Ew! Very, very, very disturbing question about Viagra.....

[flora]

So...this is something that has been bothering me all week, and is gross on many, many levels but I am concerned...

Last Sunday my dad called to ask me if he could borrow my luggage for an upcoming business trip. I brought the luggage by my parent's house that evening and stayed for dinner. After dinner my mom and I had some wine while my dad packed for his trip and went to bed early. As I was leaving, I remembered that in my large suitcase I had forgotten to remove the stash of tampons I keep in the outside pocket. I wasn't really thinking about it, and opened up the pocket to remove the tampons only to discover (horror upon horrors), my dad's Viagra prescription.

At first I was disturbed at the mere though of my dad even taking Viagra, but then I realized there as another, even more horrifying level to this....he was taking Viagra on a business trip-without my mother! So...not only is he taking Viagra, he is taking it with him when he leaves town without his wife.

Is there a valid reason he might have been taking the pills? Is this a sure sign he is cheating on my mom? They have been married for 35 years, and I have never seen any signs that either of them has strayed.

So he can have some quality self-time in his hotel room?

Ugh!!!

Do men use Viagra for that? Because as horrible as it is to think about that it is way, way better than him cheating on my mother.

Then you don't want to hear stories of what 14 year old boys do with their peckers around the house...

It's also possible you stumbled upon an awkward situation where he needed a place to hide the viagra and chose the bag as an impromptu place.

Many a bad thing has happened when hasty conclusions are drawn.

Leave room for error on your part.

How do you know he was taking it without your mother?

[vashti]

Viagra is commonly used to treat pulmonary hypertension.

In other words, mind your own business.

Ok...good to know!

I assumed he was taking it without my mother because he was bringing it on a business trip that my mom would not be attending. I think I will just attempt to erase this entire incident from my mind!

You seem very well informed in pharmaceuticals. Is that your moneymaker?

Yeah flora you should probably mind your own business although working in a pharmacy myself, I know there are cheaper alternatives to treating PAH then Viagra. That shits expensive but if it gets guys wood, they will pay the dough for it.

well in all honestly, regardless of what "we" think... we aren't really gonna know the truth. only one person can tell you this, and if you really want to know, then you're gonna have to suck it up and ask him yourself.

She doesn't need to know. It's not her business any more than if she borrowed his suitcase and accidentally left a large box of generic pseudoephedrine and a battery powered massager in the side pocket.

[Illusional]

well this could potentially break up her parents' marriage.

[vashti]

That's exactly why she should stay out of it.

hrmm.... i dunno if i could stay silent about something like this...

there is always the "what if's" that comes into play.
