Lori, what you have said here has really made me think. I use Viagra because about 2 years ago I started having some problems maintaining erections (maybe due to my blood-pressure medication it turns out, but that's another post.) It was very troubling for me, as you might imagine, and Viagra enabled me to have sex with J. I can't tell you how depressing it was, at the age of 42, to think I might not be able to have sex again, and what a relief it was to find out that with Viagra I still could. Viagra has literally saved my sex life.
As a result, I have touted its use to people here, but as you say, not always for physical problems. Your post has made me consider the 'morality', if you will, of recommending that someone use it recreationally. I don't believe in judging them if that is what they decide to do; that is their choice as informed adults. But, for me to say, "Go ahead, do it!", crosses the line. Who am I to do that? In the future I'll continue to say how it helped me with my problem, but I won't cross that line again.
Thank you for challenging us to think; that is how we learn more about ourselves.
