An increasing number of American youths who use the club drug Ecstasy are mixing it with the anti-impotence drug Viagra, leading drug-abuse specialists to warn about the health risks of a combination that users say fuels all-night dancing and marathon sex.

[Sabertooth]

It's too bad sex is so boring without performance enhancing drugs.

[freebilly]

Doctors warn that combining the two drugs can cause heart problems or erections that don't subside for more than four hours, possibly leading to anatomical damage

Damage on whose anatomical parts? His or hers?

[Huck]

Royal Canadian Mounted Police

[phasma proeliator]

I'm speechless.

[SpinyNorman]

Geez, wouldn't a four hour woody get in the way in a dance club? Maybe the anatomical damage would come from penile fractures in wild dancing!!

BTW, I am totally avoiding any remarks about Canadian "mounted" police here.

[Carry_Okie]

If an erection for four hours leads to anatomical injury, I guess it's too late for some of us.

I wonder what kind of "injuries" they're talking about?

[ArrogantBustard]

the mixture had become popular in this country's gay party culture.

>>Damage on whose anatomical parts? His or hers?

His or his? (eeewwwwww... Yuck!)

It's all fun and games until someone gets an eye poked out.

With stories like this I bet it will become more popular. Pfizer is probably loving this story to the detriment of many empty teens.

In related news, Pfizer is conducting field trials of a new drug combining Viagra and an Alzheimer's medication.

Said a spokesman: "We believe this drug can fill an important market niche. In this age of meaningless one-night stands, this new medication is intended to help guys remember the girl's name when they wake up the next morning."

Four hour erection???

Well it's already caused damage to my ego... LOL

[eno_]

What movie was that with the glow in the dark condoms?

[Station 51]

It makes you wonder which party to the marathon sex act is being anatomically injured.

[freebilly]

His or his? (eeewwwwww... Yuck!)

Rectum? Damn near killed 'im....

[UB355]

Are the women dancing with these guys just hard up ?

These imbeciles, apparently, don't realize one can "break" their thing.
~*Permenently* break it.
