Viagra breath?

Okay, I was listening to the radio this morning, like I do every morning so as not to get bored going through the same motions of putting on my foundation, shoes, and eating breakfast every day (monotony drives me insane!) and I was vaguely listening to a commercial about breath strips when they paired the brand Viagra with it. They were advertising Viagra breath strips. I actually stopped rotating the Q-tip in my ear.

Viagra through the mouth?

Have we come to that?

The advertisement casually suggested popping this Viagra breath strip in before a night out.

I am all for men having better sex--I’m all for everyone having better sex. Power to you! But, it just seems so, I don’t know--advanced? I mean, taking birth control pills is a fairly advanced and accessible way to not get pregnant, so, I guess that’s fair. We ladies have fast, accessible ways to good sex, too. Vibrators (in some states) are perfectly legal. Hell, maybe I’m just jealous. Maybe I want a breath strip for us women that promises better performance. Maybe if they could make a breath strip for coffee then I would call it fair. Better performance at work is better than sex anyway, right?  Just kidding, geez!
