Viagra isn't the only drug being prescribed off-label for women with arousal problems. Los Angeles urologist Jennifer Berman told me some doctors are prescribing low doses of Ritalin.

Although he was a young and virile man at 37, he was not inexhaustible. In addition to food and drink, he had better lay in a couple thousand tablets of viagra. The drug would probably remain potent if he vacuum packed the pills in groups of 10 and kept them in a freezer. That would work unless civilization completely collapsed and power companies were unable to function. Fortunately, Jim had a propane-powered backup generator with half a dozen tanks of fuel already on hand. If Henry added to the propane supply, and he used the generator only for essential maintenance like keeping the viagra freezer operating in warm weather, he would be happy here on the farm for a looong, looong time. Unless, even now, dead Jim was out there in the generator shed sabotaging the machinery.

All it takes is a simple Internet search to get the facts.

In this way the extortion game is similar to the economics of sending spam e-mail. When receiving an e-mail promising a share of a lost Nigerian inheritance or cheap Viagra, nearly everyone clicks delete. But a tiny number takes the bait. Computer scientists at the University of California–Berkeley and UC–San Diego hijacked a working spam network to see how the business operated. They found that the spammers, who were selling fake “herbal aphrodisiacs,” made only one sale for every 12.5 million e-mails they sent: a response rate of 0.00001 percent. Each sale was worth an average of less than $100. It doesn’t look like much of a business. But sending out the e-mails was so cheap and easy—it was done using a network of hijacked PCs, which the fraudsters used free of charge—that the spammers made a healthy profit. Pumping out hundreds of millions of e-mails a day, they had a daily income of about $7,000, or more than $2.5 million a year, the researchers figured.3

If their computer is acting sludgy, it might be a virus inserted by a predatory advertiser, who will then offer to fix it.

“Hey,” he said softly. He drew away and tucked a finger under her chin, prompting her to look up at him. “We’ll take this as slow as you need. If I could make love to you with you fully clothed, I’d do it, but I think we both know that’s not an option.”
She giggled and felt some of her unease leave her.

cause of cavities, even more damaging than sugar consumption, bad diet, or poor hygiene. (This belief had been echoed by other dentists for a hundred years, and was endorsed by Catlin too.) Burhenne also found that mouthbreathing was both a cause of and a contributor to snoring and sleep apnea. He recommended his patients tape their mouths shut at night. “The health benefits of nose breathing are undeniable,” he told me. One of the many benefits is that the sinuses release a huge boost of nitric oxide, a molecule that plays an essential role in increasing circulation and delivering oxygen into cells. Immune function, weight, circulation, mood, and sexual function can all be heavily influenced by the amount of nitric oxide in the body. (The popular erectile dysfunction drug sildenafil, known by the commercial name Viagra, works by releasing nitric oxide into the bloodstream, which opens the capillaries in the genitals and elsewhere.) Nasal breathing alone can boost nitric oxide sixfold, which is one of the reasons we can absorb about 18 percent more oxygen than by just breathing through the mouth. Mouth taping, Burhenne said, helped a five-year-old patient of his overcome ADHD, a condition directly attributed to breathing difficulties during sleep. It helped Burhenne and his wife cure their own snoring and breathing problems. Hundreds of other patients reported similar benefits. The whole thing seemed a little sketchy until Ann Kearney, a doctor of speech-language pathology at the Stanford Voice and Swallowing Center, told me the same. Kearney helped rehabilitate patients who had swallowing and breathing disorders. She swore by mouth taping. Kearney herself had spent years as a mouthbreather due to chronic congestion. She visited an ear, nose, and throat specialist and discovered that her nasal cavities were blocked with tissue. The specialist advised that the only way to open her nose was through surgery or medications. She tried mouth taping instead. “The first night, I lasted five minutes before I ripped it off,” she told me. On the second night, she was able to tolerate the tape for ten minutes. A couple of days later, she slept through the night. Within six weeks, her nose opened up. “It’s a classic example of use it or lose it,” Kearney said. To prove her claim, she examined the noses of 50 patients who had undergone laryngectomies, a procedure in which a breathing hole is cut into the throat. Within two months to two years, every patient was suffering from complete nasal obstruction. Like other parts of the body, the nasal cavity responds to whatever inputs it receives. When the nose is denied regular use, it will atrophy. This is what happened to Kearney and many of her patients, and to so much of the general population. Snoring and sleep apnea often follow.

