Subject: [24 Mar 2022 Thursday] Erectile Dysfunction and Viagra I have erectile dysfunction due to taking medications for mental illness (schizophrenia). Without Viagra, my penis is soft like jelly most of the time. There is no way I can penetrate a woman’s vagina due to erectile dysfunction. Today is the very 1st time I am taking Viagra. It allows my penis to remain hard and fully erected for 2 solid hours during sexual intercourse. Thanks Viagra! I can finally have sex! I am already 44 years old. What am I missing out in life??????
