    Was here to say this. When ever they find out some unexpected benefit of a drug, they often invent a disorder and then offer up the treatment.

    Things like erectile dysfunction are not really a disorder. It’s normal for men to find it more difficult to get and maintain an erection as they exit their 20s. And it will keep reducing.

    Imagine if 50 year old men still walked around like 15 year old boys. My gawd. The world couldn’t survive.

    Other drugs with invented dysfunctions.

    Mail pattern baldness. Again natural and normal for men.

    Eye lash thickness. Yes there is a prescription drug to treat your thin eye lashes.

    There is a prescription sex drug for women. And here is the best part. It just makes women relaxed and sleepy. Yeah … so think about that.

    Our society is fucked.
    Natural changes as part of development being labeled as things that need treated.

    Treat those wrinkles.

    Treat that hair loss.

    Treat those thin eye lashes

    Treat that flat ass syndrome

        I mean the body pain sucks. The loss of energy. Muscle tone.

        But wrinkles ? Hair loss?

        Our capitalistic culture decided it needed people to pay for vanity comforts. Have made it so people are depressed about natural changes that aren’t health related.

        Makeup and cosmetic companies used to say you had to stay youthful and pretty or your husband would leave you for his young secretary. Now they tell you, you need lip filler and Botox at 25 "for yourself ". So you can feel good about yourself.

        Bitch, please.

        Propaganda to first make you feel like shit then offer you a solution that cost money.

          And now we have women with swollen faces and lips everywhere, like some platypus fetish, and hair transplants look like shit once the rest of the hair thins out.
