Wasn't this class of medication originally for cardiovascular issues, and the whole ED mitigation was a happy marketable accident?

Given the opportunity, people will do anything else than have more than 2 children, which is the requirement to increase the population. There’s just better stuff to do than spend multiple years taking care of the baby. Any argument other than “for the greater good” won’t sound reasonable to educated population. Talking to my friends, especially women who already have a child, they keep mentioning the opportunity los…
Are people really saying they missed out on "personal growth" when they had kids? Taking care of kids is not that hard or much of a sacrifice really. It would be super easy if things were even more communal. There's just really not that much great stuff that you are missing out on after like 35/40+. In truth most of the stuff geared to people in that age range is designed for people with kids. I think a lot of people…
Up here in Canada, according to statistics, only 20% of couples want to have 3+ children. If I recall it correctly, it’s not that they have it, but plan to, which might not even happen due to socioeconomic reasons.
I don’t think majority of young people want to have 3 children though, as you mentioned. Even if I do an extremely unscientific look around in my circles, the number of couples who want that is 0. I obviously might be in a bubble, but it’s a fairly common sentiment especially for my age group.

For me having kids has been massive personal growth. In some ways having kids is synergistic with many of life’s goals and personal growth. Career, less so, but I can a more capable human for being a parent.
It’s way easier for me to babble, because if I was a father I wouldn’t have to go through pregnancy period. Statistically it also shows men want more children than women, and that’s fair because it affects our physical health way less.
Guys (esp!), for real-pros, Viagra is a toy - instead, they use Taladafil/etc.

Isn't that the exact definition of the placebo effect?
you dont get antibodies against viruses just by thinking you have them.

Viagra doesn't "make" you hard, you still need sexual stimulus. I've taken it and then the sexual opportunity fell through, so I went back to coding or whatever, and I didn't notice anything different.
I can (at the ripe old age of 78) confirm this completely. Without stimulation, nothing except facial flushing. With stimulation, and only with stimulation, a functioning erection.
and for me, a stuffy nose and splitting headache.

> I'm pretty sure you don't just get random erections unless you're engaged in activity that you find sexually stimulating I think that's the case for Cialis but Viagra should make you "pop" regardless of what activity you're doing.
That’s not how it works at all. As someone with recent onset of ED taking viagra regularly, it’s been fantastic but it just makes me function like I should. It takes about an hour to take effect (usually less for me) and lasts a little over 4 hours with some lingering effects for several hours later, with diminishing effects towards the 4 and above hours. If I’m sexually stimulated during that time physically and or…

Or they grew accustomed to the erections and no longer found them annoying, which is how I read it.
There must be a market for pants that have room for this.
> The OxHARP trial was a meticulously designed double-blind, placebo-controlled study involving 75 participants who had experienced a minor stroke and showed signs of mild to moderate small vessel disease. Each participant received sildenafil, a placebo, and cilostazol (a similar drug) over three-week periods in a randomised order. I feel like dudes will know if they got Viagra or not? It doesn't seem like cilostazol…
Viagra doesn't work for everyone; it's not like you take it an get automatically erect, even with sexual stimulus. There are many reasons for ED, some of them in the brain, some of them in hormones. Viagra only helps with cardiovascular ones.
