		<description>unless you haven&#039;t experienced it e.d. is terrible.   besides my mind and other things i lost, an erection is the one i miss most.  sex, intimacy, orgasm are terrible losses.  viagra and varieties just don&#039;t do it.
i know (men) you will but hopefully you will loose interest before you loose ability to get it up; i haven&#039;t lost interest or desire.  just the ability.</description>

		<description>Alot of men are too embarrased to go to the doctor about it. It&#039;s their manhood and pride that are being affected and speaking to their doctor about it will feel to them like the worst thing in the world. What they don&#039;t realise is their doctor is professional and probably sees dozens of ED cases a week. It&#039;s just another day for him. He&#039;s not going to judge you, or embarrass you. He&#039;s there to help you.</description>

		<description>[foxmode]
And in other news, the Brazilian wandering spider is facing extinction due to unregulated harvesting and trading activities.  Spider parts are reputed to be a cure for erectile dysfunction... despite the lack of any evidence that anything beyond the spider venom has any effect.

Indeed, several other similar spiders are also threatened.  Spider poachers are misrepresenting other species as being &quot;genuine Brazilian wandering spiders&quot;.

Doctors and public health officials urge the public not to self-medicate and consult with their family physician instead.  Millions ignore this advice.

		<description>Can someone break down some of the female sexual dysfunctions? I am evidently ignorant because I have absolutely no idea how this would help any women unless the vital parts did not open up. I believe it uses similar cells for the movement down there.</description>
