On the rise: Viagra use hits record high


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 ­hitting 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.”

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.”

    Dude, in either case diane described, its still the fault of the woman.. the pornography case is more peer pressure than the first case. Personally, I'll be too old to care about sticking my foot in it. Brownie points to those who know the refence I just made.

    "Dude, in either case diane described, its still the fault of the woman..."

    Unbelievable! Blaming the need for the use of Viagra and other ED drugs on women. Grow up Estafador.

    Is it not the women who secretely begs for a bigger dick instead of the average joe 5-6" dick? The fantasies are made easier with pornography and sorting out the big dick actors from the avearge to little dick ones. And I'm talking big name porn companies, not the amatur porn either. You need to stop being an idealist for women and be a realist for once alucard.

    So big dicks are the reason more Viagra is being used?

    Whoops, mixed my drugs. My bad. It still applies to to performance to. I met far too many women who wished their man could last a little longer in bed.

    ED drugs are to help men with medical conditions that make attaining full erections problematic. It is NOT meant for uninformed or stupid young men who mistakenly think they have to compete with Porn actors. Someone taking ED drugs when it is NOT medically indicated is playing with fire.

    If you have a woman who is pressuring you to use ED drugs, I suggest she ABSOLUTELY doesn't have your best interests at heart & suggest you drop her.

    Again you need to grow up Estafador.

    Most women don't watch porn anyway. It is all those dancers who want big dicks.

    Which is why Estafador can laugh all the way to the VIP...........

    Do you know how peer pressure works estafador? Because its a serious issue and it doesn't need to be direct. If I see my girl ogling some guy because he has a hot rod, but I have a family suv, I may feel inclined to put all my savings into getting a hot rod like him to impress my women or just get a loan to afford one (this is using the young guy perspective since we're not using viagra). Peer pressure doesn't. Have to....oh forget this. someone bring me a hot stripper and plenty of vodka. I need to step away from the white knights for a bit. Too shiny

    Yes, I do know about peer pressure. A person DOESN'T need to submit to it. If you are constantly submitting to it Estafador, well then IMO you're...

    I'm young dude, I don't need viagra bro. But since your so defensive about it... are you an advid user just so you can be as good and long as your much more active peers?

    As a healthy young male you shouldn't use ED drugs.
