Thank God for women like South Carolina Democrat, Mia McLeod, the state representative from Columbia who’s standing guard for men’s health concerns. Her efforts to promote the well-being of men in her state are nothing short of saintly, and I for one will tip my hat for the effort she has undertaken to insure that the male species not only survives, but flourishes sexually.
Why all the glowing accolades? Well, Representative McLeod has taken it upon herself to lead the fight against “priapism,” a malady that Wikipedia defines as “a potentially painful medical condition in which the erect penis does not return to its flaccid state, despite the absence of both physical and psychological stimulation, within four hours.” It’s an unfortunate side-effect of drugs like Cialis and Viagra that treat erectile dysfunction and the men who are unlucky and experience the side-effect of priapism will never get an erection again. If you’re a male, that’s not a pleasant thought. That’s where Mia McLoed enters the picture.
Ms. McLoed has introduced a measure in the South Carolina Legislature to insure than men are fully apprised of the risks of taking erectile dysfunction medication and the drugs’ tragic side effects and are properly educated concerning alternative treatment options, including the benefits of celibacy and other non-sexual lifestyles.
According to Representative McLoed’s proposal, men seeking treatment for erectile dysfunction would have to meet several conditions before having drugs like Viagra and Cialis prescribed, conditions that include, (a) waiting 24-hours before a prescription can be written; (b) submission of a notarized affidavit by a sexual partner attesting to the patient’s erectile dysfunction; (c) undergo an exam by a state-licensed sex therapist to document that the patient’s erectile dysfunction isn’t due solely to psychological factors; and (d) attend three therapy sessions within six months where the benefits of celibacy are discussed.
I imagine there will be critics of Ms. McLeod’s proposal (mostly men, I presume), but similar types of legislation regarding women’s reproductive health issues have breezed through the South Carolina Legislature and only a bunch of moronic hypocrites with legislative erectile dysfunction would prevent McLoed’s proposal from becoming the law of the land. Seriously, how hard could that be?
