Doctor, is my heart strong enough for Sex?

[Catherine Vincent]

The narrative wants you to ask this of your doctor in their advertisements for Viagra. It's kind of sad we have to ask our physicians if we can have sex or not.

[tridim]

1. Doctor, is my stance wide enough for public restroom sex?

[nomorenomore08]

2. I think Kafka nailed it 90 years ago in his story "A Country Doctor."

Modern doctors really have taken on the role of clergy, to a large extent.

[Kutjara]

3. "Yes, your heart's strong enough, but...

...you're too ugly for sex."

Really, asking this question is just inviting every examining-room comedian to have a laugh at the patient's expense.

5. I guess a way to get around it is to tell the doc that you want to start jogging.

If s/he clears you to jog, then you're okay for sex.:)

[Kutjara]

8. That's a good approach, but what if you're...

...healthy enough for sex, but not for jogging? I mean, you might be too feeble to run a marathon, but still be able to bonk without keeling over.

Maybe what's needed is a "Shagging Equivalency Scale," which would consist of activities that place the same stress on the heart as various types of sexual activity, but don't require the patient to come right out and say, "Doc, can I fuck?"

So you might find a patient asking, "Am I strong enough to hang curtains?" To which the doctor would reply, "Full length or kitchen?" By referring to the SES, the patient could then be assured that he was too unwell for double reverse cowgirl with a twist, but perfectly able to manage light mutual masturbation. And, more importantly, everyone's blushes would be spared.

10. LOL!

4. "No but I'll take a blowjob"

Sorry, my inner 13 year old keeps emerging.

6. I had a friend who dropped dead of a heart attack at 55

who'd recently confided he'd just started taking Viagra.

Scary stuff.

[AlCzervik]

7. i am so sick of ads for dick problems, can't pee, can't get it up, have a pill.

what do we have, ads for tampons usually set at a volleyball game, yeah when i have cramps playing volleyball is exactly what i want to do.

[Donnachaidh]

9. what is even sadder is the thought that men are so insecure they NEED

(or think they need) pharmaceutical enhancements at all. If there is a physical *problem* like diabetes, which may cause problems, it's understandable that one might need viagra on a short term basis. But you STILL have to address the problem that is causing the malfunction in the first place.

But some studies have stated that about 50% of viagra use is recreational! Do any of these people consider there may be long term effects from their wish to "F*ck like a pornstar"? The pharmaceutical companies don't give a shit if their products damage you, because they know they will probably be hit with class action suits down the road, AFTER the damage is done.

People need to stop *thinking with the small head* and stop using these drugs for recreation. And men who do use them for that purpose need to address their emotional hangups about sex. :rant:

13. It's like women who are so insecure they think they NEED bigger breasts.

I think it is REALLY sad that young girls are made to feel so inadequate and that the "doctors" are destroying natural beauty in favor of everyone having ta-tas shaped like cantaloupes and turning themselves into a Tex Avery cartoon.

Gone is the goddess of love, I am afraid.

[Donnachaidh]

14. that's true too

Considering the wealth of evidence that shows many women have suffered debilitating diseases caused by silicone implants. It's astounding what people will do, all the while using someone else's ideas on what *beauty* is.

[hootinholler]

11. I'm never gonna ask, I'll tell him hell yes my heart is strong enough! Why?

Because I want my epitaph to read "He came and he went!"

-Hoot

[flamin lib]

12. It's an advertising gimmick.

The sub-text is, "Man, this is gonna' be soooooooo good and you're gonna' just wear her out!"

I'm looking forward to the potential side effects including corporal tunnel syndrome . . .

[lonestarnot]

15. For a moment I thought you were discussing dickie mcbushitler.

And then I considered Lie'n Lynn. :puke: what a scene.

[flvegan]

16. Attempt at averting liability. That's all.

[screembloodymurder]

17. If you've got a bad heart, it's a legitimate question.

Although the pill might kill you first.

[11 Bravo]

18. Mr. Limbaugh, your HEART is fine. It's your HARD that's seriously sub-standard.

I recommend 100 mg of Viagra, a trip to the Dominican Republic, and another steamy evening with a 12 year old boy.

[Texasgal]

19. What's sad about that?

Do we not consult our doctor when we go in a exercise or a diet plan?

Sorry,I don't get what the issue is. :shrug:
