25 years ago on these dates, Viagra pills, like Matías Colsada's cheerful girls, landed in Spanish pharmacies amidst the joy of the people, who took scientific progress as a joke. Viagra seemed like a new variant of cubata...
If I remember the date it is not, as the reader will have maligned, for something intimate. I went to write a report about the Viagra factory in Europe, located at the time in Amboise, a French town stimulating for its landscape and historical heritage: Leonardo Da Vinci died there, Mick Jagger had a mansion there and an important castle stood out where Francis I and Charles V had them (they were a lot to discuss).
At that time, Viagra was made to combat male impotence, hence the popular revelry. In another sign of the great advances of humanity, today it is made to combat erectile dysfunction, a term that confers solemnity on this disease, which already affects 95.9% of couples in the northern hemisphere over 75 years of relationship
Is this blue pill taboo? I maintain that yes. The best-prepared generation of sexagenarians in history – mine, modesty aside – knows how to do a lot of things – from mortifying a line judge to multiplying, subtracting, adding and dividing – but hesitates when faced with the dilemma of whether to try or not Viagra.
Who more and who less feels curiosity. Intellectual anxieties, oops. Try to try, to have judgment and be able to give better advice, when the case comes. Only in some cases is it related to external pressures, specific to the conjugal sphere.
- Amancio, either you take it in front of me or I dissolve it in orange juice...
Viagra is a male issue, which is why it lacks social or discursive interest, unless someone includes it among the challenges of the new masculinity (something tells me that we will soon see a ministry of New Masculinities). It being so, it is understood that Viagra and its generics are not paid for by the State: let's see who is the handsome man who forms a platform and goes out to demonstrate!
Spain is not for subsidies.
