To the casual observer, bachelor Daniel Atkinson looks like any other healthy, athletic young man in the prime of his life.
Six foot tall with chiselled cheekbones and a trim physique, Daniel admits he never has any difficulty attracting the opposite sex.
But Daniel, 32, has a very intimate secret. When he wants to have sex with a woman, he needs up to two Viagra pills to perform.
The blue tablets, which are available on the NHS, have long been viewed as essential medication for men in their 50s, 60s and beyond.
But Daniel is one of a growing number of young males turning to the drug due to performance anxiety, triggered by a host of psychological issues from the proliferation of porn on the internet making ‘normal’ sex seem boring, to financial pressures.
Viagra was even blamed for its part in the suicide of a 24-year-old writer earlier this year, after his girlfriend discovered he was secretly using it.
James Andrews’s body was found on a railway line between Bristol and Bath on Valentine’s Day. An inquest into his death revealed how he’d rowed with girlfriend Eleanor Sharpe — a ballet dancer who appeared in the Olympic closing ceremony — over his use of the drug, despite the pair enjoying a ‘normal physical relationship’.
Daniel, now an entertainment promoter, was just 20 and on a weekend with friends in Amsterdam when he took his first pill. It was supplied to him by a friend, after he had picked up a girl.
Even though he had never had erectile problems, he was so impressed by the extra stamina it gave him he continued to take the drug with subsequent girlfriends.
On two occasions, he was even prescribed it by his GP, albeit with warnings about the long-term effects

I’m not sure what to conclude from this story, is it hard for these young men or not?
Yeah, that does seem odd. Maybe the age group referenced in the article is too young to have received that classic bit of late-1980s advice from this guy:
"Lick the alphabet!"
:-)
Seriously, something seems to have gone off the rails in terms of expectations of normal sexual performance.
What you got against smiling Bob?
What?
You were expecting something else?
ANTIDEPRESSANTS DIRTY LITTLE SECRET TO THE YUTES
Mrs L has made it clear that I am not allowed in the same room with that stuff. I’m 53 and still desire her physically every single day, more than once a day if she’d let me. LOL
She says if she could bottle my libido she would be the richest woman on Earth.
You have to be careful about mixing viagra with other drugs. There are unwanted side effects. I knew a guy who took viagra while using rogaine. His hair stood up.

He needs to understand that if his hair remains standing more than four hours straight, he needs to immediately go to a barber.
Did you hear about the guy who went shopping for a three-piece suit? When the salesman asked him what the occasion was, Leroy said, “Well now, the doc says I’s impotent, and so if I’s impotent, I believe I should look impotent!”
Damn... I’d hit it.
But, I’m not sure Laz would. :-)
Young males have been led to believe they can engage in fornication, self abuse and fill their minds with pornography with no consequences.
Their problems won’t be fixed by taking or not taking a pill, but made worse.
more than once a day if she’d let me. LOL
In our case, it’s mutual. ;-)
If young people only knew what they were in store for when they become empty nesters, assuming they marry the right person and treat them right - both sides.
“More ‘T’, more ‘T’, I love capital ‘T’!!!” OH-OOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
So true. I know a guy who took viagra and Ex-Lax. He didn't know if he was coming or going.
(Okay, I have to confess, that's a Rodney Dangerfield line.)
Americans don’t learn the Cyrillic alphabet to talk to Russians. Not Russian men anyway.
“The blue tablets, which are available on the NHS, have long been viewed as essential medication for men in their 50s, 60s and beyond.”
I have serious problems with that statement. My husband is a 56 year old pilot that has to have a medical every 6 months. For years his doctor has been offering him Cialis at every visit. His reply is that he has no problems in that area. Once, I accompanied him due to other errands. It was sickening watching the young pilots from the local airbase come out with their Cialis gift bags- literally gift bags. My husband’s father sired 3 children in his 70s before Viagra was available. It isn’t essential medication. I can become needed because of lifestyle choices and health, but it’s certainly not “essential.” It can, however, be essential for premature infants with breathing problems.
Kinison is twenty years dead and buried, but his recordings can still make me laugh 'til my sides hurt. Can you imagine that guy being teleported into 2012 and given a Twitter account? He was the antithesis of political correctness.
What in the hell is wrong with the "stamina" of a normal man? There's probably very, very few people who WANT to have intercourse for hours.
We had a Viagra truck crash into the river up in the Delta and none of the draw bridges would go back down for nearly 4 hours.
