I disagree with your analysis about pyscogenics being "cured" by Viagra. I believe what Ed was saying is that some will eventually fail on Viagra. The only reason they succeed on Viagra is because they believe it will work and since it is all in their head it then does work. Remember that Viagra does not produce erection but enhances the ability to have and maintain an erection. If the individual is not "with it" mentally then the Viagra will not work and the patient will fail. I agree that psycogenics will be "cured" by Viagra simply by the placebo effect ie they believe it will work so it works and once their confidence is restored they are "cured" and can perform without Viagra. The same applies to those psycogenics that take MUSE or Caveject.
