1. Yes, I'm tired of the ads. They must be effective since they keep running them.
2. >>My children have asked what they mean by side effects lasting more than 4 hours. <<
If they're old enough to ask, then they're old enough to get a straight answer. Are you embarrassed? Is it against your religion to discuss sex? I could never understand the excuses some parents make to avoid answering their kids' questionx about sex. Remember, YOU'RE the one who's embarrassed, not the kids. Somebody will answer them eventually. Whom do you want it to be?
Why not you?

I get sick of them, but not for that reason. Honestly, if my parents hadn't been as prude about sex, I never would have turned into the "sexually deviant" person I am. They're gonna' learn it - better it be from you. Besides, ED med side effects are a great way of learning, because the idea of having an erection for five hours is pretty funny. I mean, what do you do? Play ring toss? "Sex is like jumping rope - you can't do it all day!" (quote from a book my parents gave me on the subject because they were too freaked out to actually talk to me about it)

lol....there sure are a lot of them!! You'd think that not one man in the United States could get it up without a pill, a pump or a complimentary erectile dysfunction soft drink!! I guess you could tell your children that the four hour side effect is a "headache.";)

I'm sure that everyone, everywhere, is tired of all commercials.
I don't have a TV, so I don't see the one yer talking about, but this sounds like a nice intro to a birds & bees talk with yer kids, assuming they are old enough.
As far as marketing goes, who's your best client? It's the middle aged man, with a good income, who needs a bit of help in the whoop-whoop department. You KNOW he's gonna spend some greenbacks on that issue, so let's get advertising already!
I would suggest that parents devise an age-appropriate answer to subjects like this, and any other, that may arise from TV adverts.
by Regina on April 18th, 2009
Yup....I am tired of all those commercials...and the ones about how to lose weight...I can't believe that we've come this far...from the 1960's when seeing someone smoke a cigarette was bad to now talking about lifeless....penises.....oh...and the commercials with just about naked women...underwear commercials or Victoria Secret commercials. In the 1960's a woman in a bra....was not to be seen.
by Eclipse sleeping by moonlight on April 18th, 2009
Wow. Bring back the cigarette commercials! I never thought about the effect on the kids! ++
by Wynper on November 4th, 2009
I don't have any issues with sex being mentioned on television but I do object to prescription medication being advertised anywhere.
Tremendous amounts or money are spent to sell us harder members, artificial good moods, slimmer bodies, longer eyelashes...people flock to doctors to get the latest elixir not because it is medically necessary but because it's been pedaled to them via the media. That money spent to advertise this crap ought to be spent in research and development or to lower the cost of life saving medications.
They don't allow liquor or tobacco to be advertised on television why do the allow mood altering prescription drugs to be aired?

Maybe I am the only person alive who isn't offended by the ED commercials above all others..
I am more offended by commercials for Barbie dolls and video games like Grand Theft Auto.
“We worry about so many dangers to our children—drugs, perverts, bullies—but seldom notice the biggest menace of all: the multibillion-dollar marketing effort aimed at turning the kids into oversexed, status-obsessed, attention-deficient little consumers.”
Barbara Ehrenreich, author of Nickel and Dimed

I think most people have their focus dialed down too narrow. At least the ED commercials can help men who have real physical problems.
by teresa on April 18th, 2009
YES I agree!! Its like who cares? To me that should be something that should not have to be advertised, if someone goes to the doctor and the doctors office supplies pamphlets on what the doctor can treat then that is where the patient should see information on E D products.
by Timjon on April 18th, 2009
Yah, I don't even want to watch tv news anymore. There's an ED commercial every couple minutes, and I'm plain tired of them! Talk about OVERKILL!
by Starmaster on April 18th, 2009
Yes, too many of them at any time of the day....gets old. These days all topics are covered everywhere with no discretion of any kind. A few days ago, in the front cover or a best selling newspaper in Puerto Rico, there was a sexy picture of a woman wearing a negliege, laying on a bed and in big letters, in Spanish, something like "10 Secrets to a Great Orgasm". Newspapers are having problems, so they are doing whatever they can to sell more copies, attracting all kind of customers....
by cArAmEL_bAb13 on November 4th, 2009
yes because my brothers ask the same question and i dont want them to know that yet
by manywords on November 4th, 2009
Mine asked about that very thing and I responded that it simply meant that the wife needed to be taken to the emergency room.
by ihatecommericals47 on November 4th, 2009
Yep, I am sick of those "limp weiner" commercials too. What did all these old farts do before the invention of Viagra??? This country has turned into a nation of "pill-poppers!"
by Woodshill on November 4th, 2009
Absolutely. I am not sure how they are on at Prime Time either?
by Marguerite on November 4th, 2009
No because I have a remote control and change anything I don't care to see. That commericial gets old fast. It looks dumb.
by norm on November 4th, 2009
I'm a special case. I won't say what my problem is, but I have no male troubles.
The pharmaceuticals have a product to sell and they are pushing it. I'm tired of that.
by Tom on November 4th, 2009
What I hate is the one where that guy has that stupid grin on his face the whole way through the commercial!
by ThatGuyTed on November 4th, 2009
I'm tired of ALL the perscription medications being advertized over the television. Nobody but a person's doctor should be reccommending any sort of medication to people. Meanwhile drug companies are spending untold millions on advertizement when they could be spending the money on curing diseases that are killing people. (Cancer, anyone?). I think it's about time we reinstate the ban on advertizing for perscription drugs, except to Doctors.
And yeah it will lead to many uncomfortable explanations to kids about what happens when an erection lasts for more than 4 hours.
by Anonymous on July 26th, 2009
Rest assured ..... you're definitely not the only one tired of these commercials! Personally, I think they should not be aired before 9-10 p.m. because of the children who may be watching.
Does caffeine cause erection problems?

No we have had some talks. You know the ones about her body changing. . . .We have bought the books that she can read and we read them together and talk about it. Also, my sister in law is a nurse, so she has talked to my daughter some also.

I may have misinterpreted this:
>>My children have asked what they mean by side effects lasting more than 4 hours. <<
If you have already discussed sex with your kid, then it should be easy to continue the discussion.
Remember, she's going to find out from somebody. It may as well be you or your sister, someone she trusts. My parents told me nothing about sex, and I got a truckload of sick explanations and misinformation from a few guys in school who came from the wrong side of the tracks. The misinformation had long-lasting, negative effects.
