Statistically, someone on this thread, or their mate, might have a medical issue that would leave them the option of no longer being able to have that sort of intimacy without taking a pill. I would imagine that whether it's a younger man, or an older gentleman, it must be a frustrating experience. Especially if you're in a long term relationship, do you just give up on that part of it?? I would respect a man who would put his pride aside and be most concerned about the needs of his partner. For a lot of women, it might not matter, but I think it's a decision for each couple...and I'm sure many are super thankful for the advancements in medicine that allow them a choice to continue to express themselves in that way if they so desire.

All true... but does it have to be paraded around with cheesy actors in commercials on TV all day?

It always makes me wonder what the parent has to tell their 6 year old daughter when she watches that and then asks, "what's erectile dysfunction?" I just think some things don't need to be publicized.

I agree with you....but think about all the crap women have had to endure on television for decades. I don't think they like feminine hygiene ads anymore than we like boner pill ads. It's all obnoxious.

I hear you...it's definitely a different world than the one we grew up in. ED is just one of many conversations that are sort of forced upon parents these days...I can only imagine what it will be like for my kids once they have children.

Well said. Btw....I had brats for dinner. Delicious.

Those home made? Deli? Local meat shop? ...

And I agree... you ladies have had your intimate baggage drug out in tv ads for a long time too. I think it's too bad.

It was my first day back at work this morning and it went well, except both my hearing aid batteries went flat. As my sinuses are still majorly clogged (I assume this is the case because my hearing is terrible) I suffered through three hours of cranky people who couldn't make themselves understood.
Now I have new batteries and everything is okay but I am still waiting for the rest of my hearing to return.

 

[Noomi]

I think I'm going to start an online internet petition, to outlaw ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION ADS!

How nauseating those ads are. Can you imagine seeing one of those ads on TV 30 years ago? I don't see why they think it's OK now. Who the hell wants to constantly be bombarded with TV ads for some drug to help limp sons a bitches get their old soldier to stand at attention? It's disgusting...

Tell me about it. We have tons, including one with a genie who is flogging some kind of mouth spray that makes you get a boner.

And the men flogging it are all young dudes with six packs, not middle aged men.

 

[Noomi]

We had an ad here about sanitary napkins. Girl leaves the house with her parents, and her boyfriend plays with her pads and sticks them all over his body and pretends to be an airplane - until the girl and the parents walk in on him.
The thing about those ads is that they always seem to make the guy come across as stupid.

Probably because men are stupid for not having periods....I guess?

FYI, don't ever ask for a napkin in a restaurant in Canada ... just sayin.

 

[Mertex]

There's a difference between taco sauce and salsa, taco sauce is generally smooth and made with some different ingredients (spices) as is found in standard salsa, Old El Paso has been selling bottled taco sauce since at least 1960 but probably as far back as 1938 when the company was first founded. The company "moved around" until finally settling in Texas in 1958, they were the first company to offer a complete line of Mexican food in 1960.

I use a lot of their products....their taco shells, enchilada sauce, and other things....they're pretty good, but I had never heard of taco sauce, and I don't remember seeing it, either. I asked my husband if he had, and he hadn't either. We usually don't even use the packets that Taco Bell gives out, but I have tried the "mild" and think it tastes pretty good. The Mexican restaurants in the area provide salsa and nacho chips as a standard thing while you are waiting for your food, but I've never seen any of them put out anything that looks like the taco sauce from Taco Bell.

 

[Mertex]

Meh, you guys have gotten off easy for a long time...we've had to endure ads on feminine products for a long time. Ugh.

I just noticed a new line of "feminine" product commercials which are for "bladder leakage"... they look like Thong Depends.

Ick.

Thong depends? That's weird.....

I wonder where these companies get all that money to advertise so many different medicines. Some of those ads last a long time, it must cost them a pretty penny.

Fries oysters are one of my guilty pleasures....so so good.

I've also had them broiled with spinach/butter.....Rockfeller.....but I've never tried them raw....not sure I would like them raw, hmmm, I guess there is the one thing...

I can't get past the way raw oysters feel in my mouth. They feel like I should be spitting that out. Now Oysters Rockefeller, broiled oysters, smoked oysters, fried oysters, oyster bisque, I'm all good with that.
There's an oyster festival here in the late fall. You buy tickets and a ticket will get you an oyster any way you want it. With 50 or 60 different recipes, if you leave hungry, you're doing something wrong.

St Mary's University in San Antonio has an Oyster Fest right around the same time as Fiesta....and they also have them any way you want them. I would love to go, but Mr. Mertex doesn't like oysters, so he doesn't see any real reason to go.....

Our Oyster Fest has beer. Maybe that would entice him?

So does this one.....lots of beer....but, he doesn't like crowds and it's mostly college age kids that attend......it'd be like pulling teeth.

My answer would be more beer and plan on driving home yourself.

 

[Ernie S.]

I ate a raw oyster once........ Like swallowing a humongous wad of snot, almost blew my groceries........

Exactly what I feel and alluded to earlier. Oddly, I LOVE raw clams. They are firmer and less slippery.

Food is supposed to be cooked..... unless it's fruit and certain vegetables, then it's optional........ The only way I like oysters or clams is in Oysters Rockefeller and Clams Casino.

Have you tried Oysters Bienville? It is a South Louisiana thing, but often available in most of the Gulf South. Better than Rockefeller.

Oysters Bienville Recipe Emeril Lagasse Food Network

A great table appetizer is a dozen mixed oysters (Rockefeller, Bienville and Casino). At Arnaud's, Oysters Katheryn and Oysters Arnaud are good, too.

Ymmmm, I saw the recipe ingredients and they sound heavenly. I'll have to try them next time I visit the coast.

Had those at our oyster fest. They ARE yummy.

No, they are lucky, lol.

Dang! I've been absent too long and there's too much to catch up on. So, I pop in on an ongoing discussion about ED commercials. Yikes!
Hopefully y'all are well and happy as well as all dear too you.
Fall is in full swing in Alaska. It's a beautiful season. This year it's mild and pleasant, too. Lots ofrain, though. We're beginni to despair of the second cutting of hay. I've managed to reduce my goat herd by half. This will make getting through winter a bit easer, although it's sad to see so many of my animals gone.

Well... damn it... I didn't win the Powerball again... somebody else won MY money... or something like that.

I came within ONE DIGIT last drawing of winning $100, which would have been the most I've ever won. I hit two numbers and the powerball, with one more number one digit off. But... I know... woulda, coulda, shoulda... one digit, ten digits, what does it matter when it isn't it?

I keep playing though. Can't complain about not winning if you don't play. I won $50 on a scratch off ticket the other day too. That helps.

That must irk to have to put up with cranky people.

A daughter says that many women enjoy men looking silly but not so much the ads that make them look silly. She says ladies like being judgmental on guys, which is OK because we do the same to women.
