Viagra turns 10

"The scourge of email" has also ruined more than a few marriages.
Viagra has been blamed for promoting a scourge of unnaturally horny older men, whose newfound sexual prowess can throw a spanner into previously placid marriages.

'I am 62 years old and the mother of six grown children, and I was thrilled when my 64-year-old husband began to slow down about two years ago,' one woman wrote to US advice columnist Ann Landers.

'So now what happens? A pill called Viagra is invented, and the old goat is back in the saddle. I do love my husband, but I believe I have earned a rest. Besides, these pills cost 10 dollars apiece. Last week he had four.'

New York divorce lawyer Raoul Felder recently represented the wife of a 70-year-old who began cheating on her within days of first taking Viagra.

'Older men are more able to perform again, so they're going elsewhere - to younger, greener pastures,' Felder recently told the British newspaper, the Observer.

In the case of Frank Milio, prosecutors have issued subpoenas and plan to take him to trial in April.

Milio, according to police records, tried to pay $20 in November to an undercover officer on 14th Street West.

Milio recently told the Herald-Tribune he was only flirting with the woman.

"I haven't had that in years," he said. "Ninety-three is kind of old."
