Weird Commercials: Male Edition

sidsmom — Tue, 20 Aug 2019 14:10:30 GMT

This business/commercial has so Many Layers of Wrong with it,

I don’t know where to start.

I listen to a sports radio station, so I’m used to the LowT

and ED commercials. I get it. But there’s something about this

commercial (Roman) that tries to normalize it w/ a medical doctors

& a former Surgeon General endorsing....just...no.

Erectile dysfunction is a huge cardiovascular problem.

Instead of ordering pills for a fun night, these guys need to make

a ‘real’ appointment w/ a doctor. To ‘normalize’ heart disease w/

a catchy app is disgusting.

As a woman, to get a prescription to my birth control pills,

I had to take time off work, drive to the Dr office, get undressed,

get a Pap smear & end the visit with a strong sale to get a

mammogram...THEN have to drudge down to the drug store each

month to fill my prescription. All trouble just just get my pills.

But with guys? We’ll just give you the pills, no questions asked.

Has anyone else seen this commercial?

I won't watch any of those Big Pharma commercials. IMO they should all be against the law.

I hate the diabetes commercial where the guy is dancing around acting all happy like that's how it is when you are diabetic. Makes me sick. Same with the rest of their commercials.

Can't believe people go to their doctor's asking for these drugs after seeing them???

Like you said it's easy for a man to get that blue pill. That's what I told my doctor years ago when dealing with hot flashes & no help from the doctor. I was told that's part of a woman's life to deal with it. I said yes just like you tell men to deal with it when you hand out those blue pills. He just looked at me???

ITA it's a cardiovascular problem that needs to be dealt with.

Yes, I have seen it.....I am aware that ED is a cardio issue and don't understand why...well I guess I understand, but these men really should see a doctor before ordering and taking the 'pill'.

I can't imagine a wife would OK this for her husband...women have to discuss personal issues all the time with their doctors, I guess men are not grown up enough to do the same.

First of all men are terribly embarrassed, and secondly chances are good their wives or significant others don’t even know.

@sidsmom yea this advertisement is right up there with the male hormone and female hormone and human growth hormone supplement commercials. I don't care that these supplements are most likely weaker than and RX would be, I think it's wreckless to futz with one's endocrine system

Oh good grief-you don't just sign into Roman and get pills. You still have to consult with an online licensed physician before those pills will be sent out.

It is the same as the growing business of online consultations with licensed physicians for everything from ear infections to ED.

BC pills can be obtained the same way today.

This is a nonsense thread meant to be "clever" and falls short because the way Roman works was overlooked. You still need to discuss your issues with the licensed physician before being prescribed any ED medication.

its clearly directed at young guys who are loathe to see a doctor. doctors may not give them a script. the young ones don't "need" it so much as they like to use ED drugs recreationally

It’s NOT a ‘Big Pharma’ commercial.

It’s an independently owned company.

@Mom2Dogs

It’s a simple human anatomy lesson.

We have veins inside our body.

These veins can get blocked because of plaque.

Also, these veins, which can be blocked, are affected everywhere in our body. It causes circulation issues. Most all diseases are affected

by poor circulation.

That’s why ED is considered a 1st warning sign of heart disease in men...

the ‘carnary in the coal mine’, so to speak.

If they can’t have an erection or avoid sexual situations,

their partner knows.

“ONLINE” is the ridiculous part you’re overlooking.

Especially when ED is a cardiovascular issue.

Birth control, which I used in my post, is not a cardiovascular issue.

An ‘ear infection’ is not a cardiovascular issue.

ED shouldn’t be taken lightly.

I think you might have misunderstood my reply, I probably was not clear.....I know ED is a cardio issue my point was I know why men don't ask for help...it's an embarassing issue for them to discuss.

@Mom2Dogs

Yes, thanks for circling back. My bad...I did misunderstood your post.

It’s crazy to think men are ‘embarrased’ with an issue related to heart disease.

I guess the radical fallout of a heart attack/stroke isn’t ‘embarrassing.’ SMH

Where is your misinformation coming from? There are actually many possible resons for erectile dysfunction and most have absolutely nothing to do with cardiovascular disease. I don't know how an online doctor would examine a patient and then prescribe medication. I can't see how that would work or be safe. For that reason, I agree with you. It's not a good thing because the underlying reason for ED would go undiagnosed.

Please read up on this to gain more knowledge.

Just a quick Google search might help.

ED has everything to do with cardiovascular disease.

If conditions are mis-diagnosed or left untreated, there might be

permanent damage...those would be among the few outliers

where other treatments would be needed.

Many conditions are because of an unhealthy cardiovascular system.

ED is just one of many. For a man having this issue, it’s quite

dangerous to not go to a doctor for the reasons why he has ED.

WOW! So far all the responses to the OP question are in reference to ED.

The commercial airing now over and over in the evening that is driving me crazy is the guy in the shower drinking a Coors. Shower Beer? I don't get it but I could be clueless.

Coors' has another one showing a woman taking her bra off from under her blouse. I read where Coors' is trying a new marketing strategy...one they think would appeal to the younger, more casual crowd.

I would like to mention that hormonal birth control absolutely relates to cardiovascular health, epecially as a woman gets older. If you have high BP and/or cholesterol, and you're on HBC, it can cause a cardiac event. I know this because my doctor took me off of it due to my age and these risk factors. So it is similar to the ED drugs, I guess, in that it should be a consideration.
