CULTURE: Fathers Lock Up Your Daughters! Or Just Lock Up Your Viagra...

So…I have this girlfriend that steals Viagra from her dad. Seriously. I know this because I found it while fumbling through her bedside drawer, half asleep with a migraine, praying to the hangover gods that I might find a trusty pain killer. I grabbed what I was hoping was Vicodin (or at least prescription strength ibuprofen) and was about to pop the little guy in my parched mouth when my friend interrupted with a shriek, “Don’t take that!” Initially I assumed she was just being selfish and wanted to keep the tiny, compressed bundle of migraine-be-gone joy to herself. “That’s…uhhh…Viagra,” she mumbled, and then explained how she steals it from her dad’s medicine cabinet when she visits just in case she beds a guy who might need a “lift” after their drunken bar date. All right then.

Needless to say I never found a painkiller. But the situation led to some thinking about how many other women do that very same thing. After all, it did happen on Rescue Me right? Denis Leary’s character was continuously dosed with a cocktail of sleeping pills and Viagra by his disturbed pseudo-girlfriend. Isn’t TV precious? My point being, this kind of thing doesn’t just happen on TV. My girlfriend is proof. Like, real people in real time kind of proof. And it’s not just American women that are doing the dosing these days.

According to Reuters, it seems that a town in central Brazil has implemented a program nicknamed “Pinto Alegre” or “Happy Penis,” where mayor Joao de Souza Luz dishes out free prescriptions of Viagra to elderly couples.

Ah, but here’s the catch. In order to discourage cheating (because we all know that getting that first hard-on in ten years must make men feel like they’ve got to share it with the world), the town only gives the free Viagra to the wives who've registered for the happy-old people-sex program. Brazil thinks it's pretty smart.

What the geezers don’t realize is that they should just do what we sneaky Americans do—wait for your wife or girlfriend to claim she’s “too tired” to have sex, let her pass out, fumble through her bedside drawer, snag the sex pills, buckle yourself into your motorized wheelchair and hightail it to the nearest peep show.

I think I would be more concerned with who she's cheating on me with than the fact that she has Viagra in her dresser drawer. But, eh... That's me.

I don't think she means girlfriend in that sense.

Oh sorry, it said bedside drawer so I assumed it was a girlfriend...

girlfriend as in "homegirl." hope that helps....

The thing that stands out most about this (perhaps bad choice of words) is that your friend would think it necessary to give her would-be bed-buddy some Viagra. What's that all about?

When my husband had a bit of a cold, we found out that NyQuil and Crown mixes in his system and becomes Green Death Whiskey Viagara.

is anyone else remotely disturbed by the title of this piece?

That just makes me smile...warms the heart.

I suspect the gal is telling a bit of a story here.

Women can and sometimes DO use Viagra to make the "little boat" "raise periscope."

It does sound remotely incestious.

Damn the torpedoes!

Yes, I had to do a double take myself, and my first reaction was, with a little disgust, "What the hell kind of sick..." and it was really the only reason I read the story... I'm much less confused now though...

Actually, no. The thing that stands out most about this piece is that someone would reach into someone else's drawer, grab whatever pills can be found there, and be prepared to ingest them without first bothering to identify them.

Its really not that hard to believe. it's viagra, woopty frickin' doo. Now if it was cialus THEN it would be a story

Ahh, I see. Still haven't gotten the hang of this, I guess. . .

Men don't worry about consenting...were just happy someone is willing...

Any time a guy has had whiskey dick around me, the spirit was more than willing, even though the flesh was limp.

Do you usually pop random pills from other people's bedside drawers?

I was when i read it.
I initially thought some new "studies" revealed tha who uses viagra goes straight to the daughter rather than the wife

Does this actually work or is it a placebo effect? Does it enhance sensitivity or just cause a fem-boner?

Well...Viagra is a vasodilator. I suspect if there is more blood to the area, and more "flush", there would be more sensitivity...?
