The Viagra Chronicles

So after watching the movie about Viagra, which is just using Viagra to prove that the man has no soul before he meets the woman that will change his life (an idea I’m against, I thing this drug is helping so many people, men and women, and like any drug it has its problems and side effects, but this is no reason to make the little blue pill into a joke) – so after watching that awful film I’ve decided that real news weren’t in the cinema. I also decided I should focus on more serious aspects of the drug that changed my life, not pure entertainment.

So, while Louis continues to pop the little blue in his mouth every other day just in time to greet me when I arrive home, I use my days to fully understand the drug we use. What is Viagra, or better – what it was, and what it is going to be. Because life is change, and 2012 is the year Pfizer loses ownership over the drug. Many changes are about to happen – price-wise, of course, but also distribution, for example, and many other changes that I will try to explain.

TESCO will Sell Cut-Price Viagra Without a Prescription From Next Week.

That was a very surprising headline, and I tried to fully understand what it means. I know that in some places on this planet this is no news (like in Thailand, for example, there you can buy Viagra in any pharmacy with no prescription) – but for Louis and for me those are big news. A thing like that may mean we will no longer buy Viagra or other impotence medications online – we will just add it to the shopping list, together with the carrots, bananas, and cucumbers.

The price for 8 pills will be 52 Pounds Sterling, and the men (age 40-65  only), will have to fill in a questionnaire. There will also be some tests – including checks on blood pressure and cholesterol levels – but that’s it. No doctor involved.

Tesco is cutting down Viagra prices here, since the service was offered until now in the Boots chain, only they charged the ridiculous amount of 55 Pounds sterling for 4 (FOUR!) Viagra pills.

Since we don’t live in the UK, this is not too relevant for us yet – but I’m sure this is a process that will start spreading quickly. In time the age group will change. In stead of taking tests the man will have a chip that states his health statistics. It will all be so different.

Placebo Pill Gives Boost to Some Women’s Sex Drive

Many reported improvements in the physical aspects of arousal, including better lubrication, more frequent orgasms or more easily attainable orgasms, according to the study.

Another headline which I had to read twice. What does it mean? Are women such psychological creators that our mind reacts first and only then the rest of our body?

And does it matter? Of course I would only take a drug if it is a must, and in this case I’d prefer a placebo than a pill of, let’s say, Lovegra. But maybe yoga and meditation are even a better choice? Or better sex education for men? Interesting, don’t you think?

Nick Clegg Given a Giant Viagra Pill

Apparently the climate-protesters thought it’s a good idea to deliver a huge Viagra pill made out of paper with the slogan: don’t be impotent written on it. They also used another slogan: GET HARD ON CLIMATE CHANGE. I liked it, but I’m not sure I like the use of Viagra again, as a joke.
