Domestic Diversions

Feeling blue?

This is London (Evening Standard) throws the covers off E.D. problems, solutions and side effects.

Tahira Yaqoob writes (excerpt):
Viagra has already been cited in dozens of divorces in America, where more than seven million men take the prescribed pill.

Leading New York divorce lawyer Raoul Felder, who has dealt with at least 70 such cases, said: “Older men are able to perform so they are going elsewhere. They are seeking younger, greener pastures.”

Jim Pollard, of the website malehealth.co.uk, said: “Tablets aren’t really the solution to any sexual health problems. The problems are usually much more deep-rooted so it is unfair to blame a drug for a divorce.

“It is much easier to blame something else rather than looking internally at the relationship.”

Since Viagra was launched on the market in 1998, a billion tablets have been sold worldwide to more than 20 million men.

Dr Abraham Morgantaler, of Harvard Medical School, says in his book The Viagra Myth: “This is definitely the Viagra Age.

“It is second in brand name recognition only to Coca-Cola. Nobody had bothered to ask, might there be a downside? People had come to expect that taking a little blue pill could solve their personal and relationship problems.”
