Love and other drugs: drug abuse and viagra

Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway in "Love and Other Drugs" (2010)

"Some 5% of Americans over age 50 admit to abusing drugs, according to a new government study.

Researchers believe the number of people born between 1946 and 1964 who seek drug abuse treatment will double by 2020, straining an under-prepared system.

"We need much better support services for the number of older adults who are going to have substance abuse problems," said Dr. Gary Kennedy, director of Geriatric Psychiatry at Montefiore Medical Center.

There's a pattern of older adults mellowing out of illicit drug use and transitioning into prescription and alcohol abuse, Kennedy said. He's seen baby boomers abusing everything from painkillers like Valium to stimulants like Dexedrine."

"Dr Reddy is the chairman of Council of Sex Education and Parenthood International (CSEPI) and Indian Andropause Society. He believes that “a day will come when we will say, ‘Viagra pill a day will keep the cardiologist away’”.

“The pendulum has swung from one extreme to another — from treating sexual medicine as an ‘unnecessary luxury’ or ‘frivolous’ to considering it a mainstream health issue”, said Dr Reddy.
Since its advent and approval, in 1998, Viagra has helped combat male impotence. The treatment has been used by millions of men, worldwide, and has helped them to achieve better sex lives. It is now possible to buy Viagra online, and the treatment has become universally accepted as a way to overcome erection problems.

“Viagra has made a huge impact on the society. The medical fraternity’s perception about sexuality has changed”, concluded Dr Reddy. Source: www.healthexpress.co.uk

She’ll appear opposite Rupert Everett and Hugh Dancy in Hysteria, a romantic comedy about the London doctors who began treating “hysteria” (”a woman’s irritability, anger or unexplained tears”) with their new electrical device (replacing the previous treatment, a hearty throttling). Before they could market it, the two would have to withstand a public smear campaign from Thomas Edison, who tried to demonstrate that their product was dangerous by vibrating to death an elephant’s vagina".

Anna Paquin got married!

The idea of celibate vampires is ridiculous, True Blood creator Alan Ball says. "To me, vampires are sex," he says. "I don't get a vampire story about abstinence. I'm 53. I don't care about high school students. I find them irritating and uninformed." On his show, every available orifice is used for intercourse: gay, straight, between humans and supernatural beings, and supernatural being on supernatural being, whether he be werewolf, dog or an enormous Minotaur-looking being called a maenad. None of the sex is quite as good as vampire sex, though, which can happen at the astonishing rhythm of 120 bpm while simultaneously devouring one's neck and making your eyes roll back into your head. Says Stephen Moyer — who plays Bill Compton, the undead Southern Civil War Veteran — "If we go from a base level, vampires create a hole in the neck where there wasn't one before. It's a de-virginization — breaking the hymen, creating blood and then drinking the virginal blood. And there's something sharp, the fang, which is probing and penetrating and moving into it. So that's pretty sexy. I think that makes vampires attractive." He laughs a little. "Plus, Robert Pattinson is just hot, right?" Source: www.rollingstone.com

When Anna Paquin married her True Blood costar Stephen Moyer on Saturday night, her wedding jewelry was true glam. “She wanted something with a vintage-inspired, romantic vibe,” says celebrity jeweler Neil Lane, who provided Paquin with a stunning necklace–complete with a whopping 50 carats of round diamonds!–set in darkened metal for a patina vintage style. To balance out the dramatic look, Paquin, 28, wore a white halterneck gown and donned an elegant pair of diamond studs, also from Lane. The other lucky recipient of the jeweler’s sparkly bling? Paquin’s mom, who opted for a bracelet and earrings. The couple solidified their union with platinum wedding bands, designed by Cathy Waterman

Yesterday, new husband Stephen Moyer went shirtless as he took a dip in the water at Venice Beach with some family and friends.
