Colombians are now just like the rest of the world: they buy a Viagra pill every two minutes, according to a statement by manufacturer Pfizer, Caracol Radio reported Saturday.
Ten years after the little blue tablet was introduced in the country, Colombians are now gobbling them up in line with the world average, making them a 14 million dollar a year market for the drug company, the radio station reports.
During nearly that same period, Colombia’s birth rate dropped from nearly 23 per thousand members of the population in 2000 to 19.86 per thousand in 2008, according to data from the CIA Factbook.

IloveCidy says on Aug 23, 2008, 17:14: I never have used them. However I just purchased a ten pack of Cialis gels. They are suppose to work in about 20 minutes. They were 4 each. However you can get them much cheaper if you buy more. They are suppose to last 36 hours I miss my novia! 0 funny, 0 helpful. |

ColombianoGringo (Moderator) says on Aug 23, 2008, 19:30: I suppose if you need performance enhancement, then go for it. I just don't see the point in taking a pill with potentially dangerous side effects since I don't need it.

ColombianoGringo (Moderator) says on Aug 24, 2008, 08:26: GL, If a man needs it, then so be it. I am not a big pill popper and when the commercials talk about loss of sight, potential increase in blood pressure and priapism, I would just as soon leave that shit alone. Unless my pecker stops working someday, I'm staying away from that horrible shit.

PALEOLITICO says on Aug 24, 2008, 14:40: Estoy muy de acuerdo con C.G: Es mucho mejor cuando una mujer despierta en un hombre todo tipo de sensaciones NATURALES. Cuando la mayoria de veces es necesario recurrir a quimicos para tener sexo normal, la mujer terminará diciendo: "definitivamente no le gusto lo suficiente" y todo se irá al piso.

lampltr says on Aug 24, 2008, 17:40: CG, you are absolutely correct! If one uses and they do not need it, of course the reverse will be true. In regards to "Erectile dysfunction not normal," this is also a tell tale sign of one's body that there is something definitely wrong (Easiest sign for men but most do not know this), before the big bang!!

myheartisinbogota says on Aug 26, 2008, 05:16: It's a personal choice. Lots of guys don't need it, but it is an enhancer. No doubt! Personally, if you want to give mama a really good pounding, give it a try! (Ladies, sorry for the language). It's not a everyday thing, but if you really want to please your gal until she tells you to stop, it works. It's about focusing on the gals! AFTERALL Right guys! Right!

ColombianoGringo (Moderator) says on Aug 26, 2008, 07:10: Better yet. Exercise and keep your cardiovascular system in good shape and you won't need a pill to "please your gal until she tells you to stop'. After all, it is really about having good circulation.

The pharmacist said, no, no, one's not enough you need to take a prescription for a month or so, he said, no...I need just one for not to wet my shoes. "When shall we three meet again?
