The Viagra Myth: The Surprising Impact on Love and Relationships Paperback - 2003

by Abraham Morgentaler

First line

In 1998, Viagra was first introduced to the world, and it is fair to say that the world has not been the same since.

From the jacket flap

Not since the development of the birth control pill has there been an event with such a revolutionary impact on our sexual behavior as the introduction of Viagra. Originally expected to be a treatment primarily for older men with erectile dysfunction, Viagra has come to be used by men of all ages and for a wide variety of reasons. Indeed, Viagra has so permeated our culture and our notions about what may be sexually possible that even men without any problems regularly take the medication in the hope that it will enhance their sexual performance or repair their intimate relationships. Viagra has thus created a second sexual revolution in some cases, inspiring partners to achieve a deeper level of intimacy and fulfillment, and, in other cases, preventing anything other than a purely physical relationship.

In The Viagra Myth Dr. Abraham Morgentaler (a practicing urologist on the faculty of Harvard Medical School) shows us that while Viagra has proved enormously helpful to many men, it has also uncovered previously ignored aspects of identity and authenticity in sexuality and relationships. Some men, for example, may fear telling their partner they are using Viagra, yet still struggle with the hope of being loved for their true self. Women who discover their partner has resorted to a secret sexual enhancer may complain, "I thought it was me who turned you on . . ." Viagra may improve a man's sexual abilities, but there may also be a profound cost involved.

If you or your partner is using or considering Viagra, or even if you are only wondering what it might be like to have a better sex life, this book is essential reading. It will provide insight and instruction about the reality of quick-fix solutions, sexuality, personal growth, and meaningful relationships.
