schestowitz> still struggling to appreciate your viagra versus contact lensesJul 16 17:23
schestowitz> analogy, i've put it to a few mates and they dont get it either can youJul 16 17:24
schestowitz> explain again please matey:) Jul 16 17:24
schestowitzHehe. Well, basically, viagra improves a particular function (no, I never tried viagra), but it is not a natural thing, it's an external enhancement. As a child, my dad sort of forbade (very gently) it when I took up his eyeglasses to try them. He said I was getting my eyes accustomed for dependence. WHile contact lenses or glasses can improve my somewhat impaired long-range sight, it also trains my eyes to stop struggling Jul 16 17:24
schestowitzfor independence from external factors. Although I cannot prove it, I reckon that people who use viagra suppress or weaken their natural ability to get an erection. Sometimes the body needs to work hard on its own, e.g. natural birth vs. c-section and pain killers. We're becoming overly dependent on enhancements. Back in the days I was taking protein shakes too; I stopped that when I was 20.Jul 16 17:24
