"Ladette Culture" means some guys need viagra. Is that really true?

Does this story ring true for anyone?

The story sounds like something I would have read in the 1950s. I think that a semi-anonymous forum like this is the place to find out.

I don't see how this is a PI.

That seems a blatant pimiping of your blog, and is a ways from a Personal Issue.

I think the OP is just trying to get people to respond in truth to this without having to give away their username or identity.

I have to laugh though at the notion of these "poor" guys taking drugs in their struggle to keep up with Ireland's insatiable women :-) God forbid they'd just say no.

Marksie

Not a pi.

It may be nothing more to be an image thing than anything else, girls looking for as much casual sex as possible and guys all in competition with each other. Casual sex on the continent (Spain, Italy, France etc) doesn't appear to have this problem. Weather helps of course.In a way there can be nothing more intimidating for a bloke than seeing a pack of girls all huddled around each other eyeing everybody up. Drinking is a huge problem, I can't understand why so many Irish girls do it. Last two girlfriends I had were Chinese and Maltese and I lost count the number of times I had to explain to them why the drinking culture is so rampant here, they didn't seem to understand.It is not nesessary, people should be comfortable with who they are. Getting totally wasted before you even go out is stupid and causes problems. Lady to ladette, you decide? I would go with lady as the term ladette is just plain ridiculus. A combination of too much drink and not enough wit from both sides. Resorting to viagra is just plain stupid and is dangerous, especially if you suffer from other problems and are taking other medicine, like chest pains etc. Pub culture from the UK is seeping into here. I witnessed it living in England. Time to quit the over-excessive drinking beforehand and just enjoy the night. Sorry for the rant.

As someone on a radio show talking about this recently said: "it's the cocaine".

oh boo hoo

jesus christ, men have been acting this way for a long ass time and now that some women decide they want a slice of the action it's a social problem?

**** them, they can do what they want.

Women with strong sexual drives....oh no, what a travesty

Where are they by the way...I live in Laois. HA!

Post was in the Belfast Telegraph, doesn't necessarily mean it's up there, you are most welcome to go up and see for yourself. Not a social problem, more of an image problem I would hazzard a guess.

"Look at me I'm Mary O' Conor". Self publicising rubbish masquerading as a serious article. I had seen this piece of trash in the Sunday Independent a month or more ago and it just confirmed why I despise that paper. "Ireland's leading psychosexual therapist" in a field of how many? Totally anecdotal crap with no evidence or research to back it up.

20 year olds who can't get it up at the drop of a pair of knickers.

Does not ring true.

This is a waste of pixels, there is no way of discerning if this is true or not in the writers point of view. Its a story, nothing more than a self gratifying piece of garbage written to make the writer feel better about themselves, im sure there are some men out there that do need a viagra pill at 20 due to medical issues, but i seriously doubt its due to a sexually active woman wanting sex right away -.-

ha ha ha, its a non story created by a women 'psychologist' looking to get her name in the papers and do her bit for feminism

No doubt it will be in 'Heat' or 'Cosmo' next and that means it must be true:D
