NSFW??? Ladies, do you mind if your man is taking Viagra?

Asked by RealEyesRealizeRealLies (30954points) July 26th, 2011

The only comments I’ve ever heard a woman make about Viagra, (or any other erectile dysfunction medicine) is to make some type of joke about it. Basically poking fun at a man who couldn’t get it up. Admittedly, this was over ten years ago when the medicine first hit the market and it was new to everyone.

I was working a client photo shoot for a mens fashion catalog, and somehow the subject of Viagra came up. The woman stylist made a joking comment about it. Ignorantly, a few people including myself took the opportunity to snicker under our breath. As a new and somewhat embarrassing subject, the joke was a timely one that spoke to the culture of the day. I don’t even remember what she said, but just the subject of Viagra was funny at the time. This was before the days that the term erectile dysfunction was even known.

Well, one of the male models spoke up immediately and explained that it was a real medicine that was doing some real good for men with the problem. He maturely explained that many couples were enjoying its benefits in their relationship. It was still kind of kiddy giggling funny, and quite odd to hear someone speak up so boldly in defense of it.

A decade later and there are numerous variations on the theme of Viagra. I don’t know their names because I don’t watch television. But when I did, it seemed that every other commercial was advertising some kind of erectile dysfunction medicine with some pretty corny commercials. And then I hear it’s not just a medicine to help those who need it, but also being used by men who don’t to enhance their sexual performance beyond what their normal abilities can achieve.

OK, so what I’m wondering is how you, as a woman, feel about a man, specifically your man using an erectile dysfunction medicine which allows him to perform, or perform better than he normally would. I know there are a lot of pseudo products being advertised on the radio too. I don’t think they’re considered actual medicines, but more in like with a vitamin supplement that keeps prostrate healthy, with the added benefit of enhancing sexual performance. Are these in the same category as Viagra and the like? How do you feel about these drugs ladies?

BTW… I don’t know if this question is NSFW or not. Those who listen to the radio at work hear about this stuff all the time.
