Viagra/Sex Offenders:"Leave prescriptions to the doctor"
Laura Berman, Ph.D., is a sex therapist, director of Chicago's Berman Center writing her column in the
Chicago Sun- Times supports my view about physicians prescribing Viagra to former sex-offenders. Dr. Berman writes: "In my clinical experience, healthy sexual encounters are actually a key part of a sex offender's successful recovery. They teach the sex offender to refocus his desire on an appropriate subject. Some convicted sex offenders have been in treatment for decades, with no recidivism. To deny them access to a normal sex life -- as refusing them treatment for erectile dysfunction would do -- would be counterproductive. Rather than aiding and abetting a sex offender, it's more likely that Viagra is being prescribed to those in a healthy, consensual relationship who are experiencing erectile dysfunction." She encourages that physicians, aware of the patient's prior sexual behavior, do the prescribing to the individual patient and not the politicians. ..Maurice.

Consider this. The sex offender is someone who can only achieve sexual arousal by illegal means. In other words, when he is placed in a socially-approved relationship, he finds himself unable to achieve and sustain an erection. It seems reasonable to imagine that he would then be driven to seek out the illegal sexual activity. Wouldn't we rather that he use Viagra if necessary to enable him to engage in lawful sexual activity, and in so doing, perhaps condition himself to be sexually aroused by socially-approved stimuli?
Obviously we agree on the issue.
By the way, I haven't heard any followup on what was the outcome of all the May brouhaha about the Viagra topic. ..Maurice.

A new research has shown that the consumption of watermelon can yield surprisingly positive results in men with ED. Watermelon has been found to make improvements in ED condition as good as an ED drug. If more and more people experience the benefits it won’t be surprising if the sales of drugs like tadalafil experience a slump.
