Pill popping society aside, let's just establish that there are risks involved. 1. Tolerance. Expensive little blue pill needed for sex, sex associated with little blue pill, try to have sex without little blue pill, no response (either physiological/psychological), and so ergo, if you like sex, you need a little blue pill every time. So if you want to pay to have sex, go ahead (wait a second...). 2. Abuse. So, people are stupid, and some will overdose on anything if you let them. I suspect the ER will get a lot more cases of priaprism if this occurs because some person will take 10 of them after he has a few beers at a party or something. This is actually a surgical emergency, because if you're erect for more than 4 hours, it's possible for your manhood to become gangrenous and fall off. Caveat Emptor. Semi-legit medical opinion to the rescue!

They are allowable expenses, however, for flexible spending accounts, so you can use pre-tax dollars to pay for them. Michael, I was of course being a bit tongue-in-cheek with my replies, but the point remains. Your definition of "need" and others' definition of "need" may be very different. On one level, none of us "need" sex, in the sense that we will physically die without it. It's certainly an activity in high demand, however. How frequent and how satisfying the meeting of the sexual urge should be is a very personal matter; everybody has their own "needs" in that regard. Who is to say that the non-Viagra-enhanced male does not "need" to have sex 4 times a night, when 2 times should be enough for everybody? At what point does one's performance level fall low enough that you concede he "needs" Viagra? My point about the Pill is that few people "need" it, either. And one can actually have sex as much as one wants without it, and even without the risk of having babies. The Pill is mostly only "needed" by women who want to have sex without a condom (or diaphragm or sponge or whatever) without significant risk of conception (though I am well aware that some portion of women who take it do so to ease significant levels of discomfort during parts of their cycle... I don't think that's most of them, though). Sure, I'm not particularly in favor of a "pill-popping society," but I'm also very glad that I have access to Claritin over-the-counter. I don't "need" to visit my friends who have cats, but it sure is nice to be able to do so without beginning to sneeze violently about 20 minutes after I walk in the door.
