Viagra could be the key to boosting countries' flagging economic performance, it's being claimed.
Doctors at a medical health conference in Singapore have been warned sexual problems could take a high economic toll.
Psychiatrist Emil Man-Lun Ng, from the University of Hong Kong, said: "If you are sexually not fulfilled, your
quality of life will decrease, which leads to a dip in the resources of the country and the economy."
The professor, who is founder of the Asian Federation for Sexual Health, is among the experts from Asia, Europe and the US attending the three-day Sex Health Conference.
He said: "When the economy is down, sexual activity is lower as people get depressed and have less sex."
The congress, which aims to raise awareness of human sexuality and its problems, also heard calls for more research on female sexuality.
Beverly Whipple, from Rutgers University in the US, says most research so far has focused on male sexual problems.
The treatments and drugs used to treat those cannot be used for women, as female anatomy is more complex, she said.
Ha ha ha ha ha ha
I vote for war. It has an extremely effective stimulating effect on all aspects of life...personal, social, political, cultural...war just does it all...
Kinda wonder...Just how in-depth will they be studying sex?
That would explain that eMail I got promising a little blue pill that would stiffen my economy.
A little Viagra, and the whole NADSDAQ rises 1000 points.
Really now "whats up" with this?
for the survivors.
Enough said.
Why bother with just Viagra, how about government sponsored orgies? That's make everyone happy and productive.
That's why poor people breed so quickly.
