Remember when your Mother said that if you keep doing that you'll go blind?

WASHINGTON - The government on Friday ordered warnings onto the labels of Viagra and two other impotence drugs after some users developed a form of blindness — while cautioning that it's impossible to know if the pills are to blame.

The Food and Drug Administration's move comes as the agency is under intense pressure to investigate more aggressively and warn the public about drug side effects.

At issue is sudden vision loss when blood flow to the optic nerve is blocked, a condition called NAION or non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy.

I love the warning they already have that IF your "Erection" lasts more that 6 hours, you should consult a physician!!

The sight of thousands of Blind men with a persistant erections wandering the streets trying to find a Doctor kind of concerns me!! ;)

Do you really think the first call a guy with the 6-hour hard-on is gonna make is to a doctor???


Odds on him calling his buddies to brag first! :rofl:

classic imagery, 4! :laugh:

"Cialis?"

"No, but I heard her coming!"

But on the other hand, he's gonna give the medical staff one heck of a laugh when he calls.

pri·a·pism (pr-pzm) n.
Persistent, usually painful erection, especially as a consequence of disease and not related to sexual arousal. :saywhat: :eek:

Lumber that can't be used for anything and causes excrutiating pain doesn't sound real good to me. Neither does an evening in the emergency room spent writhing in pain with one's babe de jour.

From what I've heard from nurses and docs that have seen it is that it's just about as amusing as being gut shot. I guess the upside (if one could call it that) is that the incidence of priapism with Cialis is currently high enough to have the emergency room staff well drilled in countermeasures these days.

I've heard it's all twisted & bent, like the 2x4's at Menard's ! ;)
