 Re: Is this common?
The point of the pill is for outside support. The power of the mind is more powerful than any pill but if a guy thinks the pill is gonna be a solution to his problem then it probably will. In Bud's case the pill ended up being the ultimate placebo in that he hadn't even taken the damn thing (yet it still worked - lol).
A similar story to getting up for the sexy man contest: In his bachelor days, Bud was watching a Burlesque type show in Hamburg, with a group of Buddies. He had been receiving the attentions of a gorgeous lapdancer whilst the "acts" were being performed and you could have hung a flag from his pole. "I have to go dance, now", she said and took her leave. Bud and his pals were treated to an especially good show by his girl who, at the end of her act beckoned Bud up on stage to take a bow with her. A lot of ribbing from his compatriots forced Bud to join her at which point she began a slow sensual dance with Bud for the audience. She sank to her knees in front of him and unzipped his pants. Bud's pride and joy were nowhere to be found, they'd all but retreated internally in sheer abject terror of "having to perform" in front of this anonymous (and where his friends were concerned, not so anonymous) crowd.
You're so right about the nerves. The stress. The demand to "perform". Perhaps if the little blue pill had been available then, though, and Bud had taken one - this story might have had a different ending entirely.
Whatever works for you is good. Whatever works for me is good.
Whatever works.....is good.
