More To Sex Than Just Viagra

Monday, December 22nd, 2008

These days everyone has heard about the erectile dysfunction drug Viagra and it can probably claim to be among the world’s most famous drugs. Viagra has help millions of men (and women) restore their marriages as well as boost the profits of the pharma giant Pfizer. The fact that so much Viagra sells and that there is a huge market in copies illegal and otherwise shows that there is a serious need for this drug. Viagra shows that men care alot about their performance in bed and that they really want to be sexually vigorous with their wives and girlfriends and also that many men have problems sustaining erections when they age or when they have other health problems that cause erectile dysfunction.

So Viagra has helped men with the physical side of sexual dysfunction and has been known to help men and women with sexual intimacy and relationships but it is important not to just rely on Viagra for sexual intimacy and satisfaction. Sometimes Viagra can even cause more problems in a relationship as sexual expectations are not met and the sex just becomes a performance show as opposed to a romatic coupling.

Viagra has no effect on the spiritual and emotional side of sex and that must be considered before you think that Viagra will sort all your realtionship problems out. Older men often think that Viagra will suddenly make them amazing lovers again when they take the little blue pill and while the drug will help with the actual erectile function it will not help with the physical action of sex which is required too.

Many old people still like to enjoy sex and various studies have been done that show that aging does not always mean that sex is non existent. One survey claimed that nearly 70% of men over the age of 80 still enjoyed sexual encounters and that many married men and women over 60 are still sexually active and this is not all down to Viagra but also due to good health and a good relationship.

Viagra Adverts Under Fire ….Again

Wednesday, December 17th, 2008

In Los Angeles an organisation that lobbies for AIDS information and help has criticised the new spate of Viagra adverts that they say are causing people to look at Viagra as a recreational drug and not as a drug that is a serious medicine for men with erectile dysfunction.

The lobbyists argue that by using Viagra as a recreational drug it can greatly increase the chances of people spreading the HIV virus as they tend to have more promiscuous sex as opposed to monogamous relationships. This has not actually been proved but what is apparent is that straight and gay men use Viagra to be come aroused sexually when the drink and drugs that they have consumed affect their sexual abilities. In their cases this allows men to have sex when they are in an inebriated state and under the influence of drugs that may cause them not to think properly and responsibly.

The drug Viagra is especially effective with gay men who use an illegal drug called methadone and then who are unable to exercise erectile function. The AIDS Healthcare Foundation has announced that it will be running adverts in various newspapers in major US cities to warn about the recreational use of Viagra and to pressure Viagra into making sure that their advertising is always responsible and does not promote Viagra as a lifestyle drug.

Two adverts have recently come under fire, one in which a voice over announces to a middle aged couple that the Wild Thing is back and another has a couple smiling at each other when they are told that their movie has sold out and the line goes ‘What are you waiting for’…..
The head of the AIDS Healthcare Foundation said that these adverts were irresponsible because they are promoting Viagra as a party drug that can be used to have fun as opposed to help people who have a serious medical problem. He said that these drugs should not be used by men who just have mild erectile dysfunction but only to serious cases of impotence.

Viagra Found In Police Raid

Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008

Good news from the UK is that following police raids a huge stash of fake Viagra erectile dysfunction pills have been confiscated in London. The fake Viagra pills would have been sold online by illegal websites or even sold on the street to individuals. The Police also announced that they had got hold of a host of other drugs including steroids, slimming pills anti-depressants and more, all of which fall into the lifestyle category of drugs and which people (who are reckless with their health) buy because they can’t get doctors prescriptions for them.

The house that was raided was being used as a distribution centre for the Viagra drug and while the police can’t be exactly sure how the Viagra was being sold it is likely that the drugs were supplying some illegal website and been given to black market Viagra peddlers to tout on the street.

The investigations are still continuing by the police and they will release more details when they can. In the meantime Ukmedix would like to remind all its patients not to fall into the temptation of buying illegal and fake Viagra on the street or online as the chances are that it will not have been manufactured to the same stringent standards as the real Viagra tablets and therefore could either be useless or harmful to your health.

The MHRA in the UK that keeps an eye out for illegal drug selling activity has been very vigilant in the last few years with the clamp down on the sales of fake Viagra tablets and has been seizing Viagra worth thousands of pounds each month.

It is likely that some of these fake Viagra pills have done severe harm to the health of people who use them but many of them are scared to come forward because they are ashamed that they could have been so stupid and they are worried that they broke the law by buying them in the first place. If you buy Viagra without a prescription, the law is being broken and you are putting your self in danger legally and health wise.
