PKR, You're absolutely correct. The 'hard' ED market (pun intended) may be 10-20 million men, but the overall 'enhancement' market is only limited by the perception and vivid imagination of millions and millions of men everywhere. Bradpalm1

>>Brad, the truly impotent market is, in my opinion, only a fraction of the total market for an "erection enhancer". The recreational use by older and middle aged men that need to perform when they are not up to it,<< Good point (bad pun). However, there are the aforementioned side effects of priapism. Also, one wonders to what extent doctors would be willing to prescribe for "recreational" use. If they were, you are correct, there would be a huge market. Imagine those formerly somewhat ashamed of their poor performance crowding doctors offices for perscriptions. Doctors on the thread care to comment about the likely willingness of physicians to prescribe MUSE for enhancement of flagging libido (probably a better way to put it than "recreational use.")
