Whatever happened to Spanish Fly???

WARNING: Don’t read this blog if you are taking nitrates for chest pain as the combination could cause an unsafe drop in blood pressure….

 

 

I’ve had it. I am at my breaking point. I am formally protesting all of the ridiculous male enhancement commercials I cannot seem to escape from. It’s like a never ending carnival of silver haired men and non-silver haired women smiling in assorted before and after shots with a smug male voice over informing guys that life….could be better.

 

Um. Ok.

 

Listen. I have nothing against sex but these commercials are pushing my buttons…and not in the right way.

 

Cialis

 

Normally I would say they are the less offensive of the advertisements out there except for one damn thing. What the fuck is going on with the bathtubs? Really Cialis? Really? What is going on there? Not only are the bathtubs in bizarre outdoor settings but there are two of them. Separate. Not together. Seriously…who cares if he’s taking Cialis if the two of you are hanging in separate tubs? Not sexy Cialis. Pull the ad.

 

Viagra

 

If I have to watch one more gorgeous rich looking couple making freaking salad together or cuddling on a designer sofa with silly grins on their faces while the voice over chirps on about how life could be better…I’m going to puke. These are the “classy” Viagra commercials…the “tacky” Viagra commercials chortle out “vivaaaaaa Viagra”. Sweet, holy Jesus save men from the over 40 men with ED who think they can sing. On a final note, the warning at the end of these commercials is the stuff of nightmares. They make it sound like if you take Viagra you’re probably on a whole host of medications for various old people ailments. That is some scary shit man. The resulting sex could kill ya! I’m also horrified by the part where they tell you if the erection lasts for over eight hours to go see a doctor…no kidding.

 

Enzyte

 

Bottom of the barrel kids. These commercials are so grotesque I literally become ill when they pop on, always late at night. “That’s one happy Santa”….nasty. The character created for them is a guy called “Smiling Bob”. That’s right. I said it. Smiling Bob. The sad thing is…there is some lonely guy watching those commercials thinking, “hmmmm….”. “Upgrade your package” is the most disgusting one yet.

 

I suppose I should…bottom line it for you now. I know that ED is an embarrassing thing for guys and YES lack of sex can seriously impact your quality of life BUT it bothers me how much time and money go into this particular portion of the medical industry when we still don’t have a freaking cure for cancer.
