Medications that are meant for
improving one’s state of health may often
be used in order to prevent one from falling into
particular dysfunctional categories.
Some medications are particular manufactured
in order to help people who are already in dysfunctional
categories improve their conditions. However,
it is also noted that some drugs that are used
for particular purposes are even being used when
there is no apparent problem with one’s
health.
One drug that is currently being used in this
way is Viagra; it is being used as a recreational
drug basically because of the fact that it has
little of no side effects, particularly for younger
men.
Use of Viagra:
Viagra is actually a drug that is prescribed for
individuals (males) who suffer with impotency.
This impotency refers to erectile dysfunction,
and Viagra is the cure for it or at least enhances
one’s performance during sexual intercourse.
It must be said that Viagra has helped save many
marriages, and this proves the lauded success
rate of the drug that is around 80%.
Indeed, many males suffering fro erectile dysfunction
have been satisfied with Viagra’s effects.
However, there are still around 20% males who
are not satisfied with Viagra, and this is basically
because of the fact that Viagra did not cater
to their individual problems. Their problems might
have been because of other unknown causes, and
Viagra may not have been able to encompass those
causes of the problem.
Viagra as a Recreational
Drug?
In view of the large success that Viagra has had
with serving up to 80% men with little or no side
effects, many people are now using it as a recreational
drug. They are all aware of the benefits against
the chances of side effects, especially if they
are young, and so, younger men tend to indulge
in this prescription drug more than what is necessary.
No doubt, their sexual performances are enhanced
considerably but the question that people ask
is: should younger men really be permitted to
use as much Viagra as they want considering that
a large of amount of spending goes towards producing
Viagra? Whatever, the answer to this question
is, it must be noted that the percentage users
have shot up dramatically in this regard.
The following figures are interesting in this
regard. It must be noted that the number of men
between the ages of 18 to 45 shot up by 312%,
as opposed to 216% for men between the ages of
46-55 years.
What is the Harm?
It is quite evident that there are many more men
using Viagra today. This is because of the awareness
and the realization of the fact that it really
works and is not any ordinary drug.
This is not a problem because of the fact that
many people do really need to use it. However,
the problem seems to lie in the fact that there
are a great many younger people using it rather
than the older people. The statistics indicate
that there are indeed many younger people using
Viagra.
Though this is considered to be a problem and
whether the government wants to put a control
on this is one direction of thought. However,
people generally do not think anything of it when
they are already sexually fit. They believe it
gives them the edge. Many also think that there
is absolutely no harm in doing so. This may be
true but critics are basically the economic factor
that they are concerned with.
