many of them go for women under the age of 30

The Brazilian government is said to be getting increasingly concerned about what they call the “Viagra effect”. A report issued by National Social Security Institute explains that with older men marrying much younger women, a large number of young widows are being created who are allowed to carry on drawing their husband’s pensions till they die too.

Paulo Tafner who wrote the report explained that the pension system was designed so that wives would receive the pension of their husbands for around fifteen years however with the fact that Viagra is enabling older men to have younger wives the payouts might continue for as much as 30 years or more.

Mr. Tafner did however point out that the Viagra tablets were not 100 percent to blame because the trend of older men getting married to younger women actually started in the 70's but it seems to have been accelerated by the arrival of erectile dysfunction medication in 1998.

Whatever the reason the fact is that the Viagra drug is changing the demographics of society and this will put a big strain on pension systems not just in Brazil but in other parts of the world. In Brazil 64 percent of the separated men aged over 50 marry women younger than them and many of them go for women under the age of 30. 

One person who will vouch for the life changing abilities of Viagra is none other than Hugh Hefner of Playboy Magazine who claims that he could not possibly have the lifestyle he lives without the little blue pill.

Millions of men around the world have been given a new lease of life with the arrival of Viagra and have changed their lifestyles completely. Some argue that the freedom that Viagra gives older men is not always beneficial as it encourages them to leave their lifelong partners and look for younger women.
