Australia: People must not be told about help for a medical condition?
Although it is a subject of some mirth, erectile dysfunction is a real medical condition. But the purse-lipped puritans can think of no time on TV when a cure may appropriately be advertised -- "for the children", of course.
"The advertising watchdog is set to receive a new wave of complaints when a commercial for erectile dysfunction treatment, banned from billboards, launches on television today. In the Advanced Medical Institute ads a man's voice is heard asking phrases "Are you finishing too quickly?" and "Do you want to get up and stay up?" before a woman's voice cries out "yes". The commercials, which were trialled in regional NSW, will run in the M timeslot of midday to 3pm and after 9.30pm and will not be allowed during school holidays.
But child advocate Julie Gale, director of Kids Free 2B Kids, said there were a lot of children watching TV through the day. "Its naive to think otherwise," she said. "Lots of teens are still watching after 9.30pm. "Kids and young teens simply dont need to be exposed to blatant messages about erectile dysfunction before they've had time to really understand their own naturally emerging sexuality. "The advert gives a warped and limited view about sex - that an erect penis is all a man needs, and all a woman wants."
AMI chief executive officer Jack Vaisman said men have a right to know help was available.

The more of these stories i see coming out of Australia the less respect i have for the Australian people. I was always under the impression that they were a strong, freedom-loving people. But how could a strong people allow their nation to go so far to the Left? Do they not realize that the ideology of the Left is actually anti-freedom?
I can understand it happining to the Brits, since they've never been known for being strong, but the Aussies? Sad. Truly sad!
Every time I hear one of those ads (in the States) with the caution that if you get one of those 4 hours thingies going on, you should seek medical advice it occurs to me that if I DID have that happen, my first inclination would be to dig out the video camera and call a press conference....
I sure as hell wouldn't be looking for a doctor! A couple of nurses maybe, but not a doctor!
Seriously, folks, if you can't get it up, likely you really need to do these two things:
1. Give up the porn
2. Spend time working on your relationship with your wife
In most cases, your "problem" is not physical. It's usually because you have become mentally desensitized, and you need to re-focus.
Some doctors are female you know! - or don't you?
And some nurses are male
