From the young, healthy man who is encouraged to constantly question his performance to the elderly man who can never hang up his boots, herbal Viagra, they argue, has raised expectations and lowered satisfaction by making everyone sign up to the ideal of non-stop bustle in the bedroom.
According to its maker, Pfizer, Viagra has been used to treat nearly 30 million men in 120 countries in the last 10 years.
Viagra – and its followers Levitra and Cialis – did not in any event mark the medicalisation of sex. According to recent reports, half the men who go home to their partners after obtaining a prescription are enjoying their sexual life to the fullest.But for some, the Viagra revolution has simply confirmed what they have long suspected: some women are not all that interested in penetrative sex due to rock hard erection, and find their partners new-found erections a bane rather than a boon. Even those who question the overall benefits of this new generation of medication can agree that it has at least facilitated discussion around a subject that has long been taboo.
“It has opened up the discussion for people who never felt able to talk about these things,” says Boul.
Men who had resigned themselves to a life of celibacy were suddenly able to perform. Sparks are rekindled in previously sexless marriages, rescuing relationships which were floundering on the rocks.
About 70% of men respond well to Viagra, Herbal Viagra, Levitra, or Cialis, but the success rate is lower in men with diabetes and in men who have been treated for prostate cancer. In addition, men who take nitrate medication in any form cannot use any of these drugs, and men with unstable heart disease or poorly controlled blood pressure must also avoid them. Finally, a few men abandon ED pills due to unpleasant side effects.