All the recent marketing successes have been PR successes, not advertising successes. To name a few: Starbucks, The Body Shop, Amazon.com, Yahoo!, eBay, Palm, Google, Linus, PlayStation, Harry Potter, Botox, Red Bull, Microsoft, Intel, and BlackBerry. A closer look at the history of most major brands shows this to be true. As a matter of fact, an astonishing number of well-known brands have been built with virtually no advertising at all. Anita Roddick built The Body Shop into a worldwide brand without any advertising. Instead she traveled the world looking for ingredients for her natural cosmetics, a quest that resulted in endless publicity. Until recently Starbucks didn’t spend a hill of beans on advertising either. In its first ten years, the company spent less that $10 million (total) on advertising in the United States, a trivial amount for a brand that delivers annual sales of $1.3 billion today. Wal-Mart became the world’s largest retailer, ringing up sales approaching $200 billion, with little advertising. Sam’s Club, a Wal-Mart sibling, averages $56 million per store with almost no advertising. In the pharmaceutical field, Viagra, Prozac, and Vioxx became worldwide brands with almost no advertising. In the toy field, Beanie Babies, Tickle Me Elmo, and Pokémon became highly successful brands with almost no advertising.

The most widely cited figure for the number of women suffering from Female Sexual Dysfunction comes from 1999: according to this, some 43 per cent of all women have a medical problem around their sex drive.27 This survey was published in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), one of the most influential journals in the world. It looked at questionnaire data asking about things like lack of desire for sex, poor lubrication, anxiety over sexual performance, and so on. If you answered ‘yes’ to any one of these questions, you were labelled as having Female Sexual Dysfunction. For the avoidance of any doubt about the influence of this paper, it has – as of a sunny evening in March 2012 – been cited 1,691 times. That is a spectacular number of citations. At the time, no financial interest was declared by the study’s authors. Six months later, after criticism in the New York Times, two of the three authors declared consulting and advisory work for Pfizer.28 The company was gearing up to launch Viagra for the female market at this time, and had lots to gain from more women being labelled as having a medical sexual problem.

La industria del sexo no es únicamente el mercado más rentable de Internet, sino que es el modelo de rentabñidad máxima del mercado cibernético en su conjunto (solo comparable a la especulación financiera): inversión mínima, venta directa del producto en tiempo real, de forma única, produciendo la satisfacción inmediata del consumidor en y a través de la visita al portal. Cualquier otro portal de Internet se modela y se organiza de acuerdo con esta lógica masturbatoria de consumo pornográfico.
Si los analistas comerciales que dirigen Google o Ebay siguen con atención las fluctuaciones del mercado ciberporno, es porque saben que la industria de la pornografía provee un modelo económico de la evolución del mercado cibernético en su conjunto.
Si tenemos en consideración que las industrias líderes del capitalismo postfordista, junto con la empresa global de la guerra, son la industria farmacéutica (bien como extensión farmacológica legal del aparato científico médico y cosmético, bien como tráfico de drogas consideradas ilegales) y la industria pornográfica, entonces habría que darle un nombre más crudo a esta «materia prima». Osemos la hipótesis: las verdaderas materias primas del proceso productivo actual son la excitación, la erección, la eyaculación, el placer y el sentimiento de autocomplacencia y de control omnipotente. El verdadero motor del capitalismo actual es el control farmacopornográfico de la subjetividad, cuyos productos son la seratonina, la testosterona, los antiácidos, la cortisona, los antibióticos, el estradiol, el alcohol y el tabaco, la morfina, la insulina, la cocaína, el citrato de sidenofil (Viagra) y todo aquel complejo material-virtual que puede atildar a la producción de estados mentales y psicosomáticos de excitación, relajación y descarga, de omnipotencia y de total control. Aquí, incluso el dinero se vuelve un significante abstracto psicotrópico. El cuerpo adicto
y sexual, el sexo y todos sus derivados semiótico-técnicos son hoy el principal recurso del capitalismo postfordista.

