I’m pretty sure that most insurance should provide coverage for Viagra. Birth control isn’t a cure for anything. Getting pregnant is perventable and not typically a medical problem. How do you not understand that?"</b> SCREAM! Wow, does this comment EVER have a disapproving sniff to it. How, exactly, do you prevent pregnancy without birth control?! Lemme guess, the writer is one of those people who feels that sex should only take place between two people (heterosexual, married to each other, and probably also at night, in the dark); anything else is suspect and deserving of the 'punishment' of pregnancy. Guess what, plenty of women take contraceptive pills for other valid medical reasons, including dysmenorrhea. Are they just supposed to keep their legs crossed and/or hope for the best? Don't THEY get to use their body parts when and how they want? I'm stunned that this Victorian notion that sex must always have consequences for women is still around and that someone would display it so openly. “Well, erectile disfunction is a medical problem that limits you from using a part of your body.
