The introduction of erection pills has opened the door to the pharmacological enhancement of sexual pleasure. We all know that the human reproductive system is no longer reliant solely on nature to make the decision about when, and if, pregnancy should take place. Vasectomies and birth control pills are commonplace features of our lives. New technology has stretched the years in which a woman can have a baby. Today, even post-menopausal women can have children.
By altering the procreative destinies of men and women—as they wish them to be—sex is most often about pleasure. Therefore, how can the medical establishment deny humans the right to the most exciting and fulfilling sex, including entirely restored erectile function? And, for those with «healthy» function, who is to say that it shouldn’t be enhanced any further?
With the approach of rapidly evolving medical technology and newer medications, is it right to prescribe drugs for a person who isn’t sick? If we look at what is demanded by healthy people, the answer is a definitive yes. We are living in an era in which the public is receptive to custom-tailored pharmacological interventions that not only fight disease but also raise and maintain the quality of their lives. Our century has been marked by the nationwide use of vaccines that prevent serious illnesses in otherwise healthy people. Standardized vaccinations and injections have rendered a number of life-threatening diseases, including measles, diphtheria, polio, tetanus’, typhoid fever, and even different types of hepatitis powerless.
