Children/Erectile DysfunctionFollow

If we don't tell them what a ***** is then surely they can't have it!

Do you want our children taking Viagra and having sex? Oh you'd like that wouldn't you.

I like pharmacological ads. It's fun to hear that the side effects are worse than the thing they are used to cure. I have seen multiple ads that say a side effect was TB, I heard it while doing something else and had to ask my roommate if that's what they actually said.

For a bit I had a good time laughing at the TV whenever ads came on for Restless Leg Syndrome. Herpes ads are the best though.

"Sometimes daddies's peepees don't work right."

Sometimes daddy's peepee gets very tired and won't wake up no matter how hard you poke and pull it. So the doctor give daddy a special pill to let his peepee get a full nights worth of rest in a few minutes so it has all the energy it needs to go to work.

If his father had explained ED to him as a child we wouldn't have this problem.

See how easy that is?

Personally, I think if a childs old enough to ask, they're old enough to know . Doesn't have to be in great detail, doesn't need graphic images or descriptions, but I always try to answer my daughters questions, even the embarrassing ones, as honestly as I can.

She's almost 6, and she knows to some extent what a condom is, what a lesbian is, and what sex is (I didn't go into all the ins and outs in detail, but she saw a couple of dogs at it and asked). She find's the concept of lesbians the most amusing- funnily enough, she's not at all shocked that some women prefer women, but she keeps giggling that because she hugs her friend and her best friend is a girl, she's a lesbian .

Trying to talk around things only makes it worse and probably does have more to do with the poor communication skills of the so-called adult.

When my son was young (raised by his fundamentalist Christian mom) he was told that it's a sin for boys to sleep with other boys. I wasn't able to convince him they weren't talking about "sleep" and that I wasn't Satan incarnate by asking him to share a bed with his step-brother for actual sleep.

As far as I am aware, Canadian advertisements for prescription drugs are not allowed to mention what the drug is used for or the side effects for certain items, erectile disfunction included.

So those commercials up here are normally more creative and entertaining.

I'd pretty much like to see all pharmacological ads pulled.

Pharmaceutical ads. Pharmacological ads would be ads advocating for drug studies. Unless you really meant those.

If all drug ads were pulled, though, how would you know what to ask your doctor about?

You say pooshah, I say pusher.
