I don't think people outside of the US realize just how prevalent the usage of Viagra and Cialis are here. Because they are now available as cheap generics, practically every male over 35 with an active sex life takes them. And the older they are, the more often they rely on them. Just add this to the list of pharmaceuticals that our population now requires to function, alongside SSRIs, statins, opiates, and Ozempic. I bet this is why there are STD epidemics in retirement homes across the country.

Over 35? Maybe I'm oblivious but isn't that a couple of decades too young?

I'm in my 30's and 30's aren't that old to need that at all.

38 and I use them. Not necessary but they do help with consistency.
