Is this new method of "bar-ing up" available in Thailand.
(from Australian Fairfax press)
NO MORE popping a pill an hour before a romantic meal or making a booking with the wife. Now the 40% of older Australian men who have trouble getting an erection can take a tablet every morning that will make them ready for sexual intercourse without having to plan ahead.
The new pill, launched today, is the first of its kind and could revolutionise the sex lives of thousands of men who say having to take a tablet up to four hours before a potential sex session puts a dampener on things.
Tadalafil, known as Cialis, has been on the market in Australia for five years, but was only available in 10 and 20-milligram doses that had to be taken hours before sex, in the same way as other impotence drugs such as Viagra and Levitra. But a smaller-dose tablet, designed to be taken every day, has now been approved by the Therapeutic Goods Administration and will be available from today on prescription.
But it won't be cheap. A packet of 28 pills will cost about $170 a month. Viagra costs about $70 for four tablets. "It is expensive, but in my experience most men are just grateful to be able to have sex at all," the chief executive officer of Impotence Australia, Brett McCann, said yesterday.
"Pre-planning really intrudes on your love-making and I think this pill will help quite a lot of men feel normal again … These kinds of medications give them one less thing to worry about."
