<<Understand that newer studies such as those of Viagra and Vasomax are using something called the International Index of Erectile Function. I am not all that familiar with it but as it was explained to me a man's erectile function is classified into one of five or six groups from nothing to fully, reliably rigid. If a drug moves a patient's response up one or more notches it is considered a response. A response to a clinician may still be a useless erection to a patient.>> Okay, let me enlighten you folks about how this is measured, Level 0 - 0 degree (nothing at all) pointing straight south Level 1 - 30 degrees Level 2 - 60 degrees Level 3 - 90 degrees Level 4 - 120 degrees Level 5 - 150 degrees Level 6 - 180 degrees (full erection) pointing straight north

Y'know, if I remember right (and I might not, it's been so long :-)) Hustler Magazine used a very similar quantitative scale. It was shown as a little icon next to their movie reviews. To draw an analogy, the little hand ranged from 2 to 6 pm. The later the "time", the less efficacious the video product was. No controls were performed.
