news.bbc.co.uk Seems to me that the out of the many men who decided to try Viagra, a very large percentage were not impotent and wanted to try and see if Viagra would make them "young" again. IMO in these men there wasn't any embarrassment since they did not feel the shame of actually being impotent. There still is a very large number of impotent men who have not sought treatment. When you really have the problem it is a lot more difficult to seek help than it is to ask the doctor for Viagra out of mere curiosity. It is a marketing challenge for any company to get men to get over embarrassment.

Little Gorilla <<Don't be so smug... you were scooped by the entire Yahoo board. Embarrassing, eh?>> Little Gorilla: Not at all..especially, like VLAD, I now refuse to read any of the Yahoo! Boards.. Trying to find anything useful among the yelling and spamming is not worth the effort.. The larger question should be: why relevant VVUS information...the announced actions of a major brokerage firm and VVUS market maker....does not get discussed on this Board? BigKNY3
