These ads need to go. In addition to everything else mentioned, doctors are supplying ED medication to sex offenders. And if you are one of the many women victimized by a sexual predator taking ED medication, the LAST THING you want to encounter are ads for Viagra every ten freaking minutes during prime time.
Good point. And since Viagra takes about an hour to work, we can see how countless women don't want to be reminded of the trauma of walking down the street, being forced into an alley, held down while their attacker takes a tiny blue pill, and then lying there for an hour until he's ready. ED medicine is a weapon and must be stopped! And it's not just assault victims who would benefit from the ban. Even people having consenual sex have been hurt by ads for these evil pills:

I am so happy someone is trying to get ED Ads pulled. It is not only for the children and young people, but it is also embarrassing for mixed company adults. Not only is it embarrassing, those love scenes of planned sex have made me sick of sex. What happened to spontaneity and sex because of love. I am embarrassed to see it in front of my husband of 60 years. I hate to think what I would feel as a young married woman. I hope Representative Moran gets to hear how your audience feels. If it must be advertised, then don’t use those fake love scenes. Use only the medical facts.
See! Married women are suffering because of these ads too! Can you imagine anything more embarrassing than having an ad about a sexual aid come on while you're watching TV with someone you've been intimate with for a mere SIXTY YEARS?? How awful! The only thing more embarrassing would be having your wife use her real name while posting online about how she's sick of sex! Thank god Helen Tucker's husband dodged that bullet! Unfortunately, these evil ads don't discriminate based on age. They're hurting younger couples too!:

I am glad to see someone finally has enough guts to say enough is enough and try to put a stop to these obnoxious ads. They are the most disgusting things on TV. It is really a shame what has happened to television today and then the government wants to know why there is so much teenage pregancies and delinquency today. All you have to do is turn on TV and there is your answer.
Thank you, Mary! We couldn't have said it better ourselves! ED drugs are CLEARLY responsible for teen pregnancies! I mean, if it weren't for ED drugs, how would teenage boys ever get it up?? Obviously they wouldn't. But we have to disagree with your other point: these ads aren't the most disgusting things on TV. Some things are much worse:

ED ads? big deal. You know the ads that *I* would like to see banned? All of the ads targeting women and telling us that we have smelly armpits, and offensive…well, south of the armpits, if you know what I mean. They are endless. You don’t grow up watching those ads, as a woman, and not feel something is wrong with you for just having the body parts all women have. It’s tyrannical and a much bigger issue than ED ads.
Sing it, sister! Womyn have been victimized by those ads for way too long! Those parts are all natural. And those smells that come out of them? Sure they're probably the result of poor hygiene, but so what? Though...we actually don't know what you mean by south of the armpits. Are the ads targeting smelly elbows? We're not really sure.
Here's what we are sure of, though: we applaud Rep. Moran's efforts to ban these ads. We know it wasn't an easy decision. He undoubtedly consulted his staff, thought long and hard, and worked as many polls as he could get his hands on before he finally came to a conclusion. And even in the face of stiff opposition, he's still managed to rise to the occassion. Rep. Moran, we salute you!
