TIL you can have such a massive boner that the rest of your body gives up on life

[–] Anivia@feddit.org 13 points 3 days ago

It's less about the boner being massive, and more about the boner staying up for hours and thus resulting in a blood clot that could then pass to your heart or brain and kill you

Surprising it actually contains drugs that are prescription-only in most countries. As in, I'm surprised the product actually works as advertised, and isn't just some bullshit "aphrodisiac" supplement or something like that.

I'm also wondering how much they charged for it, because sildenafil isn't cheap, at least not in my experience. I suppose they might have gotten their hands on some expired lot?

Viagra is cheap on the black market.

[–] Anivia@feddit.org 7 points 3 days ago

So is Tadalafil (aka Cialis), which is way superior. Not many reasons to still take Sildenafil (aka Viagra) nowadays

Same as most gas station boner pills. It's cheaper and easier to just compound the real stuff than it is to come up with something else. When they get caught they "change the formula" and put it right back on the market.

I'm single, but I take it to stop myself rolling out of bed at night.

Two words: penile fracture.

Stop, I can only get so erect.

That moment when your erection rips out of your skin and the tip knocks over your laptop.
