    This tweet does not understand the difference between libido and erection. I’m happy for him that he’s so ignorant. I wish the same for all of you, truly.

    Because erectile dysfunction is when you’re plenty horny but the flag keeps going up and down anyway. ED pills do not make you horny, they help your vascular system direct the blood where it needs to go to keep the flag raised. They only work when you are already aroused.

    When you take one before date night, you might feel a little flushed but that’s it. You don’t immediately get hard out of nowhere. Your nutsack tyrant doesn’t materialize next to you with a hammer and whip like a demon ready to slave drive you into machismo.

      Interesting. I had no idea they worked like that.

      Sounds like taking melatonin for sleep. It’s not going to put you to sleep unless you’re in a sleepy headspace

    I knew a guy that did this with his gf regularly. They’d take a full day off, phones off, he’d pop a viagra and they’d both do a molly.

      I’ve never found MDMA to be sexual. Yeah, you like physical contact, and definitely feel the love, but it never made a horndog out of me. I think that’s an old wives tale, and I’ll say I’ve got plenty of experience over the last 15+ years.

        He was also the dealer, so no, I do not and never did.

        Though, FWIW, entirely not recommended for long-term practice. That much molly regularly can really mess up your brain chemistry. It didn’t end well for them, but she was also a depressed wreck.

    Not that I disagree with the post… but the general public out here wilding about vaccines and tylenol and fluoride and shit yet missing this extra-stupid medical “conspiracy” will never not be funny to me.

    The FDA doesn’t like greenlighting drugs of dubious direct clinical benefit with high abuse potential, so for the sake of expediency, Pfizer decided to push the narrative that Viagra definitely wasn’t fun unless you had peepee problems. No one wants to look like they have peepee problems, so not enough people who’ve tried it are willing to call a spade a spade and say it’s fun af regardless of age or necessity.

    Thus the narrative persists.

    I’m 60. They are useful for recreational purposes. Going one round is not a problem, but the second round? I used to measure refractory periods in minutes, then hours. Now I could use a calendar.

    Enjoy the peace of impotency? Surely he doesn’t think his penis actually has a brain right? Its your brain that makes you horny, and it will still make you horny even if the equipment don’t work anymore.

    If you’re that horny-brained that its causing you stress, your best option (aside from therapy, cause that’s expensive) is to get offline and find a hobby to distract your mind with.

      Yes exactly! That’s why I go offline to go bird watching as a hobby! Occasionally, as a treat, I’ll peep in on naked adults with their curtains open.

      Yeah plus extreme depression and negative self image gave me the peace that is being referred to more than impotency ever did

      Plato, Republic, Book I, Cephalus’ speech:

      How well I remember the aged poet Sophocles, when in answer to the question, How does love suit with age, Sophocles⁠—are you still the man you were? Peace, he replied; most gladly have I escaped the thing of which you speak; I feel as if I had escaped from a mad and furious master. His words have often occurred to my mind since, and they seem as good to me now as at the time when he uttered them. For certainly old age has a great sense of calm and freedom; when the passions relax their hold, then, as Sophocles says, we are freed from the grasp not of one mad master only, but of many.

    This reminds me of that Russian woman who subdued and bound a burgular to a chair, after which she fed him only dick pills and kept him as a sex toy for a week.

    I should risk breaking into Russian homes, I think