The reality, when the sexy advertisements have been stripped away, is that the actual product is ethanol.122 It is a horrible-tasting, addictive poison. So we sweeten it with sugar and flavoring or process it to make it more palatable. The product’s product is inebriation, a gradual deadening of your senses until you become completely intoxicated. And the side effects that are never disclosed are many. Think about ads for new medications, like Viagra or blood pressure medication. They are legally required to disclose all the statistically relevant side effects. Alcohol has the same cancer-causing effects as asbestos,123 and just three drinks per week can increase a woman’s chance of developing breast cancer by 15%,124 yet there are no labeling requirements whatsoever. Yet compared to other drugs (illegal, legal, and prescription), alcohol bears the highest harm rating.125

Gary considers Viagra to be the greatest invention of the twentieth century, tied only with air-conditioning. He’s an old guy, one of millions who want to solve time. I’ve read the erectile dysfunction brochure. I want to be supportive. I want to protect his ego. Hell, I want to solve time too. I mentally catalog my own issues—the dryness, the loose grip, the slice of pain, the rogue peeing—but I would never discuss my broken-down vagina with Gary. Never! A fundamental right for men, virility into old age, reads as pathetic for women.

Sometimes it can’t be helped,” the doctor says. “But you’re okay. You’ll be going home soon. Are there any questions?” “Can I fuck?” There’s a loud pause. “I worry that taking my brother’s Viagra is what caused this ‘incident.’” “How so?” “I was taking a good amount of the stuff and, well, I worry I blew a fuse, so to speak.” “I don’t think so, but it’s an interesting idea. I’ll make a note of it.” “And so can I fuck? Can I take Viagra? Or Levitra, or whatever the hell comes next?” “I’d give it a rest,” the doctor says. “How long of a rest?” “Let’s say, if you are able to get an erection on your own, with no assistance, fine, but if you get a headache or feel ill, stop. If you can’t get an erection, which you may not be able to after an event such as this—not permanently, but for the short term—I’d lay off the hard stuff—no pun intended. It’s about how much risk you’re willing to tolerate. I’ve known men who after an event like this were terrified, they couldn’t even think of trying to have sex. Others try again right here in the hospital—they say it’s a ‘safe’ environment, but you didn’t hear that from me. That’s off the record, of course.” “Of course,” I say. “And of course the question is hypothetical. The truth is, I’m terrified, I’m suddenly terrified of everything. I can’t imagine taking the pills again, I can’t imagine ever wanting to have sex.

Pharmaceutical companies became very interested in using siRNAs as potential new drugs. Theoretically, siRNA molecules could be used to knock down expression of any protein that was believed to be harmful in a disease. In the same year that Fire and Mello were awarded their Nobel Prize, the giant pharmaceutical company Merck paid over one billion US dollars for a siRNA company in California called Sirna Therapeutics. Other large pharmaceutical companies have also invested heavily. But in 2010 a bit of a chill breeze began to drift through the pharmaceutical industry. Roche, the giant Swiss company, announced that it was stopping its siRNA programmes, despite having spent more than $500 million on them over three years. Its neighbouring Swiss corporation, Novartis, pulled out of a collaboration with a siRNA company called Alnylam in Massachusetts. There are still plenty of other companies who have stayed in this particular game, but it would probably be fair to say there’s a bit more nervousness around this technology than in the past. One of the major problems with using this kind of approach therapeutically may sound rather mundane. Nucleic acids, such as DNA and RNA, are just difficult to turn into good drugs. Most good existing drugs – ibuprofen, Viagra, anti-histamines – have certain characteristics in common. You can swallow them, they get across your gut wall, they get distributed around your body, they don’t get destroyed too quickly by your liver, they get taken up by cells, and they work their effects on the molecules in or on the cells. Those all sound like really simple things, but they’re often the most difficult things to get right when developing a new drug. Companies will spend tens of millions of dollars – at least – getting this bit right, and it is still a surprisingly hit-and-miss process. It’s so much worse when trying to create drugs around nucleic acids. This is partly because of their size. An average siRNA molecule is over 50 times larger than a drug like ibuprofen. When creating drugs (especially ones to be taken orally rather than injected) the general rule is, the smaller the better. The larger a drug is, the greater the problems with getting high enough doses into patients, and keeping them in the body for long enough. This may be why a company like Roche has decided it can spend its money more effectively elsewhere. This doesn’t mean that siRNA won’t ever work in the treatment of illnesses, it’s just quite high risk as a business venture.

