Well, the main arguement I've heard is birth control, the morning after, or abortion is unnatural and God wouldn't want you to kill a life. But, with viagra, you are extending the time you are about to procreate/have sex. Isn't THAT unnatural? If God wanted you to be able to have sex at age 80, wouldn't he have allowed it without medication?

To certain answers, I know there is more to sex than procreation. I'm talking about religious people who say, "You cannot use Birth Control, the morning after, or the abortion drug because it's unnatural, and sex is for procreation."
I believe ALL should be allowed (viagra included). But I'm wondering for those who are against those drugs, how do you say Viagra is ok, but BC is not?

But, if it's not unnatural to take viagra, even if your penis stops working, because they made a drug for it, why is it unnatural to take an aborticide if they've made a drug for it?
Wouldn't you assume if God was against medications of this sort, they wouldn't exist? And if not, how can you say God is ok with prolonging sex (when really, you have no idea what God is thinking. The bible says sex is for procreation. Viagra doesn't extend procreation, and if it does, well, the human body had ended this process, which in a way is "God" ending this process) but it's not ok for another drug be an aborticide.

Viagra is simply a medicine to cure/supress erectile dysfunction in men. It's purpose is not to increase procreation, though that may be a side effect. Viagra is like any other medication: it cares for a particular disease. It's logical, then, to assume that God would not object to someone taking medication for a condition that prevents them from having sex, which is a natural biological process which God himself invented.

Killing a life and having sex for long periods of time are two completely different things. It's not unnatural to have sex when your old period. It can be natural for an 80 yr. old to have sex if he takes care of himself. Why are you trying to stop old people from getting their freak on. How can you compare having sex to murder, are you trying to justify abortion as acceptable. two wrongs don't make a right. even if viagra was unnatural for an old man to have sex that doesnt make abortion okay.

I'm a nurse and I have to tell you: wives absolutely shudder when their husbands ask for viagra. Especially the ones that are in their 60's. We've joked around plenty of times at the nurses station. We think the wives of these men should have to sign a form giving their husbands permission to take it. Can you imagine after all those years and then POW! Ouch.

Viagra is considered treatment for the condition of erectile dysfunction (not going into more details about that) and since it's a medication, I don't have a problem with it.
I don't have a problem with birth control since I'm not Catholic.

There is more to sex than just procreation

The thought of two old people or at least one having sex is disturbing, scary, and just wrong.
