Yes, Viagra has helped millions of couples have sex, but it is important to acknowledge that it is not always a welcome addition to a relationship 🖊️ k8_lister via ipaperviews 🔗

who don’t need it, just to make sure they can perform on cue. But its primary demographic has always been the older gentleman who found his erection has decided to retire as well. No surprises there, but what this also means is that there is a hell of a lot of older women out there who potentially found themselves press-ganged into service aboard the SS Viagra. And just as older men experience sexual dysfunction, so too do older women, and there was no blue pill on offer to help with that.

Other women reported that the arrival of Viagra had signalled the end of foreplay, which they had rather been enjoying. One participant lamented: “After 20-odd years of marriage, foreplay is one of those things that goes by the way. However I was trying to maintain that this was, you know, quite an important part of making love, so when Viagra came along the whole foreplay thing just vanished.

“Many women complain that their pleasure is not prioritised,” she told me. “It is all about ‘look what I’ve got!’ They feel: ‘Wait a minute. Where am I in all this? Is it just my lover and his penis and I come third?’” And that’s what this is really all about, isn’t it – the penis? The reason women and their pleasure are left out of so many conversations around Viagra is because of the unchallenged assumption that a raging hard-on must mean good sex for all. Why do we even need to ask these women if they are enjoying themselves when they are in the presence of the mighty rod? Of course they are!