You read that right.

He’d also gotten close to Prophet, moving next to him to get the right angle on the cast, his hip brushing Prophet’s cock. And now his own had a more pressing need than covering up phone numbers. The light dappled across Prophet’s face. He looked more relaxed, less on guard than he’d ever been. But somehow still lethal. Always lethal. Prophet turned onto his back, arms over his head again, casts sprawled on the pillow. Tom’s erection nudged Prophet’s thigh as he thought about Prophet tied up, and Prophet shook his head. “Did you take Viagra instead of migraine meds?” “Maybe,” Tom murmured, wrapped a hand around Prophet’s cock, which was hard again too.

When Pfizer was getting ready to launch their impotency drug Viagra or sildenafil citrate, they realized that the topic was taboo and would provoke intense debate if the drug was presented as a cure for impotency. Which old man would admit he was impotent, went the argument. So the business and markeing strategist decided to work on what may have been termed the ‘social justice’ angle of presenting the problem. Since impotency was seen as an almost terminal disease that could not be cured, was there a way of repositioning it by a change in terminology? A few years before Viagra was launched, the company started seeding media about a new problem facing American men, it was termed ‘Erectile Dysfunction’ or ED. I came across an article on ED in Fortune magazine a year or so before the official launch of Viagra. The company had managed to create a new disease which had an acronym that could be remembered by the lay consumer instead of the derogatory term in use till then, ‘impotence’. When the drug, and the brand Viagra, was finally launched, it found ready acceptance and went on to become a billion dollar seller that created a whole new industry. Even US Presidential contender Bob Dole appeared in a television commercial for Viagra. Unlike in India, where prescription-only brands are not allowed to be advertised on television and print media, in the US, even politicians are game for starring in television commercials. Viagra

