Can Chinese men get it up?

Can Chinese men get it up?

That’s the question of the day. I came to wondering this by taking a walk along one the streets in Suzhou and as I passed a pharmacy I saw a massive advertisement for Viagra. Advertising for Viagra is extremely common at pharmacies in Suzhou however this one was a little different on a neon cardboard sign attached to the upper edge of the Viagra Advertisement was Bold letters that proclaimed “A Great Gift For Your Friends” I don’t know about in your home country but in Canada there is no way anyone would even tell their friends they needed Viagra. I can’t even imagine this conversation

 

Mike: Hey Dave your wife told me your having some issues with getting the little guy up

Dave: Yeah It doesn’t matter how much I turkey choke him he just won’t firm up he flops over in       seconds

Mike: Really that’s awful

Dave: Tell me about it

Mike: By the way Happy Birthday here a little something for you

Dave: WOW! Thanks Mike this Viagra is just what I needed

Mike: No problem

Dave: I don’t know how I can repay you, you’ve saved my marriage

Mike: Don’t worry about it. My birthday is coming up next week just get me a case of those little blue magic pills also.

 

Does that conversation sound realistic? I should think not.  I think if you question most foreign men about their impotence they would probably beat you half to death

However my curiosity was forcing me to investigate so I went inside the pharmacy and asked the 2 woman working there if the Viagra was a popular item to buy and they told me it was extremely popular I asked them if they got a lot of grandpa’s popping in to stock up on the stuff. When I said this they burst out laughing I was intrigued why this would make them laugh because back home Viagra was grandpa’s wish come true and grandma’s nightmares come to life

So I had to ask who was the main consumer which they quickly pointed out was men in their 20’s or 30’s which struck me as surprise because I figured men in their 20’s and 30’s would have the least trouble getting it up. They said that they rarely have old men come in and buy it however occasionally some woman who look “kept” come in and pick some up which they are presumably bringing home to their sugar daddy

 

It was these facts that brought me to the questions of “Can Chinese men get it up” which I hope any Chinese men reading this will be able to comment or any Chinese woman who might experienced this at the receiving end can add in their 2 cents

1 - Haha, I think the main reason they might tout the "gift" angle is more to save face. Advertising that you "can" buy it for a gift makes it easier for the guy to go in and say "no, no really... it's for a friend."

That's actually one of the more clever ads I've seen come to think of it. (Comment this)

2 - I have seen better Viagra commercials before. the most clever one i have seen was probably the guy doing push-ups then he switches to one armed push-ups and keeps going then he puts both hands behind his back and is still doing push-ups with no hands, i will try find a link to the video on YouTube (Comment this)

3 - I wonder what would happen if a woman ingested some of those blue pills.

Funny post by the way.

4 - Maybe impotance is not the only reason one would like to buy and use viagra... a lot of gay friends of mine like to use it to enhance their preformance and esp. endurance :)
and @ hek: if a woman takes viagra there usually is some effect like longer and more swelling in the labia's etc but a lot less dramatic if compared to the effect with men, sorry ;) (Comment this)

5 - Does that conversation sound realistic? My answer is no.It's just advertisement.the viagra company r always trying to exaggerate the truth in order to promote the products.
And I quite suspect the 2 women's saying,when u asked them,perhaps they were just kidding with u,cuz u were from other country.

6 - Ray, that conversation was written by me as an example of what doesn't happen in North America. And the conversation with the 2 woman i don't think its too likely that they were joking with me because one we spoke in Chinese and two they were very shocked when i asked them the older woman was blushing very much
but thanks for reading (Comment this)

7 - My, my, my, it seems you young fellows have not heard about the latest - Viagra is now the recreational drug of choice amongst many virile and (over)active men in Canada. So the real conversation would go like this:

Hey Basil did you try that half tab of vitamin V I gave you?

Yes it was great. Rock solid. Lasted forever.

Were you with the wife?

Hell no I was with the 30 year old. She appreciated every minute of it!

etc. etc.

I think that the Chinese advertisers have actually stumbled upon what is going on here. To quote my (lady) doctor when I asked for another batch of Viagra or Cialis or Levitra samples and told her they cost $15 each. "The viagra samples go real fast. Now I know why." Chinese people like to show off their wealth to their friends so what is more hip than passing on some legit vitamin V! Enjoy (Comment this)

8 - hei man ,i'm just a college student in china.
i saw ur qusetions
i have and want to say something to you.
BUT
i'm a girl....and i have no boyfriend now

As far as i know the friends beside me
there's none tried viagra
i think the impotence peoples are anywhere in the world
not only in CHINA .
the advertisement is not realistic
a proverbial saying　a tree is known by its fruit
if the Chinese man can not get it up
why the populace in China are the Frist in the world！！？ (Comment this)
