I can't hear you, I have a hard on.

I heard an article on NPR the other day about erectile dysfunction medication that was concerning. It turns out those meds like Cialias and Viagra cause hearing loss; at first it was thought that it was only temporary hearing loss but more cases of permanent hearing loss are turning up. I told the Roommate about this finding and he was surprised the medication had such a serious side effect. I asked him why is it surprising that a medication that gave it's taker a four-plus-hour erection would have serious side effects? Come on, a four hour erection? Do you really need that bad enough to loose one of your five senses?

Of course, I would imagine most men would find that a plus. Can't hear the nagging. But I guess that's just my take on it. Maybe they should start marketing it that way, two birds with one stone.

If you have an erection that lasts over 4 hours, you're supposed to seek medical attention.
Hell, I don't think anyone takes the stuff for MEDICAL attention.

Never tried it myself. There's no call for a 4 minute erection around here much less 4 hours.

Maybe they should just work out there emotional problems and get a real erection!

Is that wahy the roommate never hears what the two of us say to him, and here I thought it was the age.

Yeah, maybe I should start taking it too, so I don't have to listen to HIM. Sounds like a plan.