Estamos frente a un nuevo tipo de capitalismo caliente, psicotrópico y punk. Estas trasformaciones recientes apuntan hacia la articulación de un conjunto de nuevos dispositivos microprostéticos de control de la subjetividad con nuevas plataformas técnicas biomoleculares y mediáticas. La nueva «economía-mundo» no funciona sin el despliegue simultáneo e interconectado de la producción de cientos de toneladas de esteroides sintéticos, sin la difusión global de imágenes pornográficas, sin la elaboración de nuevas variedades psicotrópicas sintéticas legales e ilegales (Lexomil, Special K, Viagra, speed, cristal, Prozac, éxtasis, popper, heroína, Omeoprazol, etc.), sin la extensión a la totalidad del planeta de una forma de arquitectura urbana difusa en la que megaciudades miseria se codean con nudos de alta concentración de capital, sin el tratamiento informático de signos y de transmisión numérica de comunicación.
Estos son solo algunos de los índices de aparición de un régimen postindustrial, global y mediático que llamaré a partir de ahora, tomando como referencia los procesos de gobierno biomolecular (fármaco-) y semiótico-técnico (-porno) de la subjetividad sexual, de los que la pildora y Playboy son paradigmáticos, «farmacopornográfico». Si bien sus líneas de fuerzas hunden sus raíces en la sociedad científica y colonial del siglo XIX, sus vectores económicos no se harán visibles hasta el final de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, ocultos en principio bajo la apariencia de la economía fordista y quedando expuestos únicamente tras el progresivo desmoronamiento de esta en los años setenta.
Durante el siglo XX, período en el que se lleva a cabo la materialización farmacopornográfica, la psicología, la sexología, la endocrinología han establecido su autoridad material transformando los conceptos de psiquismo, de libido, de conciencia, de feminidad y masculinidad, de heterosexualidad y homosexualidad en realidades tangibles, en sustancias químicas, en moléculas comercializables, en cuerpos, en biotipos humanos, en bienes de intercambio gestionables por las multinacionales farmacéuticas.
Si la ciencia ha alcanzado el lugar hegemónico que ocupa como discurso y como práctica en nuestra cultura, es precisamente gracias a lo que Ian Hacking, Steve Woolgar y Bruno Latour llaman su «autoridad material», es decir, su capacidad para inventar y producir artefactos vivos. Por eso la ciencia es la nueva religión de la modernidad. Porque tiene la capacidad de crear, y no simplemente de describir, la realidad. El éxito de la tecnociencia contemporánea es transformar nuestra depresión en Prozac, nuestra masculinidad en testosterona, nuestra erección en Viagra, nuestra fertilidad/ esterilidad en püdora, nuestro sida en triterapia. Sin que sea posible saber quién viene antes, si la depresión o el Prozac, si el Viagra o la erección, si la testosterona o la masculinidad, si la píldora o la maternidad, si la triterapia o el sida. Esta producción en auto-feedback es la propia del poder farmacopornográfico.

His voice had a rough note to it as he said, “Tienes una chocha tan linda.”
“What?” she mumbled behind her gag.
“I said you have a beautiful pussy. And it is. Do you want me to suck on that pretty pussy?”
She nodded vigorously and drew in a deep breath of anticipation as he rolled her over to her front.
“If I untie your hands, do you promise to behave?”
Giving him a pleading look she nodded again.
“If you’re a bad girl I’ll just tie you up again and continue teasing you.”
She tried to keep from glaring at him, but he must have noticed because he chuckled as he unbound her hands.
<...>She smiled at him, feeling too good to fight. “I do.”
He laughed and cuddled her close, his dick jumping inside of her when she involuntarily squeezed him. “Good God, woman, you’re going to kill me.”
A giggle escaped her and she wondered at the light, happy sound. “Stop being such a whiner.”
''Mmm, feisty,” he gave her neck a sharp nip. “I like it.”
“You won’t like it when I kill you for letting her touch you,” she grumped, but cuddled closer.
“Why do you love me?”
“Fishing for compliments?” she teased.
“No…I just want to know why so I can keep doing whatever it is that makes you love me.”
“Oh, baby,” she lifted her head to kiss his chin, the note of vulnerability in his voice touching her deeply. “Just be you. You’re the man I fell in love with. All of you. The UFC fighter, the businessman, the asshole—”
“Hey now.”
She shook her head against his chest. “Admit it, you can be an asshole.”
“I plead the fifth.”
“All of you,” she continued. “I love all of you.”
He made a pleased sound and began to move inside of her again. The man must be snacking on Viagra because he seemed to have a permanent hard-on. His voice had a teasing tone as he said, “Do you love my dick?”
Warm tingles raced through her and she licked at the slightly salty skin of his chest. “It’s one of my favorite parts.”
“Hmmm, what are your other favorite parts?”
Once again she wondered if he was fishing for compliments, but it occurred to her that he’d dated woman who always wanted something from him, not Dallas himself. “I love your lips because they kiss me, your hands because they touch me, but most of all I love your mind and your heart because they define who you are, a strong, smart, and compassionate man. My man.”
His grunt made her smile as she continued to kiss her way across his chest as he moved slowly inside of her, a constant stroke that made her want to moan with pleasure. “My Amanda.”
Kissing her way up to his lips, she whispered against his mouth, “Love you.”
“Love you too, mi querida.
