I don’t know how anyone can consider erectile dysfunction a vanity ailment. I hear extremo feminists talk about viagra as an evil medicine for rich white men to rape more with, and it’s incredibly offensive to me. It’s right up there with saying that abortion is for wanton sluts who want to fuck without consequences. Come on folks. It’s not that hard to just agree that proper sexual function is one aspect of health, and that everyone has a right to it.

To be fair, I was referring to an older way that I used to think. I’ve grown up a lot since then and made certain realizations that while these treatments are not medically necessary to one’s physical health, they are medically necessary for one’s mental health. So yes, you and I are in agreement.

For sure - that was clear. I was talking about others who still think this way. Cheers
