Do 20-Something Dudes Really Take Viagra?


What's with young, virile men in movies taking boner pills? Is it purely for comedic purposes?

I found it sad that they did so, and especially sad if they do it in order to get tanked when they go out and still get it up if necessary.

In real life they sure do. ED is shown in the commercials as being something that only happens to older men, but there are plenty of young men who have a hard time getting it up. It can be for various reasons as well...substance abuse, stress, depression, etc.

It came out when I was 18 in 98. my friend worked at a dry cleaners and found 100 mg Viagra in a pocket and gave it to me. I never had ED (with the exception of maybe 3 times when I was hammered) and I have been taking Viagra ever since. So has at least a dozen of my friends, who I have let try it. It's a performance enhancer for many. For me personally it makes me about an inch bigger, thicker, harder. I can go longer and repeatedly, basically non stop. If I really want to make an impression on a new girl Viagra helps out with that. Plus girls gossip about sex way more than guys. I bet at least half the woman I have slept with were sleeping with me at least partially out of curiosity of said gossip... As an aside let me state that 100mg was way too much. I take maybe 10 mg now and not all the time. There can be negative consequences of taking Viagra.

Too MUCH Viagra could certain make a lot of girls notice, and not in a receptive way, and a lotta cops notice, and of course THAT's no picinic if they see you (imagine if you're in a Laundromat where there's kids and you benefit from Vigra but your thing is, uh, harassing the women and children...talk about dirty laundry).

Just see "I THINK I Love My Wife" with Chris Rock.

PS BTW I NEVER use Viagra.

I never have to use it either. I'm 37 and still going strong. Don't need it. I understand its use for the young guys with erectile dysfunction, but for the healthy kind of men in this movie, it's just weird.

I guess Viagra is intended for people of all ages,

reply

They take it so they will get harder and stay hard, for better sex. It might not be necessary, but it's sort of an added guarantee.

well, i dunno about others.......but i don't!

"whiskey dick" can be countered with Viagra.

Or if the cameras didn't show it, they were also doing coke. Which Viagra also offsets

reply

I think the others probably have the right of it in that it is an enhancer more than "a pick me up" as it sounds like it can be one of those trendy things that catch on. As an aside, there was a Ted Talk from like last year or the year before which linked porn addiction to ED in young men. It was actually a pretty fascinating watch though I can't imagine this movie was going for a serious approach on this subject in the slightest...
