No, not the one Neo neglected to take before diving own the rabbit hole, but rather the miracle pill that men have had access to over the last few years.

I do not know if I have talked about this before, but if not I am now. For all those out there that do not know what I am talking about it is called Viagra. This is a miracle for some men who are having a problem in the erectile dysfunction area. To be plainer, it you can’t get it up, Viagra may be a help in that department.

Normally I would not talk about a particular drug, but this is one that both men and women can get behind, or in front of as the case may be. It does more than give a guy a good woody, it gives him back his self confidence and his masculinity. And if you do not think that those are two important things for men to have you are deluding yourself.

Personal case in point (so to speak): For the last few years I have been diagnosed with Diabetes. One unfortunate side effect in my case was a lack of a good erection. I was told that if I got my BGL in line and took the other medications that things would be better in the sex department. Well, they never did get better and after a while I began to wonder and eventually chalked the lack of sex up to getting old and health problems. Basically I resigned myself to a life of little or no sex. Then came the divorce.

Well, dating of course was a new priority and with that came sex, for I was sure that a partner was going to want it. As good as I am with other parts of my body there is nothing like honest to god intercourse for make you and your partner happy. So, I asked my doc… “Can you help out here?” And he wrote me a prescription for six tabs of Viagra to see if that would help.

Well, I soon had a chance to see, and you know what? Damn thing worked like it was supposed to and I had an experience in bed that I had not had in a long while. But that is not all it did for me.

For the next week I felt whole again. I felt on top of the world. I got my mojo back and was feeling better about myself than I had in a long while. I felt like a man again and it showed in everything I did.

You see, when man can’t perform in the bed (or out of it as well) he does begin to doubt his masculinity. Failure to perform is a kick in the balls and one delivered it to the “twins” by “Big Jim” himself. Not much you can do about that but let it eat at you. Eventually it eats away at you to the point that you doubt your very worth as a man. But the little blue pill can help.  And when it does help you get all the self esteem back, you get your worth back, and you feel like a man again.

I know that there are women out there that say that men should not need it, that they are hot enough to make him get it up and not to worry about it. But I got news for you women, that may not be the case. You may indeed be a mattress dancer of the highest caliber, but the problem is medical and not mental. Since sex happens mostly between the ears, the want to do you hard is not at issue, it’s the plumbing he has to have function. Women, there are some real hydraulics at work here, complicated stuff. If the balance of everything for a guy is not right, he’s not going to get it up, as much as he’d like to. And when that happens and you feel like you are less of a woman because you could not get him going, remember it was not you, it was a medical problem. So before you feel bad, remember that, and then do not feel like you are less of a person because he has to take a little blue pill to get it all going.

One of the things that Viagra does not do is to provide a libido. If the man does not want to have sex, taking the pill will not help (remember, sex is between the ears mostly.) Also there are other medical issues that would rule out using Viagra (see your doctor), but for many men with some problems it is a god send. The reason why it is the biggest selling drug short of Aspirin is because of the other effect, and not the hard on. It lets a man feel like a man again.

As an FYI: There are some common side effects that one should know about. They are: 1) Flushing of the skin (usually the face and chest) 2) Running or stuffy nose 3) Long Erections (this is serious and not to be laughed at it though it sounds ridiculous.) In the last case you are going to want to get to an emergency room ASAP (if your hard on lasts for four hours) and have them administer a counter agent (usually Narcan). After all, you do not want to loose your cock just because it was having too good of a time. Also, if you are taking ANY KIND OF HEART MEDICATION, tell you doctor. There are some drugs that will produce a synergistic and dangerous effect with Viagra, Cialis and Lavitra. If you have a heart attack while under the influence of these drugs be sure to tell your doctor, nurse, or emergency personnel immediately so they do not administer a Nitro Stray (common for heart attack patience). I mention these things as a due diligence so you all know as much as I do.

That all being said, if you are a guy with an issue like this, do ask your doctor about it and if it is cool, give it a try. If you are lucky and it works for you, you are going to feel like a million bucks. (Always consult a doctor before taking any medication.)
