Viagra use has grown in men under 30: Little blue pills are becoming readily available on the internet - with 20% of men in their 20s suffering from erectile dysfunction
daily mail ^

Most men occasionally struggle to get or keep an erection due to stress, tiredness, anxiety or drinking too much alcohol.

The National Institutes of Health reports that around 30 million men have erectile dysfunction, with it being most common among the elderly. It can be caused by high blood pressure or cholesterol, hormone problems or side effects from medication.

Some younger men also suffer from 'performance anxiety', where mental distractions and other issues have give them trouble

Medicines containing sildenafil, the active ingredient in Viagra, are often used to treat the condition. It expands blood vessels and boosts blood flow

Viagra was originally developed by Covid vaccine manufacturer Pfizer in 1989

But clinical trials in Wales a few years later saw men report an unusual side effect —they got more erections while taking the medication.

The drug was approved in the US and EU in 1998, branded as Viagra, and became one of the fastest selling drugs of all time.

Online pharmacies and telehealth providers have allowed many to circumvent part of the process, though. Men can get prescription Viagra, or competitors like Cialis and Stendra from online providers.

These include Hims, Lemonaid and Roman among others. While the companies are operating totally legally, some are asking for more regulation.

Firms like Hims allow for a person to access the prescription drugs easily, with physicians often willing to write a prescription after a quick online consultation.

'These are lifestyle drugs, and they have potentially serious adverse effects, and this seems like too casual a way to be obtaining them,' Dr Adriane Fugh-Berman, a pharmacology professor at Georgetown University in Washington D.C. told the Associated Press in 2019.

The UK's National Health System (NHS) also warns against obtaining the drugs through online pharmacies.

Eating mangoes works just as good, and has no side effects.

Young men use them recreationally to perform after drinking heavily. The performance anxiety is what you tell your internet doctor so he prescribes you the blue pills.

Never needed one. Before Hollywood, the only guy I knew who used it was my dormie at Stanford who was a gigolo. He uses it for the “fat hags” he had to sleep with, but they pay triple. Just like me, he paid off his tuition like that.

I never had to use one of those blue pills. Never once! And I hope to never have to use one of them again.

That’s my story, and I’m sticking to it.

This generation is a group of young men who’s been bottle feed soy milk and “toxic masculinity” all their lives as well as confusing pornography for real women.

Real men are dying off while the media celebrates “transnormality”

Maybe an infusion of Latino machismo will help correct this.

I am pretty sure she is female.

Quite unlike most things I might suspect a certain percent of the population might need Pfizer Fore

Porn addiction.

Godless narcissistic boys play with themselves and can’t have real relationships without being drugged up. It’s no wonder our nation is going to hell.
