    For those who don’t live in the land of burgers like me this is shockingly accurate. Right down to the bathtub that’s mysteriously on the beach.

      FURTHER FOR PEOPLE IN FIRST WORLD COUNTRIES!

      So often the drug commercial won’t even tell you what the fuck the drug is for. You just see a bunch of old fucks dancing around all happy and then at the end its like ‘ask your doctor if drugname is right for you’

        In some countries, like Canada, directly advertising for prescription drugs is illegal. But the marketing folks behind the drugs find these sorts of legal loopholes. The “ask your doctor” line is a cover-your-ass version which is actually saying “Google it”.

          I always wonder if people go to the doctor with a long list of drugs.

          Is X right for me? No? What about Y? No? What about Z?

            I do but I have a rare disease that medical science still isn’t sure how to treat, so I got a few science degrees so I can read studies and make suggestions to my doctors. I’m basically my own doctor now, I just need someone to write the prescriptions and tell me if I’m being an idiot.

              Oh hey, my dad did the same thing for his super rare disease. He actually pitched an experimental surgery to his doctor, and it worked extremely well and is now an option for others.

            Actually, some 1st world countries such as for example Denmark, don’t allow ads for prescription medications at all. Which is the correct way.

          They can advertise, they just can’t say what the drug is for. I’ve seen a few Ozempic commercials, where its just a dozen people asking “Have you tried Ozempic? Ask your doctor” for the entire commercial.

          I wish they wouldn’t, as a diabetic actually on the drug I’ve experienced so many shortages this year because of all the off label use. And while mounjaro is approved, they can’t make enough of it to supply Canada

    I recently took cialis recreationally (no ED) on weekend get away with my SO. I gotta say it was actually pretty fucking cool. I’m usually pretty pill adverse. But ya, I’d do it again.

      What’s the benefit if you don’t have ED?

      My friend with no ED said he took a Viagra and it burst the skin of his penis. No fucking thank you on that, man!

        Your friend either hasn’t told you the entire story or is lying. Viagra, Cialis, and other ED meds won’t cause your penis to burst - human blood pressure is insufficient to pop a penis like a balloon. What may have happened is a penile fracture, where the outer sheath of erectile tissue tears in response to physical injury. Typical drivers of penile fracture are situations that cause the erect penis to bend forcefully, such as falling on an erection.

        Taking ED meds without ED will just result in a very firm erection that will likely persist awhile after ejaculation.

          I would disagree as I have torn my skin without meds once even. I did not burst any bloodvessils, but at one point in my life it kinda went harder than ever before, rupturing my outer skin on the shaft and on the gland… It was no fun sight as it healed while peeling.

          If that can happen without any meds, I can surely believe it can on.

          I am circumcised btw.

              Well, not sure what you mean by that, but I think that wouldn’t rip the whole shaft’s skin, nor the exposed gland…

              I shedded like a snake… 😅

              That shit should be illegal. It’s insane that people are still allowed to do that to people who don’t absolutely medically require it.

    I do not understand the bathtub, which seems strange because I’m not the type most would call innocent.

    EDIT: It appears to be a reference to a TV commercial. Gross, you people watch advertisements?
