I had to come here and vent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so tired of the male enhancement drug commercials, there are so many any more, it is really getting under my skin. Does anyone know any one to write about these, they should be right up there with the cigarette commercials as far as I am concerned. Maybe I am the only one who feels this way, but it seems like they keep coming up with new drugs for this, get real, don't they have more important things to spend their research money on? Now they come up with some stinking cream, all I can say is, OMG, get real!

Do they have to have the commercials on televison, can't they just print the crap and put it in doctors offices, I know their intended audience are males, but my four year old watches tv with us and she is seeing this crap too, I don't want her thinking that a pill can cause this much happiness. The pharmacuetical industry really needs to rethink their advertising campaign and where they put it.

Well, if anything pops up, and I think of anything... I will share...LOL... Very Happy

But, these commericials are a reflection of our society....

When I was working on my undergraduate degree I has was forced to take a theater course.... Not even close to my major. Anyway, the professor stated in class one day that theater/movies etc etc... mirrors life and today's society...Then I thought he was full of crap... today, I am starting to agree....

I know what you mean, good, it does get tiring that with all going on in todays world that this is such an important subject for some. I tend to try and ignore those commercials but I can see how it would be aggrevating, in todays world it is all about the money, if you remember a few years ago the big push was on antidepressants, every time you turned on the television there was a commercial for a new drug to make you happy. They used to air these commercials at their targeted audience during the soap operas during the day. I always thought, that if I sat around and wathched the soaps all day, I would need medication too. To us, erectile disfunction maybe a sore spot but to many men this is a serious issue, I do agree however that they need to find a new arena to advertise, I don't think the television is necessarily the place they should be doing it. They don't know who would be watching, especially the smaller children who are old enough to ask what they are talking about and enhancing their vocabulary, guess this is not the best platform.

I feel your pain, but I don't think it is going anywhere anytime soon, guess you can just come here and vent, we will be happy to listen.

honestly if I knew someone to write I would and let them know that enough is enough, you can not sit down and watch any type of programming like a sporting event or hunting show that has any thing to do with men or you have to watch these stupid commercials. I know these shows need sponsorship but how would men feel if they advertised, menstral cramping medications or tampons during the commercials, maybe I should write the producers of the show and tell them as a female watching their shows I would appreciate some female advertisement and see what they say.

well, they do have mentral cramping and tampon related commericals on the tube... However, they are not shown on the hunting and fishing shows... they are shown at other times. Times and shows where they think women are watching..

You guys are so funny on this thread, I know the commercials do get on your nerves, but there are some that are cute, I love the cell phones and the ginger bread man is fixing his house and the guy reaches his hand down and pulls the roof off and the ginger bread wife is in the tub and screams. I found that commercial hilarious.

Good, I don't think that their intention is to irritate you, If they are on the man channels then there will be man commercials and as all of us ladies know that the most important function to a man is his sexuality, give him a choice, cut off his leg or lose that function and I bet he is hopping around the next day on one leg. I think we women get frustrated because of the reaction our men have to it, like they need a reminder, I find the big V a little annoying myself, I know grown men that have no problem at all but will want these medications to enhance what is not broke. It does get out of hand. I sympethize with you, but I think this is a growing market that is not going anywhere.

I hear you erb, I am probably stuck with them, I was just in a foul mood and there was another one of those commercials again. I can see if there is a legitamate need for the medication but if it is just to fix what ain't broke or come on are we not supposed to age out of some things? Like when we are 80, are we supposed to be able to run a marathon? NO! Probably not real good on the old ticker, right? I just think it is advertised so much and it is one of those things that if one sees it on tv, they think they have it, so they want the medication for a condition that they really don't have.

I agree but don't they always have that little blurb that says to make sure you are healthy enough, LOL, yeah like men care about that. I am just kidding here.

Bottom line is there is money in the industry and they will continue to produce what ever makes them the most money, sorry good, you are stuck with this type of commerical for a long time to come.

what is the T-A-D-A, don't understand, please explain?

I think you are stuck with this type of commercial too for a long time, they are making a lot of money in this industry and not going to quit any time soon. Just walk out of the room when the commercials come on, lol, you will be ok, lol.
