You’ve seen the headlines. New pill revolutionizes treatment of impotence. Maybe you’ve even seen the numbers: more than a million prescriptions written per month shortly after the drug’s release, making It the most successfully released drug In the history of medicine.

One, as you’ll see in a later chapter that examines the previous medical treatments for erectile dysfunction—which can only be called ugly— Viagra is so much easier and more pleasant to use that It has truly improved the lives of millions of men.
