(Mods, I am being adult here. If this is inappropriate, let me know and I will self-edit; but I kinda do feel duty-bound to let this info out.)
Lochnar, I gotta throw something out to the topic. I don't want this thread to get hijacked by erectile misfortunes, but you probably should know that it's NOT cool to have an erection for more than four hours, just like the ad says. I'm an EMT, I have seen such stuff--even the use of illicit drugs to get the same effect. These calls are more common than you'd think; people think that if one Viagra works well, two will work better. Persistent erections require prompt transport to a hospital because tissue damage could result to...I'll just say "valuable organs." It is also quite painful, as it is impossible to urinate while erect. Patients with a history of heart problems, high blood pressure or strokes are also increasing their normal risks.
The point of my post is, it is NOT advisiable to try to make yourself into Superman here. There are medical consequences.
(I apologize to anyone offended by this post.) I realize this is at the very periphery of what is being discussed, but I felt that I needed to make clear a very real danger most people wouldn't take seriously.
Edit: "high blood pressure or strokes" not "high blood or strokes pressure"
Edit2: Ah, I understand Lochnar. We can laugh at such people in common, you and I (because I can't do so on the job). I understand you're not advocating such misuse of medications (or illicit substances), and now see your point. My apologies if I offended you. I consider this sidebar closed, agreed?
