Many people assume that Viagra users are elderly, weak men, but thats is not necessarily true. Not all men who use Viagra even have an erectile dysfunction. Because of society's high expectations for a man's sexual performance and desire, many average men have resorted to taking Viagra. In Men's Lives, Meiko Loe describes this phenomenon as "Viagra exposes the flawed "natural" body and enables a man to achieve mythic masculinity." (285). Stimulants and enhancements like Viagra supposedly increase a man's ability to physically please a woman, which in turn makes him more of a man. Viagra can be seen not only as a tool for those who have some sort of physical disorder, but those who are looking enhance their masculinity through an improved sexual performance. Viagra is about more than repairing the machinery of a "broken male," it also contributes to repairing and improving the confidence of all men.
