For a very long time, the term aphrodisiac was, basically, a description of something mythical. Sure, some people here and there claimed that they knew of a �genuine� aphrodisiac; but those claims never resulted in the mad rush that an actual, reliable aphrodisiac would have created. But what about booze (liquor)? Isn�t booze an aphrodisiac? Liquor can reduce inhibitions, but liquor certainly doesn�t reliably improve intimacy performance and enhance sensation.

Viagra was the first certified enhancer available on a wide scale. Though Viagra is technically a treatment for a medical condition -- impotence, also known by its polite name �erectile dysfunction� -- Viagra allows for intimacy performance, and also increases climax.

The world hasn�t been the same since Viagra came on the scene.

In truth, Viagra is a bit of a chauvinistic elixir: it�s only for the guys. Viagra also has the drawback of being a prescription-only product. This hasn�t stopped millions of resourceful fellows from, somehow or other, securing a supply of Viagra without going through the typical process of visiting their local MD and getting a prescription. But, in truth, in the United States at least, Viagra should only be dispensed to men with certifiable ED (erectile dysfunction). Though, unfortunately, millions of men do in fact have ED, millions more don�t have it -- but some of these guys obviously want to use an intimacy enhancer anyway; so they black-marketed Viagra.

Someone somewhere was obviously following this story, because, before you knew it, there were -- tadah! -- non-prescription Viagra alternatives available. And were these Viagra alternatives a hit? You bet your intimacy enhancer they were. All those non-ED guys, and maybe some of the ED guys too, could now get their aphrodisiac going without having to break some law, or confess a personal medical problem to their doc. It was the flip side of the law of Supply And Demand: create a demand, and someone will produce a supply.

In a stroke of marketing genius, some of the Viagra alternatives got famous �adult performers� to endorse their products. And why not?

When attempting to sell a jackhammer, who do you get to tell the masses about how well your jackhammer pounds?

A construction worker, of course.
