FirstMed Consulting Blog

We at Firstmed keep abreast of all the news pertaining to the treatment of impotence or erectile dysfunction. This Sunday, a cover page article appeared in The Sunday Times entitled, ‘Viagony and the Ecstasy’. This article touched on many relevant and topical issues surrounding the sale of ED treatments. We have therefore decided that for the remainder of the week, we will dedicate our Blog to discuss some of the issues mentioned and hope that you give your views too.

One of the first issues discussed in the Sunday Times was the growing numbers of young recreational users of ED treatments. This is an issue that we at Firstmed have highlighted many times in the past.

Recreational user of Viagra is undeniable but it is by no provides an accurate profile of an average Viagra user. It was somewhat inevitable that a drug which is proved to increase sexual stamina was going to fast become part of the trend towards experimentation with drugs in today’s modern society. However, the type of customer who combines Viagra with hard partying, drug use and group sex is not the norm.

Far from simply giving sexual license to those looking to sell themselves as sexual supermen, the mainstay of customers seeking Viagra, tend to be the genuine article- Men who due medical reasons, age or psychological reasons are unable to maintain an erection sufficient enough for penetration.

ED treatments like Viagra and its predecessors Levitra and Cialis, have been very successful in treating ED as a genuine medical condition and in giving back sexual satisfaction to a host of men and their partners. I wonder if these patients find it objectionable that Viagra is often pegged in the media as being a destructive force in today’s society and that those who take it are thrill seekers. We would like to hear your views.
