just two tablets every month! 
National Health Service managers are likely to face a barrage of outrage and complaints after they put forward recommendations that the prescriptions for the erectile dysfunction drug Viagra and its rivals Cialis and Levitra should be restricted to just two tablets every month!
The recommendations which come from The South Central Priorities Committee of the National Health Service are targeted at the health trusts of Oxfordshire, Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, Berkshire East and Berkshire West. As well as this doctors were advised that there was very little evidence that counseling for sexual problems was of any benefit and therefore it was recommended that they did not recommend psychosexual interventions and psychotherapy.
This situation is only going to increase the debate about whether people should have a right to free erectile dysfunction medication or whether the act of having sex is a luxury and privilege as opposed to a human right. Some people will argue that if a man has smoked all of his life, never done any exercise and continues to eat unhealthily should the taxpayer be required to fund his sex life? On the other hand if not being able to have sex causes a man great mental distress and depression surely that man as a citizen of the United Kingdom has the right to treatment which removes that mental anxiety.
It is obviously an extremely difficult and tricky question because there are those men who use their free prescriptions of Viagra, Cialis and Levitra for immoral and even illegal purposes. For example there was outrage in America when it was revealed that a convicted sex offender had been receiving free Viagra prescriptions.
On the other hand what about a happily married couple who are trying to have children and who are having difficulties in the bedroom? Should they have more rights to free Viagra prescriptions than a married man who is using his erectile dysfunction medication to have an affair with a prostitute?
