NHS prescriptions of sex drug increase to 2.4 million in 2012
Viagra use is on the up, with the number of men prescribed the drug Âhitting a record high.
Nearly 2.4 million prescriptions were handed out last year to help men perform in the bedroom – up from 1.8 million in 2007.
Shadow Public Health Minister Diane Abbott said: “These figures show the pressure that many men, and also our NHS, are under.
“And there's a growing culture of young men getting it off the internet.â€
The rise is being put down to the fact more men need help because of diabetes and high blood pressure.
But Ms Abbott added: “It could be performance anxiety due to financial pressures or our pornified culture making normal sex seem boring.â€


We still do know the long term effects. Thats what scares me about Viagra. Hopefully I will never need it or be so old I wont care,lol.
