The problem here is that kids are asking grown-ups what ED is. If I were a kid, I’d be a bit mystified by those commercials as well.

While I’d certainly like to see far fewer ED ads on TV, I’m wondering about the true motivations behind this bill.

Could it be that some men, who never had to worry about constant maxi pad or yeast infection commercials, are now embarrassed? Are advertisers finally treating the sexes equally by making men squirm too?!? Perhaps they feel what it’s been like to walk in our shoes all these years, putting up with far too many personal ads on TV. Maybe if the bill were introduced by a woman, I wouldn’t be so skeptical.

My other hesitation to see the ads banned is that I’m a big fan of free speech. Is it really fair to allow the incessant cholesterol-lowering drug commercials, but no commercials for ED? I don’t think so. The ads, although very annoying, are discreet enough.

Perhaps the problem of kids asking what erectile dysfunction is can be solved by the advertisers simply not saying that phrase. Come on people. We ALL know what Viagra does.

What do you think about the potential ban on ED ads?
