us with drugs – even if we don’t have a medical problem.

  1. I always thought that viagra was under development as a heart drug – improving the flow of blood in some manner – and that during trials interesting side effects were observed.

    Well, it became clear the potential for profit and the rest, as they say, is history.

    I wonder if the research pertinent to the originally intended use has been investigated?

    Of course, it could all just be marketing – Occam’s razor! – to shift more non-boner blockers.

  2. The best thing you can do is stay away from doctors and of medication if at all possible.
    Once they get their claws into you and onto something, there will be side effects, which needs more treatment, causing more side effects, needing more treatment, etc, etc.
    If you have to take something, make sure to get off it as quick as possible.

  3. I’ve been taking Viagra for quite a while now, it is certainly beneficial, mine are at 25% strength and perks the old boy up just enough to stop me peeing on my shoes, another benefit is that it stops me rolling out of bed.

    • I’m not sure what the active ingredient is, but it tastes minty …

      I actually read the Medicine Safety Data sheet that is packaged with Viagra. It said that if you have an erection that lasts longer than 4 hours, phone the Hospital. If I had an erection that lasted longer than 4 hours, I’d be phoning the Guinness Book of Records. >;o)

      • Yes I do get the humour, but prolonged erections – its called Priapism are VERY serious. Unfortunately it happened to me about 10 years ago and I tried ignoring it. Certainly for more than 4 hours, I didnt know what it was then. Wish I had. Haven’t had an erection since. Nothing works. Tried all the pills and pumps nothing works. My life is frankly not worth living any more. Be warned, it really Isnt funny.
