Could Viagra be addictive? The answer is probably yes, for two reasons. Firstly men who take Viagra to enjoy greater pleasure may find that love life without the drug is bland and uninteresting, in comparison. Secondly it is possible that in some people the action of the drug will become less with time, so they are then less able to have a non-Viagra erection than before they started taking Viagra. In addition, some men with no performance problems except in their minds may take far larger doses of Viagra than advised, to satisfy their own perceptions of what is a satisfactory level of performance.

Auckland University senior lecturer in psychology John Reed said recently: "The drug companies are trying to promulgate the idea that erectile dysfunction is primarily a biological problem, which is false in the vast majority of cases. It's playing on and exaggerating men's fears about impotence, rather than educating them that in the vast majority of cases it's normal, natural and goes away by itself, or with a bit of education".Quote from Evening Post (New Zealand) 4 May 1998
