Viagra

>oh, lets not forget men of all ages beating down our door to get Viagra or Cialis... <


That does it: now I MUST say something about Viagra now that another (much admired) blogger has twice brought it up.


Am I alone in sensing some form of disapproval in the phraseology,"...beating down the door..."? I've claimed that women resent the mere existence of Viagra, as if the drug companies had committed yet another gross sin of greed, and humanity be damned.


My doctor seems bent on limiting me to six viagra pills per month. He suggested cutting each one in half. What I assume are illegal sellers of the drug charge $85 a year just to get started. There's apparently no limit to the number one can buy. Then there's a Canadian source I haven't explored yet.


The advent of viagra, advertised on the body of race cars for reasons so obvious it's embarrassing, and the semi-difficulty of acquiring the drug, has spurred a rennaisance of herbal and other types of aphrodisiacs.


Women, I suppose and guess, hate the notion that a drug will enable men to actually impale them minus all caring, foreplay and tenderness. Yet, simultaneously, if the man of the moment can't perform he may never climb up out of that well of disgrace. I've always feared first times, which mostly amounted to over-estimating the goal once up close and personal. But, just plain nerves do play a role sometimes. My first wife, not long before the wedding, took me to bed in her apartment in daylight. Everything went fine. I was in love. But why was there blood? She was a virgin? She'd been put up to it by another woman to make sure I was as good as I looked?  Or, she was so naive she didn't know she still had her period?


Is this talk gonna be taken down by those folks in India? They sure follow a quite strange moral code. Take that guy who literally rolls, horizontal, thousands of miles, then his entourage collects money for his pains? By most western standards that's just plain flatout immoral. We should talk: this morning again (October 13) our newspaper front page has still more - God help us - on the huge dimensions ofthe Catholic priest scandal.


More later:  gotta run.

Your doctor will give you as many pills as you ask for - just you'll have to PAY for more than six and those little suckers are expensive!!

How amazing! Only yesterday did it occur to
me that the children of a couple I've known for
45 years might have squealed on me for talking
about Viagra. The prospect creeps me out. I've
'burned my bridges' so I'm forced to be true to
myself and tell it as I see it. PAR. Sure, I'd love to
do a riff on Howard Stern. Fasten your seat belt.
Howard thoroughly understands theater, that's the
link I treasure. Here's an example: Seen the movie
Private Parts? An actor (male) in that movie, doing
a superb job as the demented NBC boss, was one
of the lovers in SIDEWAYS. I felt so
sorry for that actor. There is nothing in SIDEWAYS
that's worth a wooden nickel. So, I'll write an entry
on the subject of Stern.
