Bruce: Apparently there is enough room in this ED market for more than one remedy. It appears to me that Viagra because of its simplicity will still bring more users of Muse and other products to the counter mainly because the trend now is one of openness to try something - anything and see what works best. A well know financial market timer remarked on his show that it was rumored that Viagra might also be used by women to stimulate desire?? A guys gonna have to be ready for that eh what! Angler

Bruce, I believe your post is very misleading. First of all, let me comment about the posts on the ED website. I briefly read through about 2/3 of the 112 posts listed. It seemed like about 1/2 of the posts are just repeats of the same posts. From the posts I read I made the following conclusions 1)MUSE failures generally failed on all other treatments. 2)Most posters had severe ED and seems like nothing is going to work for them. 3)I only noted one Dr who did not like MUSE (David Casey). Any affiliation with Pfizer? 4)As someone mentioned "I think some of the frequent posters here are going to be disappointed in Viagra and back to square one". Now for some interesting points: 1)Seems like most complainers were not given proper instructions--I don't read a single poster whos Dr advised using the Actis band before using MUSE (read #22 The patients Dr. told him "Pain and soreness came from poor training and his success rate was about 60%". 2)Read post #61 Evidently the Grey Clinic has had good results with MUSE but "it is important to screen candidates carefully". Finally, as far as Viagra vs MUSE is concerned consider this: THE MEDIAN PATIENT IN THE VIAGRA STUDIES HAD ERRECTIONS SUFFICIENT FOR INTERCOURSE A FEW TIMES IN THE FOUR WEEKS BEFORE ENTERING THE STUDIES WHEREAS IN THE MUSE STUDIES THE PATIENTS HAD NO ERECTIONS OR INTERCOURSE FOR FOUR MONTHS BEFORE ENTERING THE MUSE STUDY. There will be a rude awakening for those who believe that ED is a simple disorder with a simple cure. Regards, VLAD
