More confusion
Just saw yet another Cialis (erectile dysfunction) commercial. They'll probably develop a Cialis chewing gum by next week, while the mysteries of cancer, AIDS, and so many other fatal diseases go unsolved. Good to know the pharmaceutical companies have our scientific priorities in order. And by the way -- what exactly is romantic about two people sitting next to each other in separate bathtubs? Are they soaking in the afterglow? Anybody?

Well, since you asked, the commercial is a male fantasy that taps into the "we had sex now go away" syndrome. Since women would be in an uproar if they actually showed him kicking her out of bed they used this masculine visual code to represent the same thing.
I hate this product since it had nothing to do with libido and all to do with hydraulics. It is the ultimate symbol of the disconnect between intimacy and sex in our society.
PS- Just found your blog and look forward to reading more.
